He is two years old, but this happend 9 weeks ago. He was always crying about his neck and my vets kept saying that it was a pinched nerve give me meds and send him home. There is genetic diseases out there and this is one of them unfortunately.
Myself I couldn't put my baby down. I had surgery done for him. At this time he is not walking, but he now has a cart to help him learn to walk and I do all his therapy.
She might not of know that something was wrong with the poor baby. Sometimes they don't find it until it is to late. I know my vet misdiagnosed my baby 4 times.
Have you gotten a new Yorkie since this happend.?????

I thought the same exact thing
Do you remember me telling you about my friends dog who had the AAI? Well she had the surgery, it was sucessful but while in recovery he lost the ablity to breathe. His brain stopped telling him to breathe. They tried so hard to make him breathe again, had him on a ventilator but when trying to get him off if it he just couldnt breathe.
Sadly he passed on. I feel so bad for her and I still cry for her. She tried so hard to make him better. She did everything she could for him. Vet said this would of happened no matter what (surgery or not) and she was lucky it had happened while in the hospital. The situation would of been 10 times worse if he were at home. He would of died in her arms, tragicly
Shes on a mission to help other moms who have to deal with this with their yorkies.
