Q: News On My Dog......

Chloe died. A few hours after we got home from the vet, she had a seizure type thing. Then she just died. Pretty much everyone was hysterical. That dog meant so much to us. Even my friends chris and falishia cried. Even larry teared up. I feel better but i'm still really upset. We have beenpumping my milk and giving it to them in an eye dropper like the vet said we could. It's gonna be hard but i'm determined these pups will survive. I even had to let the boys nurse off me because they wouldn't eat from the dropper. I know its weird but i'm gonna do whatever it takes....

Well as you all know my dog had already delivered one stillborn.....We took her to a vet yesterday who was really nice and worked out a payment plan with us......It costed 1200 dollars. Well she had 4 more pups, 1 was dead inside her. She originally had 3 boys and 2 girls, but onbly 2 boys and one girl are alive. The girl is whisper because she wasn't doing too well when she was born, and was real quiet. The boys are toby and clover.....Clover looks just like chloe. Whisper is doing better but she's still weak.

Thanks for the prayers.....At least the pups are alright. Larry took chloe's body to the vet this morning so he could figure out what went wrong. It almost look like she was having a seizure.....But I at least got to be right there with her when she died. Crying or Very sad I will let you all know what happened soon, but I will probably be on a lot less because I have 4 babies to take care of now. But anyone feel free to call me.

Im so sorry to hear that chrissy! But you should really try to get them to nurse of the dropper cuz you can get something called mastitis from lettin them nurse off you, not to mention what the puppys could transer to little josh... Bacteria, viruses and worms... I totally understand how you will do whatever you can to help them puppies survive but is it worth gettin josh sick? When me and my mom first moved out to the farm, we found a litter of kittens that were abandoned and we had to feed them with droppers and we didnt think any of them would survive, but all 5 kittens survived and now one of them is like my best friend... I have faith that those puppies will survive, if they wont drink of the dropper open their mouth and stick it in, they just need to learn thats where their food is gonna be coming from, not a nipple...

Thanks you guys....Lilmama2be I didnt know you could get mastitus from pups.....I made sure to clean my nipples with peroxide to kill germs but we tried to open their mouths and they just wouldn't do it. Larry went to buy some special doggy bottles.....They are tiny and 5 bucks a piece. They cost more than josh's bottles! But it's well worth it. And they are going to get some doggy formula type thing so that I don't have to keep feeding them. But thanks for the sympathy. It's gonna be tough without her but we'll make it. Sad I will try and post pics of the pups sometime soon.

Aww... Well I wish you the best.. Im sorry about your dog. .But each little pup carry's a big peice of her with them! R u planning on keepin them? Or at least one? I would wanna keep one at least.. And thats so sweet that u would let them feed off u! I mean im sure its not exactly dangerous.. But I really dont know about breastfeeding dogs and a baby.. Because when they suck.. Any germs, from the sucking motion could actually get inside you ya know? I doubt their too germy, but I mean , babys are sensitive. .So I would try to get them to do anything else if possible. Either way im so happy the pups lived and im so sorry of ur loss!!! Crying or Very sad
