Before I give an update, I want to say that these people have recieved hate mail and threats. I understand how we all take this seriously and care about proper breeding practices with our beloved yorkies but I have seen on this forum how some use this venue to cut people apart who do not believe as they do. Those who feel that because they belong to a certain club or they have certain credentials or they have bred a certain number of years that they are the be all and end all and they use words to belittle and degrade. You have scared this child to death, worried her family and shown your colors. Those of you who offered help without judgements and truly listened to who was speaking to you, realized it was most likely a young child who needed help and assistance thank you, your colors shown brilliantly too.
OK.. Bailey is on her way to another vet. The first vet, the one they have been in contact with since yesterday, does not have an xray capabilities so they have an appt. at 2:30 central time in a larger town that has one. Their vet believes that this is a false pregnancy, he feels no puppy but they are doing an xray to confirm. He does believe Bailey has lymes disease as her symptoms seem to indicate this, however, treatment can not be started until they are sure there is no pregnancy.
They will call me after the second appt to update..
They appreciate the help they have been given but please, let's try and maintain some calm without being so critical before we really know the entire situation. I understand how emotions can get the better of us.. I've been there myself many times.. especially when we feel someone is not doing all they can for a helpless animal.. but to send hate mail and threaten is way beyond reasonable.

Since Jim and I were the only breeders ( where were you?) that responded to this young lady your post was directed at both of us. However, if you've read through this entire thread.....firmness did not come into play until the young lady began to take the situation lightly. She offerred no information on her age or detailed information on what was transpiring.
If you are insinuating that either of us are directing hate mail to this young lady and her family there is no validity to that accusation.
This young lady had been posting desperate posts on several older posts over the last 48 hours, requesting advice and not taking it. Where were her parents during this situation. They should be monitoring their daughter's internet actions.
As I stated above, damned if you do and damned if you don't.
