Thank you ALL so very much for your support and concern for my Nikki. You have no idea how wonderful it is for me to have stumbled upon this forum and found such terrific people.
First let me clear the air, after reading one of the messages that was placed in here I DID NOT come in here looking for a diagnosis. If I am correct this is a "Yorkie Talk Forum" and my assumption was that others in here are Yorkie lovers as I am and maybe, just maybe someone else might have gone through something similar that would help me get my Nikki the help she needed FROM A VET.
As I believe I stated earlier my vet had NO diagnosis and didn't even give a final exam to my Nikki because she (Nikki) was so irriated and he didn't want to fight with her. I do believe he is a fine vet but maybe not the vet for me.
Now on to more important things: My Nikki is doing A LOT better. She actually was able to start drinking water on her own again and is eating very well. She is being a little stubborn right now with listening to me but that's a Yorkie for you!! She continues to improve daily and the final diagnosis was stroke /or/ concussion. Unfortunately the syptoms are very similar and diagnosis with a CT Scan or MRI is my next option. Right now I'm going to give her a (short) vet break (providing she continues to improve). Believe it or not I do believe it was a concussion. I have two Yorkies Nikki is 2 years old and weighs 3 lbs and Nikki is 1 year old and weighs 12 lbs. Gia is regularly "body slamming" Nikki to get attention, food, water etc. and I'm having a terrible time breaking her of that. Now of course I am being a lot more aware of it and doing my best to break that habbit.
I will keep you updated on treatments, test that we do and will let you know how my baby is doing. Thank you again for your support and concern.
