*PT Prayers please for a dieing Mother Dog and 6 puppies*

[Aspen and Misty]

Thank you Aly for the advice, I know you help out alot of doggies in need. As of right now I have 13 willing, adult, volenteers who will help take shifts to feed. I have only made 1 anouncement through my church and if the need arisis I think I would be able to find enough to split the puppies into 3 groups daily and give everyone at least a day or two off before starting over again. Also, it would only be 3 weeks at the most if we had to bottle feed (assuming all take to solid food ok). I am very blessed to have people who are willing to help me. If it was just me bottle feeding I think I would die

I will get an adress for you, thank you all so much for helping out, this is more then I could have ever expected. You all are so wonderful. ::hugs::

Forgot to mention - It seems momma is doing alot better. She still isn't eating like we would like but she is moving around more.

A dear friend of mine lost her mother dog after she delivered 9 pups by emergency c-section. Can you imagine 9 newborn pups without a mom to care for them? It was heartbreaking.

They started looking for other dogs in the area that recently had litters to see if they could find surrogate moms for the babies. Of course we all knew this was the best thing for them if it could be done. So 3 went to one labbie mom and 3 more went to another labbie mom and 3 more went to a golden mom. All nine were returned to my friends house at 7 weeks of age. They all survived and are very healthy today.

The nicest part of this story is that all three families of the surrogate mom's were more than happy to help! Perhaps this could be a solution to your problem also.

You have my best thoughts and wishes for a successful ending to this story. I am also hoping that mom pulls through. She has shown a tremendous desire to live to this point and it's probably because of the care you have shown her!

Hi Delido - Mom has gotten sicker. She is having more trouble moving and is bleeding alot. The puppies have all taken well to the bottle but still like it when momma feeds them best. Right now we are only helping out momma and feeding 2-3 babies per feeding.

Hi Ashley,

I am so sorry I haven't been able to keep up with the updates. I'm in the process of moving now and I don't have internet where I'm at.

How is mama and the babies doing? Do you have any updated pictures? If so, email them to me at [email protected].

Please send me the address of the vet as well. I will TRY my hardest to send a donation in helping pay for the bills. I know it's a lot of work, and you are a wonderful person for taking care of them.

LOL, this has to be one of the only times I'm thankful almost everyone in my church is over retierment age! The only downfall to that is they get tierd easily and don't want to take them on for more then one day every couple of days. We can work with that though. I have a found a women who wants to adopt one of the puppies, and works for a rescue in her area to be a bottle feeding mother to any litters who need her. She said she would be willing to take 2 or 3 and bottle feed them till they are compeltly weaned if the need arisis. Which only leaves me and my volenteers with 3 pups. Although, we all know that what people say and what people do are 2 diffrent things and I'm sure I will loose some of my volenteers if the need acctually does arise.

Sorry Delidog, I have been in Flordia on vacation and I havn't had time to update, and there was nothing to update untill last night, and I was just abaout to make a new thread when I saw this one being bumped up so:


UPDATE:

Momma is getting sicker. We are pretty sure these will be her last few days with us. She no longer stands or walks around much. We are having trouble keeping her eating and drinking. Her comfort is the most important thing in this situation so we are making an apointment with our vet today and we are hoping to get her in as soon as possible to be PTS. She is such a lovly girl and my sister says she has never met such a sweet dog, she will be missed dearly.

The puppies are doing really good at eating the "mush" our vet recomended so we think they will do find on the mush and some bottle feeding. They have opened there eyes and have started wagging there tails which is really exiting.

I will keep updateing if there is any news,
Ashley
