denSnorkle died. Bugger.
The zoovets did everything they could and he still died. They asked everyone they could get hold of and the prognosis for puggles under 150g is very poor. Snorkle weighed 90g when I got him. Dr Ben did a post mortem but there was nothing wrong as such, just everything was very immature. He said the first person to raise a puggle this small will be writing the book on How To Raise Tiny Puggles, because there is nothing out there now.
poop.

Date: 25 Oct 2007 07:13 (UTC)Den, I'm sure you did all you could to keep Pugles alive, so don't feel too badly about it.
After all, this is uncharted territory as far as human-raised puggles go.
Who knows? You still might be the one who writes that book...

I still reckon you're the Puggle Master.

Date: 25 Oct 2007 15:13 (UTC)I never mentioned how much I love everything you do for these animals. You've really opened my mind and my heart to critters I never would have considered before.

Date: 26 Oct 2007 06:58 (UTC)You should keep a journal of everything you tried. By the time you successfully raise one, you'll have your book.
I had a thought about how you can try to feed the next one?
Ask the zoovet if they can somehow get you a balloon catheter. Poke some tiny holes in it, then tape it to the flat part of your forearm. Place the puggle on your forearm, then wrap it with a warm towel.
Invert your arm so the puggle is held upside-down, then slowly press the plunger on a syringe filled with puggle milk (equivalent).
I figure if you can find a way to mimic the action of milk being secreted through skin, you'll have it.
