Thank You Nancy,

I wish with my whole heart that I had read this post from you 'before' this happened to Tiki. I should have known better... If I knew what you just told me, I would have gone to the Vet many times over the years and definitely at first signs in this case ...

Living here in Belize, on a small island, is also very problematic. I won't get into it, but we have a humane society, but no 'full time vet'. We have a retired voluntary vet here, and my husband spoke to him and said he would not have been alarmed at all with Tiki being sick for one day. He would have sent us home with him. He also said that because he went so fast he probably could not have done anything for him anyway...

Now I know otherwise. I need to know these things. I can't go through this again. Sadi, my female is only 3.5 lbs, she is even more delicate than Tiki at 7 lbs... I need to protect her and now I know a bit more about how to do that. But even with all the research I have done about dogs and Yorkies specifically, over the last 12 years or so, how to raise them, train them, feed them, etc. I did not realize just how fragile they could be and that they could go so fast.

I am terrified for my sweet Sadi, and will be an even more protective parent now... I have no children, I feel like I lost my little boy... it is so painful.

I know you are not saying anything to hurt me or judge me. I know you are trying to help me and others, and I appreciate that.

So, I get now what I should have done, and what I will do differently if ever in this horrible position again.

However, I would still like your opinion, do you know or think it was the raisins and Kidney Failure? I will re-read your post and see again what all you thought it could be...

Thank you so much for your time, big hugs...
