| bad news I am new here, but I thought I could share with you - just got bad news on my 13 year old Yorkie, Raven. He is in kidney failure. He is not uncomfortable right now, but is drinking alot and has a few accidents. I lost my other 13 year old Yorkie, Gizmo this past spring. Left one morning for work and when we came home, he was dead - looked like he died in his sleep (sure hope so). Today is a VERY bad day for us, and i was reaching out for some YT empathy and maybe some hints on how to help Raven. We have a very good vet. Thanks for listening!!! |

I'm so sorry about Raven & Gizmo. Wish I could be of help. The only thing that I can suggest is just make sure he is comy.

| I am soo sorry to hear that. My yorkie Lacey was diagnosed with kidney failure shortly before Easter this year. She was also 13 years old. When I got the news, I was devastated. Cried in front of my boss all of my co-workers. Yet, none at work seemed to care. My mom made the toughest decision ever when we had to put her to sleep only 5 days after my birthday. We felt she could not go on anymore and she suffered enough. I am so sorry that you have to go through this. I am here if you ever want to talk.

| So sorry to hear about BOTH your babies I would keep in close contact with your vet and when they think it's time I'd let him go..as hard as that is. You don't want him to suffer if it's best to let him go. You'll see both your babies again at the Rainbow Bridge. Just LOVE, CUDDLE, and KISS him as much as you can. Hugs to you and Raven. You're both in my prayers.

| Your post is very sad but I am so glad you came to YT to share this with all of us so we can help you through this difficult time. It is so hard to lose a pet but to lose two so close in time at your age will be really hard indeed. I am glad that at least you will have a chance to say goodbye to Raven since Gizmo's death was sudden. Please know that we are here for you and we truly do understand. |
