Oh, I'm so glad you came back on. This site is going to be very helpful to you and your Mom. I am glad that she will have some help in this. How very sweet of you. Remember to never let them catch a chill or give them cold formula. I'm sure the vet explained the formula and stimulating necessities. Gosh, it is going to be a hard couple of weeks then things will balance out more. Remember to post with any concerns or share any accomplishments. Actually, every 2 hours that passes with nice healthy pups is a huge accomplishment!

Glad you have everything under control...keep them warm...

under the whelping bed place a heat pad (wrapped in a towel) ON LOW (not inside the bed) and only under half of the bed, also put a small stuffed animal and perhaps a soft wash cloth in so they have something to snuggle with.

there are puppy nipples at the pet store, boil them for an hour to soften them...you can also use a eye dropped but its not as effective and you MUST be careful not to over do it, they can swallow too much and aspirate.

puppies should be fed every 3-4 hours formula as well stimulate with warm damp cotton ball (pee/poo) after feeding also do not feed on their back only upright! Once you know their full tap them lightly on the back like you would a newborn baby to burp.

this might help you

Do you have puppy formula and bottles - bottles with human premie nipples tend work really well. I know alot of people have issues with the ones made for animal babies. It is about 1 ml per ounce of weight spread out for the day. I am not sure how often to feed at this age - every two or three hours I think is a good rule of thumb. Your vet should be able to advise you and I do know you never want to feed them upright - on a firm surface with them on all fours is important. Like I said I am sure someone with more experience will give more advice!! I hope I helped a little and good luck with those babies!!

This is the advice I would have offered - feed every three hours around the clock. I would take feminvstr up on her offer though if at all possible.

I agree. I think it would be worth the trip if she is able to do this for you. It would be much better for the pups in so many ways. Good luck to you.

I am so sorry for your family's loss. I have raised tiny kittens from just a few days old who lost their mom with no clue of what to do, only instinct, but never a puppy. I will keep you and the puppies in my thoughts and prayers. It sounds like they will have a good chance of making it with all the help you are getting from the people with experience here. God Bless you and your babies.

How wonderful it is to log on this morning and see that you came back to update us (too many times, people come here for help/advise, then never come back to update us!). Kimberly and others have given some great advice to you which should help you in caring for those orphaned babies. I know the coming days and weeks will be hectic and busy for you while caring and raising them but please, if you can spare 5 minutes, please update us on their progress! We are all here for our love of yorkies and we are all here for the members in good times and bad. And if you can, we'd love to see pictures

Nothing gets us going like seeing yorkie babies

Will keep all of you updated as time goes on thank you all for your prayers and advice. A special thank you to Kim. I talked to her last night and got some very helpful advice.
