Default 4 Month old Male (needs home ASAP)

As some of you already know me and how my home is open to any living creature needing a home
or help in finding a new home.
I have recently received a 4 month old special needs yorkie puppy needing a forever home.
I'm in desperate need of finding him a mommy or daddy that would take him in as their own and give him the medical treatment he needs.
I would keep him myself but my finances are just not there at this time and I have just received 3 young pups from overseas that I have to bring to show etc. along with the fact that I have a 3 year old son running around.-my home is not the right place for him.
my door is always open and I receive a lot of unwanted animals from potbelly pigs to horses.
I try my best to find each and everyone of them a new forever loving home but sometimes I cant-so they end up living here.
ok, enough about me.
I would also like to be honest with everything going on-I totally forgot about yorkietalk and I had him posted on Internet classifieds only to receive over 200 e-mails from stupid people asking for a free dog!
last night I received a e-mail from someone on yorkietalk that might be interested in him so that's why I'm here she reminded me of all of you caring folks who I have forgotten about with everything going on in my life. he is available -but the yorkietalk member who contacted me first will have first choice -if she feels would not be right for her then he is available to whom ever can supply him with the love he needs and give him a forever loving home!

BELOW ARE A FEW BASIC Q & A

I am interested in knowing more about him..
male-estimated adult weight 4 lbs. pure yorkie-not a mix!
paper-litter box trained very loving -not a yapper!

What exactly happened
all we know is that he was accidentally stepped on by another dog
when you have a older hyper dog you don't allow it to play with a tiny yorkie puppy!
vet confirmed it!

how extensive do you believe his treatment will be?

well there are a few options, treatment by a chiropractor and med's to put his disk back in place or surgery to put disk back in place.
he was given cordizone and was normal as any other dog but once med's were finished he returned to the way he was before med's.
REPORT FROM VET: Compressed C 1 & C 2 vertibrare
Causing neuralgic pressure while trying to stand and walk.


Can he walk?
on carpet he is fine, sometimes falls over. on a flat surface with no grip he doesn't do well.

What are the terms you are asking in his treatment contract. I know he is worth it!
basically you would have to agree that you will do your best to make sure he is seen by a vet of your choice and given whatever treatment that is recommended!
we were told with surgery he can return to normal but were also told treatments would work as well.

but most important is love -dogs (and any other animal) thrive on love!
he really is a sweet dog!
if you have any further questions, please feel free to call me 815 472-6151 or personally e-mail me dragonflyacres@aol.com

Love

Hi, Everyone.

I am the YT member that spoke with Marie. I gave the info to my Vet and he wanted to examine the puppy and see his Vet records.

It's quite a drive from where Marie lives to Valparaiso, IN so I had her call my Vet. Her daughter is a Vet Tech so she called an spoke with him.

My Vet is very interested in helping this little guy. He prescribed 1/4 of a Rimadyl tablet, twice a day for one week, and asked me to have Marie or her daughter bring him in with me, next week Thursday. He said there will be no charge for the Vet exam, because I am the one that wants to adopt him.

He has known me for many years, and knows the extent I have gone for my Wildlife Babies and for my girls.

I believe my Vet feels he can help him, otherwise he would not have gotten involved, and prescribed Rimadyl or want to examine him to see how well the Rimadyl worked.

When my tiny Kia injured a disc in her back, a number of years ago, she was given a cortisone shot and Rimadyl and it worked. She re-injured it slightly a few years later, and I noticed immediately and got the Rimadyl refilled and she has been fine ever since. We just do not allow her the opportunity to jump.

This little guy is in far better shape than Kia when she injured her disc, so I am thinking he probably won't require surgery, but if he does, I have great confidence in my Vets.

I have left Marie a message on her voice-mail, and am waiting to hear back if she is willing to travel out here.

People travel from Michigan and the Northern Suburbs of IL to see the Vets at McAfee Animal Hospital.

If Marie feels this is too far a distance to drive, please someone that lives closer, step up. I really believe, from talking to her, he is going to be fine. These little ones do amazing with LOVE. Even if he never walks quite right again, he is a sweet, loving little guy and that would not prevent Rich or I from taking him.

Thank you so much. I am awaiting Marie's call. I am sure she is thinking 50 miles is a long way to drive, to see a Vet she does not know, but I know this Vet very well. He has a heart of pure gold, and knows Yorkies very well.

All the years I did Orphaned Wildlife Fostering, he never charged me for an exam or a medication.

