Newborn having trouble - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I just had a puppy born and it's having trouble breathing. I have given it oxygen but that doesn't seem to help. I read a while back that someone had posted that they gave their distressed puppies something to stimulate them. I already know about Nutri-Cal, it was something else. Was it Benedryl? This puppy is only about 2 oz.

I found what I was looking for. It's the liver remedy. I just checked the puppy and she seems to be doing okay so I didn't need the liver remedy after all. I have printed the remedy out and will keep it for future use.

Well, there's Nutri-drops. It's like Nutri-cal but is liquid and gets into their system much faster. It's also more absorbable than Nutri-cal so it does a better job. Is this pup a preemie or just very small? I've never had to deal with one with breathing issues. There's a recipe for a beef liver remedy for fading puppies in the breeder's forum. Why don't you post this thread there and you should get more help in that section.

I am so sorry I am only now seeing your thread. While I have no experience with newborns I would like to offer best wishes and prayer for your pup. Hope all is well.
