My Tiny Treasures Donating Member | Update Well after last nights post (around midnight) I set my alarm for 3am for her next feeding. Well I ended up sleeping thru it and didn't wake up until almost 6am! Well, she ate real good then! I took today off of work, layed back down and got up about 10 and fed her again and she did kinda well. Then I just gave her more just now. I have better luck when she falls to sleep with it in her mouth cuz I'll wake her up and she goes into a mad rush of sucking. So thats what I've been trying to do. Could I be trying to feed her too much? Mon - Fri I'm at work. She gets a feeding at 7:30am, 12:30pm, and 5:30pm and then I try to do it every 2-3 hours when I'm home, until I go to work again. She's sooo skinny that I think I need to feed her all the time. What do you think? Her energy level is still up, but her weight has went down a bit. Oh she pooped this morning. That made me feel better. No luck with her eating on her own. I keep a tiny dish in with her of hard food and formula. Every now and then I see where to took a couple licks of the formula. You can tell becasue it gets thick when it sits and you can see a tiny lick. I only put a thin layer in the bowl. I haven't tried Might Dog or Ceasers, but I will buy some and try it. (the others aren't even eating yet) I just need her to eat good and gain weight!!!!! I won't give up....but I will say I had myself a very good cry last night. Thanks for everything, I appreciate you listening to me and helping me! |

| .......Ahhhhhhhhhhhh gosh ladies, you are making us blush! What a nice thing to say......thank you! Breny is doing a great job isnt she!!!! She needs the encouragement and its so nice to see someone giving it to her. Since you are watching this thread when it doesnt even benefit you...........hummmmmmmmmm I wonder who has the big hearts?.........lol Breny..............experience speaks for itsself, if she eats better at longer intervals and she doesnt act weak, try it for a day. Im certainly no expert, but by the time you puppy is zooming around the house, squeeking or talking to you like a munchkin, and you are not having to watch every feeding........you will be the expert! You are doing a wonderful job. Hear the angels singing? SHe is a beautiful lil puppy and her imperfections make her all the more desirable. We all are on your team! |

My Tiny Treasures Donating Member | I deffinatley need all the help, prayers, and encourgaement I can get! I thank everyone for that. Well, she did eat better today, although she's skin and bones. She's most happy when I let her run loose in the room. I let her do that since she's seperated from her siblings. I tell her she has to pee first on her pad before soming out....she don't always listen though Still not eating. I didn't get the chance to try the other food but I found some puppy pro plan in the cupboard and tried that. She gave it three licks. The soft food makes her sputter real bad and sneeze. But that was all she tried and was finished with that. So its back to the bottle. Sunday is 6 weeks. I can't beleive how TINY she is. I don't notice it until I look at the others and WOW I can't help but smile when me and her mom are on the floor with her, and she chooses me to come to. I'd be completely devestated if anything were to go wrong at this point. I understand you've had a couple Cleft's? How many have you lost and at what age were they? |

My Tiny Treasures Donating Member | Sleeping She's sleeping soundly with her siblings right now and I couldn't resist taking another pic to post to show how much smaller she is. The pictures really don't even show it as real as it really is! |

My Tiny Treasures Donating Member | Saturdays update Well I got up this morning and got the bottle ready like I always do and opened the door to the puppy room, and looked in Tia's box and no Tia! She had managed to crawl up her stuffed puppy and climb out. And its a Tall box! So I'm thinking she had to have had a hard fall. She was laying sleeping all by herself in Zoey's bed! She was fine the little bugger. Eating "ok". Nothing overly exciting in that are and still won't eat on her own. Still skinny skinny. I hate seeing her so skinny!!!!! |

| She is a feisty little girl, isn't she - rawling out of that box. Guess she has a mind of her own. She's got to be getting enough nourishment to have that much strength. Maybe she is just going to be a tiny, petite little girl. I looked like an Ethiopian Poster Child growing up, I was so scrawney and boney. Wouldn't know it now. You are doing a great job, Breny. Hugs and prayers from all of us to all of you. Keep up the good work. |

| Hi Breny, Haha..........well Tia has energy! Crawling out of her box the lil monkey! She must be getting enough food to not only sustain her but give energy to climb too. The other babies in the past died within a few days, their clefts were all in the back like Tias and very large, extending almost the entire width of the mouth in the very back. I didnt know this until they died and I was able to see to the very back. You know how small their mouths are, and how unbelievably strong their lil jaws are, so I couldnt see the extent of the cleft until later. I didnt want to pull & force their mouths open. So very sad. They didnt have the will like Joker either. So consider Tia a lil miracle for sure. I certainly do Joker. Your on the downhill slide! Keep up the good work. |

My Tiny Treasures Donating Member | yes she deffinatley has energy I just tried to feed her....she didn't want to eat so I let her down on the floor and she had a wrestling match with her mom Zoey and they crawled up in Zoeys bed (by herself) and is sleeping there now by herself. Her eating worries me and now her little tail bones are sticking out. Any suggestion on anything I could add to her formula to increase her weight? I'm already adding Nutrical. And of course, she still isn't eating on her own. I also wanted to say thanks to everyone following our Thread. I appreciate all your support!!!! I need all I can get and having everyone to talk to helps me so much! |

| She is so sweet! Don't you just want to hold her and cuddle her and never put her down? I wish I could help, but I don't have a clue what to do in this case. You're doing such a great job Breny. You should be proud. |
