The people on YT are trying to spare you heartache and cost at the vets.
About a month ago Lexie came down with something, she was vomitting and had diarrhea... there is NO waiting until I can get off work, it is take her to the vet now, because she could get dehydrated fast since she is small. That vet visit was close to $500., bloodwork,etc.!! Luckily with meds she is fine now. The cost at the vet can be painful to the pocket.
During this time that you are waiting for your baby to get home, read, read, read all you can about illness, liver shunt, luxating patella, pancreatitis, potty training, vaccines, etc. Have a savings account for the yorkie or a credit card just for her or a pet plan.
I hope for your sake the puppy will adjust and is healthy. |
I can tell from your post that you mean well, are not attacking Rachel, and want to spare her potential heartbreak. But as someone else has posted higher up, she has decided to take Sadie, which should be the end of it. She has done a lot of research on all the things you listed and has prepared very carefully for Sadie's arrival. She also has an aunt who has a Yorkie and can advise her.
You obviously have a good heart. Please try to support her. I'm so glad your Lexie is fine now.
