 Hello KBug88 from a fellow Va. Yorkie Talker!
Yes, I can empathize with your situation! Two weeks ago I saw the cutest 2 Yorkie puppies at our pet store in their own glass pen, and I held the little female. A very healthy looking pair! Then, the day after Christmas, I stopped by the pet store for some doggie food. An elderly lady was buying the same female...I think there was a %-Off Sale going on! Well, the poor pup did not look well anymore. She looked as if she had some mucus on her eyes and looked very "down", not the same perky little girl at all! I think she's caught something right there at the store! Although they make everybody use hand cleansers, everybody wants to go hold the puppies! I think it is too hard on the little Yorkies! They are not like the bigger, tougher boxer or collie puppies. It made me feel really sad, the pup looked so worn-out!! I pray this elderly woman has had a Yorkie in the past--this lady looked about 68-70 years old! You know Yorkies can be a bit of a challenge to housebreak, especially for an elderly novice owner. I also hope the woman DOES take her new pup for the "vet check-up" which goes with all purchases from this shop. I am glad to hear your little girl is doing better! And, I'm also happy you are getting a vet whom you know 're-check her' to give his opinion. I hope it was a medicine reaction. Taffy had a bad reaction to a multi-worm pill that had a new med (for him) in it for 'tapeworms'! He had vomitting, shakes, and diaherria. Emergency Care Vet was busy with a car accident dog, but the nurse had me take him outside in the sun (was not Hot) and get water down him. After 1/2 hour, Taffy was acting much better and walking around. Now, it's on his chart that he can't take the tapeworm med any more! Scared us all!
LOL, Sue & Taffy |
