sending snuggles good wishes for the little puppy.
i had this with a litter of mine 3 weeks ago,
sadley one of my little puppies did not make it
, as it had a cleft palate, she could'nt even take mums first milk, i did sit up all night to hand feed her, to no avail, she lost weight, and became too weak, its the most hardest, but also kindest thing that i could have done, was to have her pts. it never gets any easier, i can assure you.
the vet came out to me, as puppy and mum was gettting distressed, and the vet had only given her less than 10 % survival, even before they could have opereated,( which vet said was'nt and option
) ( they would have had to rehydrate her ),but was two weak to stand this, even if she had been strong enough, there was so many other pitfalls too, like fluid on lungs, ect, ect.
to hear a puppy cry , because it is so hungry is awful and will stay with me for life,
sometimes you can't always help them, even though you try everything, for my little puppy the best thing for her was to pts.
she was a good birth weight of 8.2 oz, but in less than 24 hours had gone down to just under 6 0z.
so sending all my love and best wishes, that your little puppy makes it. she obviously a little fighter. sending big hugs to your little one.
