Thanks everyone. I wanted to wait until after the night feeding to report. He laid on Spirits rug all afternoon. He was giving me "puppy size", (from a GrannyG e-mail, I love it!!) I had to leave him to go to the shelter. I didn't spend the time with the dogs like normal, so it only took me an hour. When I got home, he had tried to move. He couldn't stand up. I called my vet, but he isn't in on Wed. I called another vet and he said "Oh, he's sick". I said NO SH!T!! I told him I gave him an antibiotic and he said good. He said to MAKE him drink milk, so I used the syringe to force feed him. He acted like it was no big deal. HA!! I put him back in the pen on a rug with the others, and they were so happy to see him. It was so cute!! We just got back in and he had tried to move again. Something is wrong with his legs, because he can't stand. I'm going to call my reg. vet tomorrow. He is house trained!! He never once poo'd or pee'd in the house!! He did when he was in the stall though. Also, he was crying tears. When I was sitting on the floor with him in the house, He held his head up, and a tear fell on the floor. It was so sad. He's 2 weeks old today, and I'm so upset about this. Tom says I get too attached to my animal, but I can't help it. He was so helpless. I'll report in again tomorrow, and hopefully after a good nights sleep, he'll be back.

Oh Ms.Owl, know exactly how you feel about getting so attached. Mountain Dew's tears would have torn at my heart. Sending good vibes and thoughts your way

Sure hope the force feeding along with the antibiotics made a big difference along with being back with the other kids. Sweet dreams.

Well, Tom checked on them this morning at 6, and the other 3 jumped up and ran around, but Mountain Dew just lifted his head. I talked to a vet friend (I forgot about her yesterday) and she said it sounded like hypoglycemia. She said to put Karo syrup on his lips and in his milk. I had to run out and get some and got everything ready, went out there, and guess who met me at the door!! MD!!! I was so excited!! I fed the other 3 and put them outside pen and went in for him. He was still wobblie, and limping on his front right leg. He drank his milk like he hasn't drank in 2 days!! Well, he hadn't!! He walked out of his stall, but I carried him to the pen and he walked alittle and laid down. He's laying there now with the other 3 around him. It is sounding good, and I hope maybe he just turned his ankle or something easy like that. But anyway, Mountain Dew is coming BACK!! I'll keep you posted on his road back to health!! Thanks everyone for your thoughts, and thank you Tess for your updates for everyone, too!!

I'm so happy to report Mountain Dew is almost his bouncy self again. He's not limping as bad, and he's drinking all of his milk. I am so relieved because I'm in panic mode getting ready for a visit from Abby(Normal???)!! She's coming up for her cousins 50 birthday party tomorrow, and then leaving on Sunday. All my "new" kids get to meet their auntie Abby!! I wish she had more time to spend with us, but she will be back for the Nashville Connection, whenever that is.
