Its very hard to spend several months waiting, hoping, dreaming, then having to tell yourself................honestly.......this isnt right... Basically I tried to fool myself and also defend my decision.
I can tell you this since it is a very fresh terrible feeling and thought in my mind.......you really dont understand the whole experience until you are at the crucial moment in it, kinda like a bad dream but you wake up from that, you cant from this.........this experience is real and once you start that ball rolling you cant change what can be a tragic outcome. I consider my yorkie very lucky.
I have a long relationship with my vet, not all from yorkies, we are avid animal lovers and have in the past brought in strays.....raised a few horses, a few siberian huskies several years ago...etc.
His last words to me " Kelly I hope you have learned from this experience"
He was very nice to me what he said.......I know what he was thinking. |
It sounds like you have a great vet. I have heard of some vets saying that size doesn't matter. I think those vets are thinking about the $$ from the c-sections, I can't figure out any other reasons. Good vets are hard to find. Thank you for sharing your story, it looks like it might have already prevented a couple dogs from going through what poor peanut did.
