I would first like to welcome you to YT. Remember, this is a 7 y/o rescue. you don't know his medical back ground. Insurance is the best thing, there could possibly be other issues in the very near future. You came to YT members, asked a question and your answers, you may not have like the tone of the answers. Sometimes to impress upon the OP the urgency of getting baby to vet ASAP examples have have to be used, such as "if you woke up and could not walk would you call that an emergency" . That may have seemed harsh to you, but, think about it. Dogs have no voice to tell you they are in pain. You have to watch for signs, if they are not acting normal always call your vet. Sometime we our selves are not feeling up to par sometimes, we tend to neglect our selves, not always a good thing to do, but that is human nature, with this breed many things can go wrong, putting off for tomorrow what should have been done today could cause the pup his life. YT is dedicated to all breeds, not just yorkies, members are adamant about the health of all dogs. If you choose to never come back to YT because you feel you received to much negativity, what you received was concerned answers to your concerned question, great advise about getting pet insurance. There are NO VETS on YT, but members with years of experience with yorkies and other breeds as well. They can offer advise, suggestions, but cannot diagnose any pups illness. Not coming back to YT does not hurt the members, does not hurt you, but it will hurt your pup. I pray that this lil baby will be well in a few days. He deserves a good loving life. I would also like to thank you for rescuing.
