My Cookie was a puppy mill rescue and I only had her for a short time. But she was the best addition to our family! She lost an arugment over a Kong with our bigger dog and although not hurt bad, I took her to the ER. The vet said this happens all the time over a toy, food or whatever the bigger dog wants. Her eye was bulging out of the socket and was pushed back in and stitched up for safekeeping. There were no other injuries and she didn't lose her sight either. Two days later I took her and her meds to our regular vet who gave her a shot to stop the nausea and a high-vitamin paste to rub on her mouth, till she felt like eating again. She seemed to be getting better and spent her days on her lambs wool bed. I went out to get groceries and when I returned she was gone! I am still broken hearted and can't understand why after 2 vets saw her, she passed away. She was 8yrs old and it could be that because she came from a puppy mill and lost the fight, all this could have been too much for her.
I've kept all her blankets, toys, bed, etc. And I still miss her very much. Every time I see a Yorkie I think of Cookie and I can't seem to get past this point. I'd like to have another one, and I'd like to get a rescue but I'm hesitant for obvious reasons. I have time and I can wait. Just like the first time, an opportunity will present itself.
