I don't know either of these things for a fact, but if I'm right the fault lies with the parents for not rushing this pup in for immediate care....not with a frigtened young girl. A girl who may need our help even more today IF she can get her parents to take this little one to a vet. The internet may have been her only way of getting help.

If I'm wrong, then I'm in full agreement with everyone else here and I'll apologize to you all for my assumptions. I see it as often as everyone else here - people coming to YT for free medical advice, just looking to save a buck. And I HATE it!!! But I've also seen terrified children who couldn't get their parents to listen or to care. Let's try to wait and see which case this is.

KAS, please tell us how your girl is doing today.

I think...Its either someone playing head games with you wonderful breeders or its a child , cause no adult can be that unsure about contractions and labor and not know they are one in the same

Sending TONS of prayers for that little momma.

I am still in shock, even as I'm typing! This is nuts! The mental pictures racing through my head of this poor momma and her babies has made me downright nauseated!

I haven't been online in a few days and this is what I see?!?!

I am not usually the one to criticize, but geez lady, you came here for advice! You recieved it and should have taken it VERY seriously. This poor girl is dependant upon you for her safety. IDK if you have children, (or even if you ARE a child at this point ) but would you, if this were your child want to wait to take them to the ER if it could be life threatening??? You DON'T know if it IS or ISN'T at this point! Sounds higly probable though! So why risk it?? Somebody help me here?! I'm sorry if I have offended anyone by sounding harsh. This has ruined my day unless I see good news posted!

Bonny I've reread this thread as painful as that reading is, and given syntax and word usage, it may be that this poster is young. If she is in a small town, no taxis.

So to KAS, please update us on the status of your Bailey. Our concerns are all for your dog,a nd the future health of these pups.

Most of us here, can understand if you are very young, you simply just were not ready for the challenges of whelping a dog. And all will highly encourage you/your parents to spay this female so that no one is put in danger again.

If you are young, IMO the parents are at full blame here. Not spaying a female, leaving the care of a pregnant bitch to a young adult. For shame!

I do so hope that Bailey is well.

Please update. I know some of the posts are kinda harsh but please know everyone is just worried sick about your little mama and pups. We know you are young or inexperienced and you did contact the vet and did as the vet instructed. We are all just concerned and sometimes our passion and worry can lead us to say things in a way that might not be taken well by you. II am continuing to pray for you, mama and babies

[Perrella]

Just checking back....but nothing yet.

Continuing to pray for this little girl and her babies.

[yorkietalkjilly]

This thread is just shocking and awful. Nightmare! All we can do is wait and pray - if this is not somehow a cruel hoax and I fear it isn't. Poor, poor little creatures left to care like this.

[cally930]

No word yet???

I'm praying that everything is ok.

[MauiGirl]

Obviously we don't know the whole picture, (and can only imagine) so really can't sit in judgment until we know more. About all we can do is continue to pray for a good outcome.

[yorkietalkjilly]

I can sure sit in judgment of the care as I think a dog in that condition should be at a good vet's office getting some as soon as there was a problem.

[Sammy Mommy]

I'm still hoping and praying to hear something good about Bailey and her puppies.

Ok.. here is an update. I just got off of the phone with KAS, who is a very freightened 13 year old girl and her mother.

Before I give an update, I want to say that these people have recieved hate mail and threats. I understand how we all take this seriously and care about proper breeding practices with our beloved yorkies but I have seen on this forum how some use this venue to cut people apart who do not believe as they do. Those who feel that because they belong to a certain club or they have certain credentials or they have bred a certain number of years that they are the be all and end all and they use words to belittle and degrade. You have scared this child to death, worried her family and shown your colors. Those of you who offered help without judgements and truly listened to who was speaking to you, realized it was most likely a young child who needed help and assistance thank you, your colors shown brilliantly too.

OK.. Bailey is on her way to another vet. The first vet, the one they have been in contact with since yesterday, does not have an xray capabilities so they have an appt. at 2:30 central time in a larger town that has one. Their vet believes that this is a false pregnancy, he feels no puppy but they are doing an xray to confirm. He does believe Bailey has lymes disease as her symptoms seem to indicate this, however, treatment can not be started until they are sure there is no pregnancy.

They will call me after the second appt to update..

They appreciate the help they have been given but please, let's try and maintain some calm without being so critical before we really know the entire situation. I understand how emotions can get the better of us.. I've been there myself many times.. especially when we feel someone is not doing all they can for a helpless animal.. but to send hate mail and threaten is way beyond reasonable.

Thank you for the update and the explanation I have been on pins and needles all day. It is going to be very ironic if this is just a false pregnancy. It is a shame they have received hate mail and threats. I see no good reason for someone to get so worked up over a post on the internet thjat they would do. I hope Bailey doesnt have Lyme disease. I will continue to pray for her

[BonBon]

Diana, thank you so much for that update!! And thank you for reaching out to help this child and her mother.

KAS - I'm so sorry for the hate mail and threats. I don't know what to say.

Bailey continues to be in my prayers.

Bonny

[Sammy Mommy]

I'm glad that Bailey is going to see another vet. If she has lymes, is there a treatment for it? Is it the same lymes that humans get?
