Welcome, sorry your introduction has to be about something so traumatic. The seizures can be so upsetting to witness, I lived through it twice, once with eplilepsy in a female due to her heart stopping beating prior to sergery, the other in a young bitch which was diagnosed initially as epilepsy, but failed to respond to treatment. After joining this site and reading other peoples experiences I now strongly believe it may have been livershunt. Unfortunately as its not really recognised as a Yorkie problem over here it was not tested for and I'd never heard of it except in Bedlington terriers.
That said there is nothing wrong in giving your heart to these little dogs. We love them and cherish them in all their shapes and sizes, but still remember they are dogs. |
