Hi

Thank you all for your support, I am really grateful, it has really helped.

I am pleased to say Teddy has not got a PDA

He has the same as my other two Yorkies had:

chronic degenerative mitral valve disease

It is worse for Teddy, as he has it so young. None of mine were realated, so it is just one of those things. Sadly you cannot cure it. It is progressive, and can be treated to prolone life, and the quality of life. No one can say how long he can/will live with it.

But he will die young. He is only 3 years old.

All we can do is love him while we can, and do the very best for him that we can. It is very sad, as we were hoping he would be one of the long lived babies.

I count my blessings, that it wasn't anything worse, so many of you loose your babies, younger than 3, so I am thankful, that we have Teddy now, he is so special and has helped me loose 3 people in my life.

First Max, my first ever Yorkie in 2006. My world ended, and I couldn't cope, nothing stopped the pain, until Teddy came along, then he helped me when my dad died this April, and then in August when we had to have Levi our second Yorkie put to sleep.

Then less than 2 months later, Teddy has a heart problem, I suffer from a rare blood clotting disorder, so it has been hard, but there are plenty of worse things in the world today.

There is always someone worse off, sometimes we need to count what we do have, rather than what we don't and we can carry on .....

We have Teddy now, and we all have each other on YT to help each other though the good and the bad times.

THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING THERE FOR TEDDY & I

Love Diana & Teddy

Dang it! I wish the news was better! I am so sorry. It just amazes me that you have had this problem with THREE unrelated dogs!

I'm sure we all will be holding you and Teddy close to our hearts. I will be praying the he lives a long comfortable life.

Bless you!

ARCHIE · 10-13-2009, 11:43 AM

Diana, I'm so sorry Teddy was diagnosed the same as your other
two pups. It's really hard to believe that you had three pups with
the same desease. Doing what you can is all that can be expected
from you. Who knows, it may be years yet before something does
happen to Teddy. Don't think about it, enjoy him. None of us
know what tomorrow may bring.

Hugs to both of you

Hi Lou

So were we, he is so special, and so loving he doesn't deserve this. Yes it is awful to have THREE un-related ones with the same thing, it is worse as he is 3 the others were both 9 when they got it diagnosed. All we can do is make every day count.

Thank you for your support.

Hi Archie,

You are so right, to not dwell on it, as it would spoil the precious time we have together. It may be longer than we think, lets hope so.

Again thank you for your support, it means so much to me.

Love Diana & Teddy x

Ulgh I truly teared up reading all of this.
I am SO so sorry this has happened to you. I couldn't possibly bear to lose so many dogs like that. Just losing my Hancock I thought I would never be the same until Luna cam around.
I do hope Teddy can still live awhile and bring you joy.
Sending prayers your way <3

Hi

It is hearbreaking when you loose one, I am so sorry for you too. It has been awfully tough for us, but we would do it all again if we had too, Max and Levi had other things too, that we were on tender hooks for whilst having them treated. But if someone said, you can go back and have three 100% fine Yorkies, or the three you have had, we would pick these 3 every time.

Better to of loved and lost than never loved at all they say... and to of known our three has been a joy and an honour. We don't know what may of happened if they had belonged to those who don't care as much as we do on YT for our babies.

I am so happy for you that Luna has helped you over the loss of Hancock, they sure leave pawprints on our hearts, that no-one can take away, they are so special each and every one of them.

Teddy & Diana x
