🚨ANNOUNCEMENT🚨 Firstly, I want to express my absolute appreciation for all of the well wishes, prayers, and good vibes sent to my FeeFee on her delivery! I don’t post a lot of the bad times because I know it can be a trigger for some people and I don’t want to bring others down. I do have some fur parents that are now friends that I share things with when the times get tough and I am so thankful for them as well. These past few days have been a roller coaster. FeeFee did successfully deliver her 4 beautiful babies Saturday. One was underdeveloped and was born stillborn. Another faded quickly after birth and didn’t make it. The two remaining girls were doing great and then one started to fade. Over the past few days, I have been giving her around the clock care. I have been alternating between tube feeding and supervised nursing when she has the energy to nurse. It’s definitely an uphill battle. She hasn’t gained much weight, but she hasn’t lost any either. On top of all this, Mommy’s little ni***es didn’t swell to a decent size for the babies to latch on properly. I will speak more about that in a moment.
I am very vigilant when my girls are in their heat season keeping them away from the rest of my pack and I have been lucky enough to be able to control who mates with who and preventing unplanned pregnancies, but I am human and I make mistakes sometimes. The most recent mistake resulted in the unplanned pregnancy of Karmela, one of my Yorkie girls whose 1st pregnancy wasn’t planned until the end of the year. I had her and FeeFee separated together and brought Pablo in to do an artificial insemination with him and FeeFee. My phone rang and before I could even hang up, Pablo had latched with Karmela instead. I thought it didn’t take and she was in the clear, but in the last week she developed a little belly and it was clear that she was pregnant. I calculated her due date to be June 15th.
While I was busy trying to help FeeFee’s babies nurse Saturday night, Karmela delivered one beautiful Chocolate baby girl on her own. Had I been by her side, the baby would have made it, but Karmela couldn’t get her baby completely out of the amniotic sack and she didn’t make it. Needless to say, I was absolutely horrified and guilt stricken for not being there for her, but she is doing great considering.
Now for the most unexpected and ironic part of the story. On one hand I have FeeFee who is struggling to feed her babies and on the other hand I have Karmela who has milk and no babies when she wasn’t supposed to have either one yet!
You have probably figured out by now that Karmela is now being a surrogate for FeeFee’s 2 girls! She doesn’t have to stay with them full time, I just bring her in for feedings. She is being the most patient little stand in Mommy for them and I am just overcome with emotion and absolute shock over all that has and is transpiring. I am grieving for the lost baby girls and trying to save the two that lived at the same time. I simply cannot lose either of them!
This is definitely an uphill battle and I will update as best I can! This goes to show that no matter how experienced a person is, there are still extenuating circumstances sometimes and no one knows it all. I for one am still learning as I go. Please no negative comments. There’s nothing you can say that I haven’t already said to myself! 🙏😢🕊️
