One month. That is all we had with our sweet baby, one month, 3 days and 4 hours. From the minute we brought him home Bandit was our baby. He was so loving and friendly. We bought him for my daughter's 12th birthday. I've had pets before but this was our first Yorkie. We named him Bandit because he stole our hearts. Last Saturday he had a seizure. It was short and he acted strange for a short time afterwards. Again on Monday he had another one. The vet ordered blood work and we were waiting for the results to come back. He was referring us to a vet-neurologist. Last night at 10 pm he went into a seizure with convulsions. I tried to hold him in my arms but he was twisting and turning and crying out in pain. My husband grabbed him and drove to the emergency vet hospital.

They did everything they could for him. He was on an IV, valium, oxygen. They couldn't stop the seizure. They said he had a liver failure. He died around midnight. I am absolutly heartbroken. Some people might not think you get so attached in so short a time, but believe me you can. Thanks for reading my story. I'm just glad I had a place to remember Bandit. He was here and gone so quickly I wanted the world to know how wonderful he was and how much I love him.
