Hi - I can offer no advise, just thoughts that this baby will be ok. Please keep in mind that when you read the responses that are posted, they are words that you are reading....like a text-message, unfortunately it is impossible to hear the genuine concern. I think everyone's first thoughts are how to help the puppy, so sometimes in wanting to respond quickly (which at times is so important - possibly life-saving) some words that may change the meaning of a sentence may be omitted - certainly not on purpose. Please take the time (when you have it) to look through some of the threads....I don't think you will find a more caring group of people. Not only for Yorkie concerns but for personal concern. Every group may have some who come across a little "harsh", but the concern is the same. My Bridget was spayed yesterday and the well wishes that were sent nearly brought me to tears - more support than I received from my own family. I believe they truly care. Please don't write this site off after one posting. There is a fountain of information to be had here - some of it only a seasoned Yorkie owner can help with. At the very least MOST of the time someone else has asked the same questions you have and the feeling that you are not alone means a lot.
My Bridget was an Amish puppy mill rescue - so I can relate with you wanting to give a home to a puppy that is in need. But I did know that these little anglels can be expensive (as your sister knows after spending all that on dental work) - I immediately applied for Care Credit just in case, because like you - I'm a regular person without thousands in the bank. Her spay and removal of teeth yesterday was over $500.00 which luckily on the card gives me a year to pay without interest. It's just an option when there is an unexpected emergency. I hope this is coming across as I mean it to.....if not please send me a personal message and ask me about anything I've said here that may offend, because that is not my intent.
Please keep us posted as to what you find out about your sisters little one - it's obvoius you love him very much.....and we do all care. Good luck! |
