| Elderly Neighbors Yorkie sick I live next to a 80 year old lady who had a yorkie around 10 months old.I know it had all its shots,and she fed it everyday.She is always outside with the dog loving on it,this lady takes care of it. The other day she called asked me to come over.Her dog was shaking its head,it was wobbly,and would fall over after a few steps.I looked at ther dogs gums they were grey,the dog had crusted over eyes.I wiped the eyes off,her dog had a weird gaze,but its whites where still pretty white.I gave her dog some nutrical with no improvment. The dog did try,and eat but the food would fall out of its mouth.She has another dog that is 14 year old,and healthy. So we are just trying to figure it out,as to what happened as her dog died |

| How terrible!! Could the dog have gotten into any cleaning supplies or any type of chemicals that were toxic? So sad. |

| I'm a bit confused. Don't you trust what the vet told her caused death? What did he say caused it? |

| It could also be she accidently dropped a pill or something and the dog found it... You have to really watch for stuff like that. I'm so sorry to hear that. |

| Had this yorkie had all her vaccines? Losing weight overnight like that makes me think her yorkie was severely dehydrated. If her dog did not have all her vaccines this could have been a contrubitng factor.

| She let the dog go out and play a few hours daily with the other dog.As I said before we never made it to the vet due to distance.She is poor,and wouldn't have money to get a autopsy. |

| I'm curious too to hear what the vet said. If I had to guess, it does sound like poisining of some sort. |
