This might sound harsh but just my opinion
While 450 may sound outrageous for an older dog at a rescue you need to realize what rescues put out on sick dogs that they take in. I've had three yorkies two I bought as puppies from so called reputable breeders, my fife needed two new hips two knee surgeries also had a collapsed trachea. My second has a seizure disorder, also died of a collapsed trachea. My third cooper who rescued three years ago who has just turned 5 had a stroke. He is been in the hospital several days with many tests the fees so far are about 8k. I'm happy to pay it to try and fix my dog, my point here is if you can't afford 450, perhaps a yorkie is not for you. Not saying all yorkies get sick but they might. |
