SOS!!!! SOS!!!! 6 PB 1 Day Old PUPS!!!OMG :( - Page 3

Updates? jh

This by far is the worst thread I've ever seen. Would love to string the bastard up who would do such a cruel thing.
Can't think straight right now. If there's anything possible I can do, please please let me know. I'm west of Chicago.
So distance sucks. Please keep updating. Lord help us.

where were these pups located at?


i have a mother with pups right now, my pups just turn 4 weeks so will start them on puppy food.

i have a very good mother.  

i guess we cant do much if they are not there any more.

Find a vet reproduction specilist and learn to tube feed.
Its much safer and quicker than bottle feeding.

Goat's milk is good for a supplement......but not replacer...........
Puppies who are fed 100% replacer need esbilac or another replacer.
Puppies on 100% Goats' milk, even with egg and sugar......tend to develope early cataracts. (see leerburg.com).

What the hell is wrong with people? I just cannot understand why someone would do such a thing, unless the mama died.

My friend hasnt heard back from them..If they were there, they would no longer be alive..

Trixx, thank you for the offer- there are so many GOOD people here... If I can get any answers, I will  post them.

I would like to help. I live in Connecticut and have Goats milk available.
A good friend of mine is a vet and will be able to help me any way he can.
please let me know if you need me.

Kind regards,

Ron

so sad

Sounds like, in addition to having a network for rescue dogs....we also need a network for rescued puppies of a very young age. 

I currently don't have the facilities to take on a mother with her pups, nor do I have the facilities to manage a litter of puppies older than 6 weeks old (depending on size/number of pups, if they're mastiffs then 5 weeks is my cut-off, if they're chihuahuas then I could probably keep them til 8 weeks) 

however, like I mentioned previously, I am available to bottle/tube feed puppies until they are out of the woods and able to eat mush.  

I haven't done so yet, but I should get a pump and some sterile containers for collecting and freezing colostrum to keep on hand...good idea for anyone else here too (who has access to whelping/nursing dams.) 

I'm moving to Mt. Vernon, Ohio in a few months and planning to build a whelping kennel, so perhaps next year I'll be able to foster a dam with pups too.
