I"ll try to keep it short but here is my story. I had my last yorkie for 16 years. Next month will be 3 years since she's been gone. It took over 2 1/2 years to finally decide to get another yorkie. I found a reputable breeder and piked up my baby girl, Bijou at 10 weeks old. She was a very finicky eater and slept way too much. I felt in my heart something was wrong. One night shortly after eating dinner she began to act strangely, pacing, not able to get comfortable, and unsteady so I took her to the pet emergency hospital. Once there her behavior became even more strange. Her muzzle was soaking wet like I had dipped her face in. A bowl of water and she was biting her pet carrier and locking on to it and would not let go. They hydrated her and gave her an anti-nausea and I took her home. She paced for several more hours. She seemed like she was in a trance. Like she didn't even recognize me. The next morning she seemed like herself but I contacted the breeder because I never wanted to witness this puppy suffer like this again. After all the research I had done I felt she had a liver shunt. The breeder took her back but I cried for days. She kept me abreast of her status daily and seemed to be ok. She asked if I would be interested in watching her for 3 weeks while she went out of town. He husband would be there but working during the day and the puppy would be let out once a day by her her son. There are two other adult yorkies there. I decided that I loved her so much that I didn't want her to have a medical emergency and no one there to help her, not to mention stressing out the other two dogs, so I agreed to watch her. She seemed like a different puppy playful and not sleepy (lethargic-like). She said we could discuss if I wanted to keep her when she got back. Well, I have had to take her to the vet two times since. One foe UTI almost unheard of in puppy so young but common in liver problems and once for lethargy again. She had a protein C 87% anf her Alk Phosphatase went from 391 in Nov and now in Dec 1100. They also did a Addison's on Christmas Eve. This puppy whom I love dearly is is breaking my heart. They are thing MVD. I am worried about her having so many symptoms and only 21 weeks old. Advice please.
