| My Yorkie died We took our two Yorkies in to the vet on Monday to get their teeth cleaned. Two hours later the vet called to tell me the smallest had "arrested" as the anesthetic was being administered. This was not her first dental and not the first time she had been put out for a procedure. Needless to say, I feel so guilty. She was a happy healthy 7 year old Yorkie and I paid someone to kill her. I'm just sick. Her teeth were so bad and we couldn't get her to chew on knuckle bones, the vets recommendation. I thought I was doing the right thing. I'm sorry, but I just have to cry out to someone. Has anyone else had any experience with this? |

| I am so sorry for your loss. We never know when we put our babies under if they will come out of it or what reaction they will have. Don't blame yourself.... it's part of the risks one takes with anesthesia. It happens to humans too... sometimes things go wrong. So sorry... Hugs to you...

| So sorry! Don't drive yourself crazy with the "what ifs". We can find some way to point the finger at us whenever someone we love dies. |

| Thank you all. I just can't stop crying. Needless to say I didn't let them do the dental on the other Yorkie at this time. I know she needs it, but I'm so afraid. The vet didn't seem to know what went wrong. She said it may have been an allergic reaction. They gave her epinepherine and cpr, but it didn't help. I'm kind of worried that the fact she didn't eat enough the day before contributed to it. Maybe hypoglycemia. She liked to eat when I came home from work and I had worked late that night and she was unable to eat because it was after the time the vet wanted her to eat before anesthesia. She had food out for her all day, but I'm worried that she didn't eat. I know that thinking all of the "what ifs" isn't going to help, but I can't help it. The other Yorkie, Shelby, is her sister and she is so upset. She won't come out of hiding. She is much more timid that the other was and she is taking this real hard. I'm starting to look for another. We need one to fill the hole in our hearts and be a companion for Shelby. Our job here finishes on the first so I will have time to work with a puppy or a rescue. |
