This may have very well been a troll as you say. I guess you'll never find out because if they weren't you have run them away anyhow. You may have truely missed the very purpose of this forum, to help educate other yorkie owners who ask for help. You all should realize that not everyone runs to the vet. You and I know that infection in the teeth could be deadly but obviously this person didn't realize it. I bet there are millions of people through out the world who own dogs that truely love them but can't afford a vet. Lack of money doesn't mean lack of love for your pet. This person might not have been aware that a simple chat with the vet could make it a little less expensive. I have seen people on this forum ban together to help another member pay for medical care. One of my yorkies has bad teeth and I dare anyone to tell me it is due to him not being properly cared for.
I feel extremely sorry for this yorkie. (If it truely does exist) it will not be getting the help that they asked for.
I do agree this yorkie need to see a vet asap... but you guys handled this all wrong.
and.... as i said.... I don't want this to be a fuss!
Think about the purpose of this forum. |
I agree with everything you just said...
the original poster said her dog was 15 years old - there's bound to be incontintence but I agree - a vet visit should be soon especially for the teeth issue ...We can't automatically assume there isnt a real person behind this.....
The net has opened a whole world of information that we never had before and I have to think if someone got a yorkie 15 years ago - they probably weren't informed about teeth issues .....many people don't realize how bad an infection can be. Even someone getting a yorkie NOW could be uninformed because not all vets will tell us that teeth have to be maintained throughout their whole life
ooops ....I just saw YOUR post Pat (YorkieRose) - we must have been posting at the same time but mine took longer lol - I didn't mean to repeat what you said
