| I was given a 8 day old puppy to bottle feed because the mom had died. I found this site when he was 4 weeks old. I don't know whether or not I'm happy about that. I now realize how lucky I am that he is thriving at 8 weeks. I would have been terrified if I read this when I got him. I also could have used the advice. I was however lucky enough to have been given the number of an experienced breeder whose guidance was a lifesaver for him. We all appreciate the experience of brreders |

| Missed Gemy's post the first time I guess due to my smallish windows. Her post is still more required reading. I stay out of this section because I can't add anything but when I see some names posting in it, I have to read what you say just for general information in case I run into someone in a waiting room, etc., who starts to share they are trying to decide to breed their female or not. Things like this give one some powerful tools to mention they will need to know, have, buy, do and such that hopefully will discourage the casual breeder wannabe who wants to put any given female with any given male. Thanks for educating us all so we can use that information however we can to help dogs. P. S. Why didn't Gemy's post print out in blue up above mine? I checked for the "quick reply"?

| I have always been adamant about spay/neuter. After a years long disagreement with my mother about it, I was able to show her this thread. If nothing else good came out of this heartache, she finally sees why I feel the way I do. |

| Maybe I didn't click hard enough on the Quick Reply under Gail's post to "take" or some thing.

| This puppy more than likely had intestinal problems, as the siblings had malformed organs too, whether due to toxins, genes, and/or infection. I believe that there was nothing the OP did or could have done could have saved this little one, other than pre-pregnancy testing.

| Hopefully there was an autopsy done so she will know without supposition, what was responsible for this pups death. When she gets her diagnosis, then she can back track, and see at precisely what point in the development of the embryo, things went south. Then she can pull up her records and see what if anything, the dam received or did during that week- two week period of time. This is the benefit of keeping detailed records and following up with necropsy especially with the death of the entire litter, with obvious malformations, etc.. I know alot of people do not opt for necropsies....but with breeders, these are invaluable tools that must be utilized in order to prevent or aviod the same problem from occuring again in your future litters. This is information for anyone that has this event take place, not just this OP.... Regardless of the cause/reason a baby dies, while there may very well be absolutely NOTHING we could possible have done to save that baby, all we CAN do is be prepared with ALL the supplies we will need, available and on hand, to try to save the baby. And in MY opinion, if there is a critical malformation that is definately going to cause the death of that baby, regardless of what efforts are made, then I would opt to euthanize the enfant, rather than prolong the inevitable.

| By profound I meant the answers and explanations given by the YT breeders. I also usually stay away as I have no knowledge or advice to give and don't want to clutter up a thread where the op is getting needed advice. But with all the people coming on thinking about breeding being simple and natural this seemed to be a great learning tool.
