Bless his little heart, I am so so pleased for you. Onward and upward now for this precious little man.

Rebanne I am so pleased that he has had a good feed, hopefully onward and upward from now on with this prei tcious little boy. I understand that he could not latch on to his Mum and initially the teat on a bottle, nor could my little girl to start with, but the sponge goes right back and they suck it to try and get rid of it and then they find there is milk and then the sucking action kicks in. Hopefully he now continues sucking on the bottle, would try him on his Mum when you are more wide awake if that is ever a possibility when rearing a litter.

I hand reared a singleton puppy last year doing the sponge feeding, it is absolutely brilliant, her Mother did not want anything to do with her right from the start, came home with colostrum and went to songe feeding. I would get the latex free sponges and try him with this method, my little girl was going backward, once feeding her with the sponge she came really good and never looked back. You can google sponge feeding on you tube, so easy so safe and less invasive than the tube.

Not even on international travel do they have a "resident" vet, they have no way of getting to the cargo area where the dogs are. Never heard of it here either, having shipped puppies and dogs, they are put in the cargo and that is where they stay until they reach their destination Agree with dogsfevr , I too would say definitely not true.

Diva the OP said that his bloods had been checked twice and came back all fine. OP I would leave off with the probiotics and yoghurt for the time being. I usually feed dogs with these issues with just chicken and rice making sure that I the starch water from the rice is a part of the meal.

Thank you MRB I thought that it was the same person. This person has me puzzled, after all the info that was given to him before, he comes back with the same question.

Am I mistaken but didn't you start a thread with exactly the same wording not so long ago? I suggested Hungarian Vizla and one puppy at the time. I stand to be corrected.

Welcome to the world beautiful babies. So what do you have in regards to girls and boys?

So glad that it is all over, it is just so stressful when a bitch has to have c section for the babies, with my breed it is c sections, but to find that dear Phoebe had a problem and had to be speyed, maybe the c section was worth having as if she had them naturally it could have been not so good an outcome as you would not have known about the stress part in the uterus. So sorry to hear that one little angel had to go because of the cleft palate. Lovely even litter two of each, this answers a question I asked in the other thread.

That Phoebe be delivered safely of her babies, hopefully you will get a response from your vet sooner rather than later. Couldn't the repro vet have done the c section himself? mine does. This is a precious cargo she has on board.

All the best with Phoebe and her precious cargo, hope that we soon will have some beautiful Greyhound babies.

Congratulations on the arrival of those gorgeous babies. For the two precious little girls.

How gorgeous are they, thank you for posting this beautiful photo.

Rebanne, poor Phoebe looks like she is totally over it, hopefully she will have them soon.

Looking forward to Miss Em's imminent arrival of beautiful babies, hopefully we will have some good news in the morning.

To the new babies arriving at Appleisle and Jack of Hearts. When you have time, that will not be for a while, we would love to see some photos of the Cocker and Jack Russell babies.

Love it.

I would like to know if a puppy I bred ended up on Gumtree.

I thought those photos of Jeun were my Tosca the Italian Greyhound the bump is the same, who knows what monster is hiding under there. the photo with just the feet hanging out, hope she did not get chill blains.

I agree with Marg, leave her be bless her, too bigger risk.

I do not thing much of Jonah's chances with that big hulk of a bull.

OMG poor Em, no wonder it felt like a party going on when you were giving her cuddles, hoping all goes well for her and her beautiful babies. Yep I think the vet is playing safe, they always do.

Thank God she had her wonderful dog to protect her and the dog's instinct that knew that all was not well with this parasite.

To you on the loss of that most handsome boy, Shibas' are beautiful dogs. Loki fly free with the angels to the and be young again.
