Good Morning, I certainly hope little Stormy is feeling better this morning. I'm trying to think of how to word what I want to say....you know you sound like to me that after loosing your other baby, you are a little panicky, and thinking the worse about Stormy's incidents. Stormy needs you. In one of the posts I read where someone told you God put Stormy in your care, I agree.

I had the same thing to happen with my little Bella. I have 3 now. My first 2 were perfectly healthy, and when I was looking at Bella, who was 4 mo at the time, the lady told me she was perfectly healthy, and was utd on her shots. Well, that all turned out to be hogwash, and I'm like you....the nerve...you say you love this little doggie to death, but you never did anything for her. Bella never had shots, had an ear infection, had a skin infection and was diagnosed with bilateral luxating patella. I was totally overwhelmed with all that and was thinging the absolute worse, and how can I afford all her issues. But once I got the infections cleared up everything was ok.

Yorkies have such sensitive little tummies they are going to throw up. They throw up if they are too hungry, if they eat too much, or if their diet changes the slightest bit. I wouldn't be too concerned about Stormy throwing up unless it continues. Ear infections can be cleared up with a medication that is about $25 in my area. Depending on the grade of LP, Stormy could possibly live a normal life without the surgery. Bella has the LP and she runs like a jack rabbit. She's a grade 2, in both knees. One of mine went through the low blood sugar, and we almost lost him, but sugar dives can be prevented. I don't know what Stormy weighs, but the low sugars should cease when she gets to her ideal weight. All these things Stormy is going through are just things Yorkies get or have. Now the seizures is a different story. I've not been through that, but hopefully that won't happen to her again.

Maybe you need encouragement that Stormy is possibly not as unhealthy as you are thinking. All of these issues are overwhelming, I know. Please think long and hard before you rehome her. Hugs to you and Stormy, Denise
