Thank you for your concern, Wylie's Mom and Yorkiemini. The news yesterday was very bad, renal failure. Part of the Silver Bullet shot they gave her on Tuesday contained steroids, which should have helped, but didn't. They gave her another dose yesterday, hoping to provide her with some relief, and for us to have a final night with her. It didn't seem to help much either. We had her put to sleep this morning, and buried her in an established pet cemetery. As I'm sure everyone on this forum knows, it's devastating. Especially how she faded so fast in the last few days.
She was an angel. Our first Yorkie, and a senior rescue, but it took no time at all to worm her way into our hearts. So happy and ready to grin, and probably the smartest dog we've ever had. At some point in the future we'll bring another small dog into our home, and it just might be another Yorkie. She made a big impression on us.
Again, thank you for your replies, and your concern. And don't forget to kiss your dogs goodnight tonight. |
