| Please Help! I Need info.. found, sick Yorkie. An accquaintance of mine calls today,,, :"Do you want another Yorkie ?" I say WHAT?! She tells me she works in Sugarcreek,,Land of Puppymills,,, and this amish man came in with a neutered small, skiny male,, sickly looking,,, and asked if anyone wanted him,, He claimed, this dog was in his field and he about ran it over with his tractor and he wondered if anyone wanted him??? So she called me,, I guess a coworker took him home, BUT cant keep him, So she said she will bring him by today and Im gonna check him out,,, Well my questions are,,, what should I be looking for,, Im gonna check his weight, his eyes, his teeth, his knees, his coat, his gums,, Im so worried, that Im gonna get all attached,, then make an appt to the vet and he'll be sick or need Hundred of dollars of medical attention,, which I can NOT afford, and I dont want to risk Bailey catching anything he might have. I'm just concerned that maybe someone got him,,found out they cant handle his medical bills or behaviour problems... I would take him in a heart beat, But,, I just dont wanna heartbreak,and cant afford tons of vet bills.. I guess I need to know what to look for if I get to see this dog,, before a vet can check him out.. He is neutered so someone cared enough to do that... ok any advise would be appreciated. thanks in advance.

| Well, I understand where you're coming from. I definitely wouldn't have him around Bailey WITHOUT him being checked first. They can have something that you don't see immediately. That's the best advice I can give. Perhaps someone else can help more, but that is what I would do.

| Awwwwwe, the poor little thing! I would hesitate to bring him straight into your home...parvo and all kinds of things can catch easily. I'm saying this because I know it is the right thing to say, but I'm afraid I would bring him in even if I knew better (shame on me). He is probably undernurished, dehydrated, has worms, hasn't had shots, and hasn't had love. Poor little bugger needs lots of TLC. Sounds like you want to check the right things, but without a vet check up, who really knows. I wish you much luck in your decision.....maybe he is a true diamond in the rough! |

| I would definitely have him vet checked before I introduced him to Bailey, but who knows how this came to be... maybe he is just lost (poor baby)... did anyone check for a microchip? I doubt he came from a puppymill or he wouldn't have been neutered. Someone cared enough about him at some point to have him fixed. That is so sad, I hate to hear about stray pets... I hope this works out and you can give him or help find him a forever home. |

| Oh yes, have him checked out first. I'm sure you will fall in love with him as soon as your eyes meet. (so be careful!!!) Please keep us posted.

| I think you should have him vet checked ASAP too but the poor little thing probably looks scraggly and sick because who knows how long he's been fending for himself. Keep us posted!!!!

| Yeah, I know. It would be all I could think about, too. One look and I'm gone! It's so pitiful to think of a little yorkie lost in a field. I cannot even imagine, because it's a wonder coyotes didn't get him!

| Let us know what happens later. I hope he's not too just. All he may need it a little love, good food and some shots from the vet. I'll pray for the best!
