But Tank is my first Yorkie and I am interested to know what went wrong with Muffin. |
Very long story but to cut it down to bare bones, after we returned from a funeral back east (gone for 12 days) we returned to pick up my babies (Cassie and Muffin) both Yorkies 1.5 and 2.5 yrs old...boarded at my Vets. Muffin was the only one that got shots and they were given on the day I came to take them home. That night she started screaming when I petted her. She was afraid to walk into rooms, she wouldn't eat or drink, she stopped eliminating, she started falling to the side and stumbling, then couldn't get up to walk at all and unless I picked her up and carried her, she could only lay in her bed and cry. After taking her back to my Vet she checked her and told me she had become completely blind in the right eye.
This was my rambunctious, curious, little l.5 yr old. She referred me to one of the most prestigious Veterinary Hospitas in the country where they told me she had Yorkie encephalitis and did not have very long to live and would need shots of prednesone for the rest of her short life. They said she would be bind forever in her right eye. Naturally I was beside myself with grief. I refused to accept this, as I knew she was a normal healthy little girl before I left her. Searched day and night and Finally found an amazing magical Holistic Vet and now my baby has entirely recovered and is seeing in her right eye. NO prednisone...never would have been able to afford the months and months of treatment to save her life without PetPlan. That's our story. If you need more details, let me know :-) Namaste :-)
