So we cleared up the ear infection which made the gums look a little better and, looked for the owner and gave him all the care we could. Once we decided it was okay to keep him (no collar, no micro-chip) We scheduled his nueter and teeth cleaning. He had finally started feeling better so his personality began showing. Took him in for the pre-op and found the kidney issues. The goal now is to get him healthy enough to get his teeth done so we can continue to make him well. I am so gratful for him...he is so cute with my big mutt and I love seeing them cuddle. So keep praying for the little guy and I will keep doing what I can. DWERTEN has been great and given me some great encoragement. I will give this guy the love and care I can. I would like to see him feel better so he can be happy and content. Thanks again for the help. |
How nice of you to take him in and take such good care of him. I have had so many yorkies come to me in this condition...usually they do clear up. He is still pretty young and if you can get the kidneys in better shape with fluids, antibiotics and the right diet then the dental can be done; and he will be a happy boy!
This is a good story for educating people about dentals and their importance. That is something that many people do not know...and if they have yorkies, they NEED to know. Not doing dentals will shorten a yorkie's life.
Best wishes to you and him!
