PUPDATE - Despite being consumed by our hectic schedules with house renovations and daily life, I haven’t had the chance to share updates about this incredible little fighter!
Well, I am thrilled to announce that we have achieved the impossible! We have saved this tiny guy, and he is the sole survivor of his five-puppy litter. Batman is a shining example of resilience and strength; he has always been a fighter and has consistently demonstrated an unwavering will to live.
Initially, he was the puppy that the vet advised me to monitor closely due to his slow heart rate and low body temperature. In fact, the vet informed me that both Batman and his brother were unlikely to survive and would likely pass away within the next few days. Unfortunately this was the reality for his brother who sadly passed away almost two days later, but we refused to give up on Batman!
I was committed to waking up every 2 hours to feed him, and I am relieved that those sleepless nights are behind us! As he progressed, we transitioned him to puppy mush, which he thrived on, and now he is enjoying kibble and water. Batman has all of his puppy teeth and is a lot less wobbly when walking.
He is definitely developing is own littler personality, and as you can imagine, we have grown deeply attached to him. He is strong, healthy, and an inspiration to us all. Batman has taught us invaluable lessons about perseverance and the importance of never giving up, even when the odds are against us. His story serves as a powerful reminder to maintain our faith, determination, and conviction that our actions can make a profound difference.
Unlike some breeders who might have given up on him due to his diagnosis with fading puppy syndrome, we chose to fight for his life. As responsible and compassionate breeders, we believe that every life is precious and deserves a chance to thrive. I am committed to doing everything in my power to ensure that all my puppies receive the care and love they deserve.
Batman’s journey is a testament to the impact of unwavering dedication and love.
