That's what I tried to say yesterday when you breed. But even if you don't breed, Just having these little ones, you need someone that you know you can count on. You have really know this is just as important to them. This is hard to find. |
This is so true! I like my vet fine, but I don't love her. I think the perfect vet is as elusive as the perfect breeder. They exist and we know they're out there, but to actually find one you must hold on tight!
This thread is quite scary. To think that any kind of amputation can be taught online, over the phone, or in any other method that is not face to face with an absolute expert is beyond my understanding. If these babies were on the verge of death and the breeder was caught in the middle of a tornado/snow storm/(fill in disaster scenario here) and there was absolutely no other way to save them other than over the phone instruction, then that situation, and that situation alone is the exception. This is why a mentor is so important. A top notch breeder that learned from another top notch breeder knows the ins and outs of all things yorkie, and I mean ALL things. For advice on breeding and raising a litter, a vet isn't the only option. It is extremely saddening to see people looking for their "mentors" and answers after the fact.
