Hi everyone my name is Kathy and I am a new mom to what a believe to be a 6 lb yorkie. Let me tell you the story. Shooter was found while our rescue was pulling a lab out of a gassing facility in Louisiana. The shelter was closed when we arrived but on the doorstep in a box was an approx. 7 week old lab puppy who had died and shooter.
We could not leave him there - he would have died. He was taken to the vet and given a good grooming. Once he was groomed we noticed his front legs - exrays were done and it was determined he suffered from birth defects not trauma. He was neutered, given a physical - a dental and all his shots.
Has anyone ever seen this kind of decfect - I really don't know much about Yorkies - I have 6 other dogs ranging from a beagle to a greyhound. They are all rescues. This guy breaks my heart but makes me smile at the same time. He doesn't use his front legs much. If the pain becomes unbearable we will have to look at other options - the vet says surgery is out of the question. it is like his bones are backwards. Anyway meet my "Shooter!"
