No one is attacking you, nor would anyone want you to feel that way. No one is ever going to agree 100%, all have and are entitles to share their opinions. As for deleting your account.....it would be a great loss for you and Deputy. The world can't be sugar-coated and someone holding your hand telling you that all is going to be ok all the time, ESPECIALLY when there is a serious issue. And from my experience and your story I greatly fear poor Deputy has a serious issue. I hope I am wrong. I hope you find a way to have testing done and can come back here and arrogantly and obnoxiously tell us all "I told you so" if that would make you feel better.

Instead of feeling attacked because you may not understand how to appreciate the advice you have received, take a step back.....realize how FORTUNATE you truly are for finding a forum of such PASSIONATE and KNOWLEDGEABLE individuals that have been struck by your story enough to share opinions and advice. As for the ultimate of surrendering Deputy to a rescue as opposed to just not having test done because of the cost. I do not mean the following heartless at all, but hadn't you rather know that you had done EVERYTHING you could for him than walk in and find him dead in his crate because his last episode was so violent and severe his little body just couldn't withstand it? None of us want to see any person of a yorkie suffer and hurt....but even more so, if there is something that can be done, we don't want to see that precious little furbaby suffer or hurt. If not today, then one day I am willing to bet that you will understand and appreciate the mindset that many here share.

The approach may not always be agreed upon here, BUT it is always with the same intentions.....the welfare and good of our little ones that want nothing more than to make us happy. We should want nothing more than to prove them with the BEST possible lives, this mindset is usually unfortunately a result of regrettable experiences.

Good luck in your search for financial assistance.
