Any word on the baby??
Emily, where are you in Michigan? I am in Ann Arbor. If you are anywhere remotely in this vicinity I will take you to the emergency vet I've used in the past. Perhaps there is some other way I can help. I will PM you my phone number. Please call me if there is something I can do.

I know I haven't replied to this post before, but I want everyone to know That I am constantly praying for this little one to pull thru.
So, Let's keep praying and bumping it up!!!
Bump
I pray that no news is good news.
Prayers and positive thoughts still on the way for this precious baby.
This is the first I come back to check the board. Since all sweet RB babies need a name, Kewpie didnt make it. I soon realized my denial and wished I had seen it sooner. The night before she went to the vet she was having seizures. I had noticed her stomache was quite round (like a healthy fat baby) but obviously she was not. Instead of recieving fluids, I should have let her go. The vet seemed to think there was hope since she was a fighter, but he was rather quick in his exam and probably didnt look close enough. I think her kidneys were were already shut down. So more fluids only pushed her farther. That day she also was not as responsive and barely woke up at all, the times she did is was to cry a little. I can't describe this loss and I feel a lot of guilt over it too. Im having a hard time.
I named her Kewpie, because the night she came home from the vet she had a perfect swirl on top of her head (from karo syrup) It was so cute. I hadnt taken any individual pictures of her unti she was alreay quite ill. So these are hard for me to see, knowing she was so sick. Here she is with her mom. Hopefully her and Peewee are together again.

I just got home and was going to ask how the li'l sweetie pie was doing when I read your post. Listen: you're not a vet. You did the best you could. You had your hands full w/trying to save her and keep the others alive and Mom happy, etc. I know you feel cuz we all here at PT do, too, and it's far worse for you. But please don't punish yourself. You cared enough to try and it was exhausting. Kewpie is now warm and snuggly and totally well at the RB. And when she greets you on that fine day, she'll be the first to let you know that she loves you and appreciates all that you did for her. Take heart that her suffering is over.
Blessings,
Mary
P.S. Her markings were/are just like my Puddy's. She was a fighter just like the Pudilator and she tried hard, too. But she was sick. And very tired. But now she's at peace.
Oh, Emily - what a relief to hear from you. If her kidneys had shut down as they did, there was nothing anyone could do.
What a sweet little face! And lovely pics of her furmom hugging her.
So sad. But do you remember the story of the Peas? SweetPea was pregnant at 7 months of age, because of a stupid owner. She had 5 beautiful kittens...and 4 died. It was incredibly heartbreaking for all of us...
But that one little boy, PeaPod, thrived and grew fat and had chubby froggy legs and was just a love! Now he and his mom are in a wonderful furrever home.
I hope the two remaining kittens will help replace the sadness in your heart with joy. And Snow has become a wonderful mommy, eevn bringing her sick baby over to you.
In the grief, Emily, there is SO much love - for you here at PT and with your furbabies.
It's ok, hon....it's gonna be just fine.
{{{{hugs}}}}
I'm SO sorry to hear about those precious babies. You did a wonderful job and should be very proud.
RIP sweet babies. :( :(
I had been checking in all day to hear what happened...I am so sorry to hear the Kewpie didn't make it. She was a beautiful little girl......
(((HUGS))) to you. You tried very hard for her, and she knows that....
Bless you for giving that baby every chance. It is such a sad fact that all can't be saved. Our prayers are with you.
You did the best you could. She knew love, and that's much better than never knowing it and passing alone.
Thank you for caring for them.
Godspeed, sweet Kewpie, you will get to grow up big and strong at the Rainbow Bridge.
Dear Emily, I am so very sorry. You and Kewpie both worked so hard. God bless you both. What a lovely, dear little girl. All the love you poured on her will live on.
Hugs,
Pat
I'm so sorry. This sounds so painful. But I'm glad you were there to give her love. Thank you for doing what you could. Play hard at the bridge little Kewpie.
