Jinger, don't give up on her. My husband bought me a 6 week old yorkie in JAX, FL 9 years ago. He did not know any better... He drove home 5 hours to Melb., FL, 4 days later this little tiny creature started projectile vomiting and diah... I was ignored for a day but insisted on test and thank the Lord, because the vet called me back in and told me she had Hepatitus. We found a vet who operated more like a hospital and I spent the next 2 weeks being told she was dying and sitting and humming to her and feeding her through a syringe every minute they would let me in. They were open until 6 in the even. and open on Sat. so I was there every minute with only necessary trips home. I swear, that little yorkie knew I was fighting for her and that seemed to make her fight too. Her name is Lacy and she is perfectly okay now but no one gave her much of a chance. You just need good knowledge and support. Do not give up. She will feel your confidence and strength even if you sometimes don't think you have any. Research, hunt a good vet who knows what to do and has a "can do" attitude. Read everything and generalize. Listen to those who have been there. Ask the NEW vet, if he has had another patient that made it and would he call the owners and ask them to give you a call. Just do not sit still, you have the power to act and by reaching out you will do the best you can for her and yourself. You will know that you did all you can and if she makes it, then you also will know you were a part of what made that possible. All our little angels do not make it but we can stand up for them and do our best. Thanks for taking her in and reaching out to people who may help you along your path. All we can do is our best. I tip my hat to your openess and warm heart. Mary of YikesYorkies |
