One of our members, dwerten, suggested that there be a sticky about liver shunt and one about pancreatitis. Then I guess if we did those there would also need to be stickies for all other common Yorkie diseases like LP, CT and hypoglycemia. Anyway, that is a lot of stickies to clutter up the top of each section. The same goes for things in health and diet like vaccines and what questions to ask the vet before surgery. So would it be possible to have an area on YT with this information maybe next to "Regional" and "Donations" on top of the screen or giving it its own section on the forum? Does that make sense? Just a thought.  |
GREAT MINDS!! -- I was just going to come post the same idea & I see you are a day ahead of me! I think we need a FACT or FAQ Section that would hold all the stickies on imporant issues.
To add to the list of ideas:
What to know about dental cleanings
Before spaying/neutering your yorkie
Questions to ask when buying a puppy
How to know if you are dealing with a puppymill/backyard breeder
Dangerous foods
Something on healthy food choices - we seem to have a lot of threads about is it ok to feed fruits & veggies
Poison information & contact numbers
Most common allergies - food & other (I recently read about a dog allergic to plastic!)
What to know before deciding to breed (So you want to be a breeder? Read this first!)
Finding a mentor for breeding or showing
How to treat fleas
How to remove/treat ticks
Transporting a puppy
Yorkie standards - including something on colors (and there is no such thing as a "rare" color
)
How to find a vet
Holistic practices/Acupuncture - with links for finding a vet who specializes in your area
I think stickies could still remain in the forum they are stuck to, but if we created a library or a fact section - there could be another sticky - with just the link to the original sticky (does what I'm saying make sense to you all?)
I think we could call that section something like: Yorkie Library or Yorkie Facts or Yorkie Reading or Yorkie Reference Room or Yorkie Reference Library
