Sorry about not giving an update on our baby. Finally completely over whatever it was, pancreatitus. Vets have no idea what brought it on. could have been stomach virus, Diet , NOT, he eats Blue. Treats are limited . bottom line, sometimes it just happens. My advice to everyone is even after you take your little one to the vet, only you know whats going on with your dog, even when your vet comes highly recommended, and you respect them, you need to be their advocate. Smal yorkies 5 lbs and under can have drastic changes in short periods of time. If you have any doubts, you need to voice your opinion and respectfully tell the provider you don't agree. The only reason our pup is still with us is our own pesistance. Not to badmouth the animal heathcare professionals but between the Vet, University of Penn Vetenary Hospital and after hour support I came away with a bad taste. Bottom line was money. Each phase of treatment was met with " treatment costs can be very high and we require a deposit to get started. " I spent over 10,000.00 on a yorkie with a liver shunt 12 years ago and had to give them the final payment of 700.00 before they would release the body to me. He died on the operating table. They required 5000.00 when he was admitted and incremints of 1000.00 every other day. I know I'm venting but the bottom line in my opinion would be to get a diagnosis first and then discuss finance. The Hospital told a woman at 1:00am that treatment for her cat would run about a thousand dollars and that if it was too much see could consider putting the cat down. Sorry about the rant but the bottom line is to be vigelant with your pets care Kathy and Ed
