Thanks for posting this Amber
. Especially since I just moved no less than TEN threads from the General forum to the Sick Forum.
I also really appreciate Nancy1999's reply too - bc I agree we have to remember that there are a lot of new yorkie owners who come on YT and really may not know what does/doesn't constitute a doggy emergency. So, they may need to gently, but firmly (!), hear it from fellow yorkie owners.
Sometimes, people come into the sick forum totally freaking out about something that is nothing (haven't we all been there, me included?) - and we can all lend a hand and an ear there, thankfully (and, possibly save a very costly vet trip). And sometimes, people come into the sick forum asking about something that is clearly a BIG thing - but really don't know any better - and again, we need to lend a hand and light a big fire under their butts without totally offending them in the process.
Believe me, I feel your pain -
a la "my dog has had bloody stools for a thousand days straight - should I give
pumpkin?" --- um....at that point, I want go downstairs, grab hubby's hammer, and bonk my head 10 times.
