Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="339.331ac9b_alt_bound" --339.331ac9b_alt_bound Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Thanks everyone for your great suggestions and encouragement with my friends single c sec puppy. I forwarded all of your thoughts to her !! Well he made it through the first 24 hours. My friend Katie tube fed him, kept him warm and made him pee and poop. There were a few scary moments during the night when they thought they might lose him. He was very congested but he is doing much better this morning. If anyone goes out to buy a heating pad for pups make sure you get the old fashioned kind! Do not get the Auto shut off one. The biggest worry during the night was Katie had to keep waking up to check on the heating pad, as it would shut itself off when it got up to temp. Anyway I sure hope they still make the good old fashioned kind, as mine is about 25 years old so I will need to replace it soon. Katie is still tube feeding. The pup did get to nurse some from his mom so he did get some colostrum. Katie also has another mom just coming off of a 7 week old litter that is on call to take over just in case his mom's maternal instincts do not kick in. Thanks again everyone and have a Great weekend!!
