I'll pick up the just born tomorrow but do you know what vitamin drops to use instead of the vi-faylin? I found d-vi-sol and poly-vi-sol.
Oh and the burps are the cutest!!!
Couple other questions how often should I feed her? And does she need to be drinking a whole lot since she is getting the formula? She is drinking just not a lot.
Thank you so so much!!!!!!!!!

She needs to eat at least every 3 hours & as far as water, keep it down for her to drink when she wants but she should be getting plenty from the formula. You can give her water in small amounts like 1/2 a dropper full but don't over do it or you'll drown out all the nutrients that you are getting in her. Praying for success with this baby & looking forward to hearing that she's getting stronger by the day.

Had to go to 24 hour emergency vet. Baby is lethargic and pulling head back. They are keeping her until morning on IV's. Said she was severely anemic and basically 0 blood sugar.
Vet said there is some underlying issue as to her blood sugar dropping. Basically he said she has no immune system and "some puppies just aren't meant to make it"
So pray she makes it thru the night!!!!

I'm so sorry to hear about what you are going through. I'm thinking of you and the poor puppy. I pray that the puppy pulls through. Let us know how everything goes. You are an angel for doing everything you can to save the puppies life. I'm sure your grandma appreciates it too because it is sad having a very sick puppy.

Well bad news!!
Baby Lizzy made it at the ER and to my vet. However my vet says he believes she is 10 weeks old because of her teeth. However she has the soft spot on her head that hasn't closed, and believes she is having severe liver problems. Either the liver shunt issue or deformed liver. This has caused her stunted growth he believes.
Unfortunately she is currently under 1lb and he doesn't think she could make it through surgery
Thank you all SO SO much for your help. She is home with me know but as soon as she starts going back downhill I'm going to have to take her back to be put down. Our family is so sad but honestly after caring for her myself she wasn't functioning at all

I am praying that lil Lizzy can beat this. But know, you have done all you can to help this baby, she is in GODs hands now (((hugs)))

This is the kind of event that absolutely infuriates me!!

Your poor momma bought a puppy and this is what she was sold....a heartache looking for a place to happen....and that does not even address the poor unfortunate puppy. You all did all you could do....if this had been a healthy baby, you would have had a chance....you did the absolute best you could do with the hand you were dealt.

I cant remember the circumstances that led to your momma getting this poor unfortunate baby.....who she got it from, where she got it from....you need to address this with the person that is responsible for producing this innocent, sick little baby. This is the ultimate inhumane thing a "breeder" can do....First: charge blindly into breeding when they obviously do not know what they are doing.....Second: Pam a sick/dying baby off on a person that is all excited and in love with this innocent little bundle of puppiness, only to watch it die, much wasted time, effort, and money spent, trying to save its precious little life.... While THEY do not know it and probably do not even care, God has a very special place for these thieves...(and that is all they are)....thieves that steal the lives of innocent babies, thieves that rob people of $$$, peddling sick puppies to unsuspecting buyers, thieves that rob people of the joy in their hearts when this little precious baby dies on them......

Contact the breeder....try to make this right for your momma and the precious, innocent little baby thrown into this situation.

Thank you all so much!! I so greatful that I got on this message board. You all were right!! Everyone was helpful!!!!
We lost a tiny little baby who never had a chance and Yorkiemom1 couldn't be more right about this so called "breeder".
Hopefully IF or when my Gma decides to get a Yorkie she will let me help find a breeder OR adopt a Yorkie from a rescue.
Again THANK YOU ALL!!!
I also tried to post a picture of Lizzy but the file was too big

Such a sad event and you did all you could why can't people just leave breeding to the experts instead of just trying to make money, your poor family having to go through all of this and the poor little mite of a puppy with no chance, how ver sad.

[MeggieNRoxie]

I am so, so sorry. I, too, had a sick puppy and had to deal with the heartbreak and helpless feeling of watching her fade while the vet bills piled up. I am sure she felt your grandma's love in the short time she spent with her. You did everything you could!

Go confront the breeder she got her from. And if you can't come to an agreement or whatever, post every single thing you know about them (description, where they are located, what they drove if they delivered, name, phone number, EVERY SINGLE THING that someone else could use to recognize this person before they walk blindly into the same trap) on Craigslist or in the paper. Don't just brush it under the rug and move on. That's what they expect you to do and it enables them to continue breeding and breaking people's hearts for money. Don't make it easy on them. That's just my thoughts on it. I'm so sorry for your and your grandmas heartache over this little angel.
