Dolly isn't in very good shape and may need some special care. We are going to try to handle it on our own, although I don't have any experience in this type of situation.

She is staying at the vet's for a couple of days. She unfortunately lost an eye. Has several missing teeth, she has been shaved and has a serious skin condition. And appears to be agressive. We are hoping it is due to the pain that she has been experiencing, and that she will come around when she is feeling better. We expect to get her back either tomorrow or Saturday.

Has anyone had any experience with agressive behavior in Yorkies? Can you give me some advice?
I'm not sure about aggressive behavior although I'm sure a lot of it has to do with the condition she is in and probably what she went through where she lived prior to coming into rescue. Did she come from a Puppy Mill? What is her background? The condition she is in makes me think she was a mill dog?