He said if she will come in with me, he will waive the office fee. I know he would not get involved and prescribe the Rimadyl if he did not feel this little guy could be helped.

He wants her or her daughter to come to the first appointment with Rich and I, otherwise Rich and I would gladly drive out and get him. I also think it would put her at ease to meet Dr. Larry, and Rich and I. In speaking with her, I know that she cares very much about where he spends his life.

So, I am praying she returns my call and is willing to bring him out for the exam.

The cortisone and Rimadyl did the trick for my tiny Kia so I am praying the Rimadyl helps this little one.

I love animals, I've fostered so many babies over the years. And I adore my Yorkies! My girls are my life. Sydney heard me talking to Daddy about a sick baby puppy and she stood up on her little hind legs, and looked at us, as if to say, "Where is the baby?" She is so smart, she knows the words "sick baby" so well, from all my years as a Wildlife Fosterer.

We definitely have room in our hearts for a Special Needs Baby.

But seriously, if there is anyone here, that lives closer, I would not be a bit upset if you contact Marie. I just want this little guy to get the help he needs, and a loving forever family.

Sheila

I'll be praying this rescue/adoption works out! He's such a young baby! What an awesome person you sound like you are, Yorkieville.

Thank you so much.

I had received an e-mail from Marie this morning, asking if we could get him in on Monday or Tuesday, but my Vet only works 3 days a week, and Thursday is his only "patient" day, the other two he does surgery.

My Vet had wanted to see him next Thursday, but Marie has had a serious family emergency arise, so I am just waiting to find out if she will be able to bring him out. Or if she needs to delay it a week. Or, if she wants to go another route.


Thank you for your prayers, they are greatly appreciated. Believe me, I am not awesome. It's just that after 35 years of raising orphaned wildlife babies, I care very deeply about Special Needs Babies and this little guy needs a permanent home where he can recover and know that even if he doesn't get any better than he is right now, he is loved & pampered. Our home is quiet and I think he would be happy here.

He is such a young baby, and I feel he deserves a chance to have a full life.

I am wondering if this puppy has had an MRI? Has it not been recommended?

OK..Now I am really confused. I missed that part in the original post where it said surgery would return him to normal. If that is the case, why would a vet say that he also could improve with other treatments. That makes NO sense to me. Who suggests surgery not needed.
I really believe this puppy from what I am reading with his vertebrae involved and with neurological issues needs to have a Board Certified Surgeon examine him to determine his best treatment plan which I am betting is surgery.
Just my two cents. I do hope that someone who can afford the above will end up with him. That is what he needs in my opinion. I have a foster in my home that people probably could not afford to repair so they left him the way he was for years...with a deformed hip. Oh, he was walking .. but he also limped...and his leg shook. Obviously very painful. Horrific to me that someone left him like that. We are spending $3,000 for his surgery and will spend more for his therapy. I had another one a few years ago who chewed his foot off because he was in so much pain from a pelvic fracture that the owners could not afford to repair. The vet report on him said that the owners had put him in a crate hoping his pelvis would heal in spite of being told surgery was the best option. So...when we got him, he had chewed the entire foot off and the leg had to be amputated.
Please!!! If a vet has suggested surgery on this puppy, be sure that is what he gets.

I forgot to add this: If it is decided that surgery is needed and if an individual cannot provide it, then perhaps you might consider a rescue. There are a number of rescues who might take care of this puppy in the event he needed surgery that no one could provide. OR...there are also many ways for individuals to apply for help for veterinary care. If anyone wants a list of agencies that offer help, I will be happy to provide one.

Hi, lady jane.

Actually, Jodi and I have been discussing this matter via e-mail, and my husband and I are beginning to feel he would be better off in Jodi's Rescue.
Jodi has already spoken to her Vet, and has been given a pretty clear course of what treatments he may require. It could be extremely expensive for one family to afford, particularly when we have two Senior Yorkies of our own.

I believe, that the questions you bring up, are the very reason that my Vet did not give us the "go ahead" to adopt him.

He has insisted that Marie attend an appointment with the puppy and bring all of his medical records.

I am quite puzzled by the very same things you question.

I do not know if this puppy has had an MRI.

Let me clarify~"my rescue" is Yorkie Haven Rescue and LadyJane is also part of this rescue. She has been involved in rescue far longer than I have been and has more knowledge about rescue than anyone that I know. I stand behind whatever she feels is the correct thing to do regarding any dogs care. She is my mentor and I have learned so much from her.

When this was originally posted, she was taking care of Ozzy and his emergency issues.
