| the only thing i can suggest is immediate medical attention but you say that is out of the question. i doubt there is anything more that will help - unless or until a doctor looks at him and tells you otherwise. there are alot of wise ladies on the board and i am sure they will agree. i have learned alot from them!

| Did you take him to the vet? What did he say? What meds? I'm so sorry about your baby.

| also, contact several vets/vet hospitals. Some will work out a payment plan for you. Another option would be to contact yorkie rescues. You would have to surrender your little guy, but they would raise the funds for the surgery, find him a new home and he could lead a healthy life. It would break your heart, but be better than not helping him or putting him down. I don't know if any would take him, but it'd be worth a try.

| I would hold a huge garage sale to raise money for the operation. Have a big jar on a table with the reason your collecting money, and him in your lap. People give very generously when it's for a fur-kid. |

| Your vet should be able to tell you where to apply for this card...If not, call a big vet hospital in your area and ask them, they will tell you where to apply for it and how you can get it. Good luck! I will be praying for your baby...Try doing physical therapy with him...Little by little. I know there is a member on here that made a wheelchair type thing for her yorkie, and does physical therapy for him. She puts him in the tub and helps him.
