Esbilac for puppies & KMR for kittens is WORTH the extra $$.

Discovery last night: PetLac is made from cow's milk and is thinner. Many puppies can NOT tolerate cows milk. The thinner formula causes my puppies to aspirated some milk even in new slow flow ni***es.

Had 2 "fading puppies" yesterday. Listless, not eating- tube fed but one vomiting PetLac. I switched to Esbilac and after 2 feedings both fading puppies have perked up. (had less than half a can Esbilac on hand -was given 2 cans of PetLac which is why I use PetLac)

I am not sure how I missed this in ALL my research & a couple trips to the vet. Both puppies I took to vet were said to be fine just malnourished. I have lost several puppies and entire litters to fading slowly one at a time - NONE of the "fading puppy" guidelines have helped.

I pray I found the answer to saving more puppies in my care. My heart string can not take much more. All the lost sleep is worth it when the puppies live.

Looking to SUPPORT and CONNECT with RESCUE GROUPS and VOLUNTERS FOR ANIMALS.

As a volunteer, I see the need for more support. So, I will start adding things here. If you need or want to provide support post here. If you know a support group or rescue or other tag them here. I will post helpful info here and accept the same from others.

Rescue groups rehome animals among many other wonderful things. I am looking to connect all the groups together so we can each do our part and support each other. Hope this helps us all.

Volunteers are vital to allowing rescues to support more animals. You can always donate goods or money, however, giving your time would be helpful. If you are bottle feeding or have experience follow here.

Volunters needed for Feeding, housing, kind words, transportation, adult fosters, trainers, walkers, supplies, and other ways.

This is why I do this. Our pets deserve a chance at a good life. It is too much for one to do alone.

This kitten was brought to me after it's 2 litter mates died due to an issue with mom. The litter was found wild on someone's property. Let lady tried to reach out for help, but was turned down due to too many cats and it needing bottle feed. Eyes infected and very skinny. Seems to have a will to want to live. He has a home when he is weaned. Some people have tried to bottle feed, run into issues and give up. If that is you let me or others help you to learn and be confident in your abilities. Main thing is remember, these babies will for sure die without a volunteer to feed them. I make mistakes, often it just was not meant to be, but I will try. However, I can not do this alone.

Again, just looking to provide support and connect.

This little girl changed my world. Taylor is doing so good now, better than ever expected. She is living a "normal" life now. She eats regular dog/puppy food and drinks water from a regular bowl. Is now 6lbs and full of LOVE and LIFE in her furever home.

lf you followed her story she would have died had I not learned how to tube feed a newborn puppy. She would have died had several (too many) newborn puppies before her not already died in my care making me determined to seek knowledge and support. I say this because I now realize where that journey was taking me. I live in Polk County Texas where not much is open after 5pm or on weekends. We have NO emergency vet nearby, paying for the emergency vet is NOT practical for most of us even if we did drive that hour plus to the nearest one. Even if you can the money, most vets do not care for or have much experience in newborn pups. Most with issues are euthanized becauae of the expense, lackbof knowledge, and abundance of unwanted pups/dogs in our area. Still, I have heart to help any animal I can. That being said, I do not have the means to save them all. (Financially or time wise). I am committed to doing my part. WITH YOUR HELP, Together we can make a difference for as many as we can.

THIS PAGE WILL NOW PROVIDE SUPPORT in the form of knowledge and connections to as many as we can.

Received 5 more puppies yesterday appears about a week old-eyes still closed.

Also, my last litter of 9 has only 3 that survived but doing very well. Eyes opened on Sunday. One turning from black to chocolate coat.

Got 2 older ones about a week ago that are eating soft foods and playing so about 4 wks old now i would guess.

And our success story Taylor has learned to bark. Now 10 weeks old and no neurological defects noted while on omeprezole.

One tired but HAPPY foster here...

9 new born puppies in this litter needing bottle feed.

Umbilical cord still on all of them. One cord is still very moist. So, they are less than a day old. Story we got was they were dumped and left to die. My gues by markings and size, lab mix pups. For now the are ALL fed and sleeping. However, another sleepless night ahead of me. 8 girls, 1 boy. 7 black with small white on chest and 2 brown bear colors.
This may be alittle selfish of me... I always pray for the pups to make it and do everything I can to make that happen, but this time I pray for more -- praying for an easy and healthy litter as my last few have been such a challenge with too many losses. Getting them this young puts them at a higher risk from the start.

My broken heart needs some success stories to fill it back up.

Look who finally made 1 pound weight class. GO TAYLOR!

She is 8 1/2 wks old. She drinks from the hamster bottle, eats fresh pet cubed, trained herself to use potty pad, plays more hours than sleeps during the day. Cleft palate and hydrocephalus can't stop her progress today. Love this baby girl! Praying she continues as a mild case, either way she is already a successful story as she is living life as a happy puppy.

New litter born yesterday with a mom unwilling to care for them, so, I will do my best as always. 4 boys and 2 girls I think. Will be up most of the night feeding....

Love them already

Taylor is now 8 wks old.

She is now able to drink water from a hamster water bottle with few sneezing fits as it only puts out a amall amount of water per lick. This is huge for her!
