I am posting again because I started thinking that you and you wife might be feeling like you did something wrong. I seriously doubt that would be the case, many dogs and several in bad health are picked up by rescue groups and driven on long trips to a foster home or a vet, many are given treats and so forth and they survive. A 7 year old dog can survive a few hours or more without water or food and a few new treats, and definitely a bout of car sickness, and if this dog was prone to car sickness did the owner tell you that, surely they would have known. I could be wrong but my gut says this dog was sick and the owners did not bother to find out what was wrong or they knew but did not want to spend the money to treat him. My heart goes out to you because you opened your home up to an older yorkie where many would not. |
