I'm so sorry to hear that things have gone so sadly wrong - you were looking forward to your litter so much as well :( .    Sadly, it's something all of us dread.

Do hope everything goes well from now on - fingers crossed for your last baby.

Margot.

thanks
          the vet said it was because they were a
week early.and they had crackles in their longs
they had antibiotics ijections but the last 1 i lost
stated to have fits.
                             i was bottle feeding her she
was doing great then she would got ridget and stop breathing
so i brought her back a few times took her back to the vet
this morning crying my eyes out as sat up all night feeding her every hr
but then it was not fair to keep bring her back alive they said to leave
her their with them and c if they could help her,but i said not to let her
suffer trying to dry my eyes, so they phoned me after 3 to say she had
2 fits and that she just passed away a leased i tryed my best to help her. but no more pain thanx   sharon

Oh sharon, so sorry, unfortunately its something we all dread.  I hope mum and the pup are now doing ok. Try and get some sleep

Sharon,

I am so very sorry to read what's happened :(   I know you were really excited, nervous, full of anticipation - all the things any of us are, especially with a first litter and you must be so upset and worried about the little surviving puppy.  I hope she and mum are doing well - look after yourself too, this has been a trauma for you all.

Best wishes and sending {{hugs}}
Teri x

Just want to say so sorry - it must be heart breaking for you. Give your girl lots of TLC X

Very sorry to hear you sad news.

So very sorry to hear your sad news, we lost 4 pups at Christmas from our litter, it's really heart breaking isn't it! 

Good luck with mum and her baby!

So sorry I sort of know how you feel. My dog had 2 pups by section both born dead. It was really hard it must of been even harder if wed built a bond and lost them after. Hope the last 1 does ok. Its great you intend to keep her.

Great news Sharon,

"Tia" is a lovely name - and I can tell already that she's going to be a very precious pup in your life.

Keep us posted on her progress and give the proud mum a gentle tickle under the chin from me ;)

Regards, Teri

The same thing has just happened to us when we took Fern to the vets on Thursday evening. She started panting and digging from 2 am on Thursday morning and things didn't seem quite right so we her took the vets and she ended up having a C section straightaway. We lost 6 puppies and only 1 survived. Like you I haven't had much sleep recently as I have  been sleeping downstairs with her since last Saturday. I had to bottle feed the pup on the first night and Fern would only sleep on the settee still zonked out. I  had to put the pup on her to feed but today (Saturday) her maternal instincts have at last kicked in and is now in her whelping box  cuddling and feeding her pup. I do however still have to "toilet" him as Fern won't lick as yet i.e to encourage him to go.We were going to keep a bitch puppy but like you he is staying with us forever.all the best to the three of you and hope every thing turns out OK my thoughts are with you
Debra

Hi Debra,

Gosh you've been through the mill too :(  Poor Fern, I hope she's feeling better soon - it must be such an ordeal for them, particularly when having had to go through a section.  Glad your little guy is doing well - and that he's got his forever home already too.

Gentle {{hugs}} to them both,
and good luck,  Teri :)

hi debra
          im sorry to hear about your loss also it,s really hard on the bitch
and us ,i have tryed to figure out y us. when you think of what happend to
our pets when all the stray dogs have litters all the time and they run about
the streets as their owners don,t care what happens to them then their people
like all of us that love and adore our animal but most time we are left broken hearted.
but we all know that we love and care about our dogs and give them a grate life as their just like our children i suppose that the other people who don,t care will get what they deserve in the end
                    thanx sharon

Yep I felt just the same when we lost ours. All these poor dogs who dont get cared for go on to have a lovely healthy litter of pups who in turn may not get cared for.
Its just a sad fact of life.
All the best to you both.

Fingers crossed all goes well with the little one.

hello
     tia is doing grate today she,s getting very strong i have noticed that her
mum is not giving a lot of milk i noticed it as tia wants to suckle all the time
some of her teats u can get a little others their are none so hear gose another trip
to the vet to c if he can give tasha some thing to give her more milk as tryed to bottle
feed tia but shes not happy at all about the change
well i will just have to keep trying until i see what the vet say,s .
will let you,s all no tomorrow
                                     sharon

Hi the same happened with Fern the vet said keep putting the pup to the middle teats it has worked for us she now has milk and the pup now finds the teat himself hope this helps our boy is gaining weight so I hope he will be OK
Debra

thanks
        debra i will try it out today to see if it works with tasha
but will still take her to the vet in morning to see what she say,s
about it  thanks for your reply,s
                                   sharon& girls
                                             xxxxx

Please keep a very close eye on her, my vet told me not to force the bottle feeding and let them suckle from mum as it would encourage her milk to come in, well it never did and within 3 days we had lost 3 pups!  Persevere with the bottle feeding, once Tia realises it's food she'll enjoy it...........I hand reared 5 of the remaining pups, they all struggled and refused to start, it's a pain staking job, but definitely worth it when they all start gaining weight and getting stronger.

Good luck!

thanx
       sharon i will persevere with her as i have had enough heart ache
to do me a life time .i have also been soringing mind the spelling lol some food also just incase
you never know what happen,s at lease i no she,s getting some milk that way
will let you know in the morning
                                          thanx
                                                sharon

We also lost our only two pups after a c-section recently, I know how you must be feeling, you wonder what you could have done differently,etc. I was very worried about my girl going through surgery as she is high risk being a Mastiff, but thankfully she is absolutely fine. I hope people out there considering breeding their girls, think very carefully about what can go wrong, there is a LOT of heartache out there and sometimes despite our best efforts, pups and (mothers sometimes) die. Its a very sad fact of life......I for one know that after my loss it will be a long long time before I consider raising a litter again if ever :( . Thank goodness that you have one suvivor and I really hope she thrives I am sending positive thoughts and hugs your way! Best of luck :)

Hi Sharon no I don't think I will breed her again we used to breed boxers only had a litter to keep 1 ourselves the last litter we had was 12 years ago and the pup Pip we kept was a little madam and we decided not to breed her we have another bullmastiff Meg we tried mating her but she was having non of it so we brought Fern so we have waited a long time for these puppies only to have this heartbreak I don't think I could go through it again.

Thats wonderfull news well done and enjoy her.
