Yep, no brendle in this lot. Pups & Mama is fine. Mama loves her babies....boys in the house are treading on thin ice. \:D/ A little dissapointed there is no brendle, but glad they are all alive & well. Thought we were going to loose the second one. He was having trouble taking his first breath. He turned blue. We just kept massaging him behind front let. Finally he changed color & started breathing . We are soooo greatful. I'll keep ya entertained with pic's for awhile
No Boyda, they are not all spoken. Only one. I haven't even started advertising them yet. Gonna kill us to let them go.
Congrats!!!
Please keep us posted Diane :-bd

The last one is a male Leslie. This is #8. Notice a dark spot above right eye, then a dark streak above left eye...like mascara. This is a female.
ha. There are only 7 puppy's. I do have 8 pic's. Now how did that happen? Guess I have two pic's of same dog. I don't know. lol

I must ask you you a question: Are you bottle feeding this litter? The reason I ask is because 9 out of 10 times a puppy that is crying too often or showing any signs of distress due to health or sickness will be eliminated by the mother especially in the Bull Terrier breed. A crying puppy would quickly stress the momma and she'd be picking it up with her mouth and trying to take her out of the whelping box. Unless she's an extremely good momma and pays no attention to the cries from the one puppy which I've never seen from any whelping BT mother.
It does sound as though the puppy was born with a neurological problem. However, if he lives past 2 weeks of age it would mean that he has the capability to cope with the ailment. His balance and coordination may be off but he would learn to use his hind legs. I'd say he's got about a 50/50 chance of survival and in a couple weeks you should start to see him use his hind legs more. Assuming you're bottle feeding him, is he drinking enough fluids and able to urinate and defecate without any problems?
I wish I was there to help you out with him. Please keep us updated on his status.

I am not bottle feeding. Willie is feeding them. The puppy does urinate and defecate without problems. As a matter of fact yesterday when I was letting Willie clean her puppy's I kept putting this female in front of her (because he is so soiled) to clean. Willie kept stretching out for a different pup. She will not clean him. And, yes, once she picked him up with her mouth, so I put the muzzel on her. I think she knows there is something wrong with the pup.
What you said is encouraging. To say he would slowly learn to use his hind legs, because right now it does not appear so. We are going to give him time, see what happens. Thanks to everyone.
In all actually Willie is being a real good momma. You may not think so because she isn't caring for that one puppy but technically she's probably already written him off and doesn't feel the need to kill him herself. Unfortunately many BT mommas would have eaten him whole as soon as they sensed something wrong with him. I'm sure you've heard about others who lost entire litters because the momma stressed and ate all her puppies. Now you know why many breeders who don't devote to hand raising puppies when needed often don't announce the birth of their litters until they are about 2 weeks of age at which time they may only be claiming to have had 3 or 4 puppies born.

I recommend buying some of the puppy formula made by GNC. It's very good and provides everything he needs. Bottle feeding him will also allow you to keep track of the volume of food he's consuming. Your puppy has already received the colostrum he needs from Willie who is no longer producing colostrum.
By the way, having a litter of puppies (especially 7) in only 2 hours is VERY fast. I've had to wait longer than that in between puppies. Sounds like Willie is being a great momma.

Soapskid, I received your message dated 11/15, and did respond. I also sent my personal contact info. Don't know how else to reach out to you. Puppy's are available, all but one.
