Since right before Christmas we were dealing with King's illness issues. We spent about $800 at Banfield and then found a FANTASTIC vet named Saundra Taylor closer to our home and then spent about $1400 on xrays, ultrasounds, liver biopsies, etc. No expense is too great when you love your family, I get it. He recovered and is now doing great although he has a serious seperation anxiety issue with my mother, his mother. I now have two little girl Yorkies. Mia is a 14 month old Black and Tan female and Oreo is an 11 month old Biewer Yorkie. We got them at the end of December. Mia was in great shape but the women that were responsible for Oreo felt like she was a 'runt' and wouldn't make it. They didn't vaccinate her at all. She has already had two broken legs before we got her and they set them themselves and did it crooked. She is the cutest baby in the world to me. In the start of January I underwent abdominal surgery. Then at the start of February, Oreo seemed out of sorts so I took her to the vet. After $230, x-rays and office visit with medicine, we found out we cant have her vaccinated while she is sick. Then my dad went into the hospital with total kidney failure among other things. When I said earlier that I was unable to pay the $200 dollars to get her in, it isn't because I am unwilling and I don't want to spend any time watching her suffer, I am trying to take care of her to the best of my ability. I spoke to a friends sister that is a vet and she said that i could give her a small amount of children's Benadryl to relieve her symptoms. That has worked and she isn't choking, spitting phlegm, or struggling. She is back to normal. I am taking her to the vet tomorrow to check up on her, we just want to make sure it is nothing more. I wanted to clarify that I am not trying to minimize the situation or be complacent about this issue. I appreciate all of your help and encouragement and feel thankful that there is such a thing as 'Yorkie Talk' right now!
Thanks,
Cindy

You have done a tremendous job taking care of your babies with all else that you have had on your plate and do not let anyone make you feel otherwise!! She may just have an allergy or cold. It sort of sounds like it with the Benadryl working.
