I am new to yorkie talk and I needed to get on here for support and direction. I have lost 3 of my beautiful yorkie companions in the last 7 years, two being recent in the last 3 months due to horrible situations I cannot help but feel like I to take blame to myself. My first yorkie died from a horrible liver shunt that my vet unfortunately could not fix in surgery and died. I was so devastated..I had bought another dog from the same breeder around the same time and she lived till she was 7 years old and died suddenly this fall from hemorrhagic gastritis after I picked her up from being boarded and again I was so devestated. She was in puppy ICU for 3 days and the vet thought she was getting better but she died suddenly from shock and they were unable to revive her with cpr. My vet told me both situations could have been prevented by better breeding standards.My husband decided to try to cheer me up and he surprised me with a 9 month old puppy he had bought from a breeder and she was such a joy to have and really helped me to cope with the loss of my other dog. Yesterday I experienced the worst and had her in the car with me running errands. I went to get in the car and she was so excited to see me she jumped up to lick me like she always does but jumped to high and lossed her footing while the car door was open and fell from my seat of my car onto the pavement and hit her head. I panicked and tried to rush through traffic to the nearest vet and am not quite sure how I got there because I was crying so hard. The vet took her and tried to do cpr on her and gave her epinephrine but her little heart had already stopped. I contacted the breeder to tell her what happened and all she said was " my condolences to you." I am so angry, sad, hurt and feel so alone. I can't help but think this is my fault for all of it and I'm so heart broken to know that there are so many breeders out there that don't seem to care only about profit and not the heat ache that they put people through because Yorkies bring so much joy and they are our family members. My heart is so heavy and I feel so cheated. I also feel like I can't trust the breeders because I feel like it's about profit and size, not health. I don't know if I can ever allow myself another yorkie because of this. So, so heartbroken.
