New to Yorkie Talk
 

Hello,
I thought it would be a good time to introduce myself. :D My name is Kim, and I just found this board yesterday. I was looking for more info on vaccines...etc... and I already got some very helpful replies. I can tell this is a great site and that it has alot of wonderful people who love their pets and are very knowledgeable.
A little about my yorkie story...I purchased a yorkie and she was just a great little dog. Long story short, we got her rabies shot and she passed away shortly after.:rbyorkie: I contacted the breeder and she offered another pup to me, but at the time I just couldn't do it. It has been over a year since my little Evee Queen, and I still miss her very much. (she was about 9 months old). I talked to the breeder recently and she has a litter due, so I will probably be getting my little one in a few months, around January.

Thank you very much for your time, and I look forward to making new friends.

Hello,
Thank you to all for the warm welcome. I will definately be here to share when I get my new little one. There is so much information on here, I love it. We are in the Palm Springs area, so the valley here is protecting us from th smoke, I thought, "we are a few hours away it won't reach us", but the other day we did get a little smoke and some ash when the winds were bad down south. Luckly since it is so hot here usually most people keep their pets inside, and have different cooling units that keep the smoke out. :) but thank you for the thoughts and concern. :D
Thank you, and again very nice to meet you all :aimeeyork

Hi Hi Hi From OKLAHOMA!!!! :) :) :) :)

Where in CA are you? I have a great vet in So. Cal.

I'm so sorry your baby passed away. It's awful that a routine vaccination took her life. My vet gives "Holistic" doses - Just enough to satisfiy the law. He is one of the few vets who believes pet are over vaccinated.

PM me if you want more info.

oh, Kim, that is so sad .:cry:... did the rabies shot have anything to do with her passing?

I am so sorry to hear your story. My heart would be broken also.:unlove:
I hope you get a new baby to help you heal, and that everything goes smoothly.
You came to the right place to meet nice people with great advice.:love:

and welcome to YT!

Hello,
I would be very interested in your "holistic" vet. I looked online yesterday and the closest ones I found were in Hollywood, but I would be willing to drive, no problem. I am in the Cochella Valley, (Palm Springs Area).
Thank you All

:welcome4: :Pawprint:YT is definately a great place. You can get great advice a few laughs & even have a good cry because we've all been there hope to here more from you & sorry for your loss.

My goodness, I am so sorry you lost your baby! :( YT is a great place with tons of great people and lots of super advice. Good luck with your new Yorkie! How exciting!

Welcome!
 

Sorry about the little one. This is a great place, so much info, so many extra nice people (I think yorkies make us better humans)1!:p

Welcome..so sorry to hear about your baby..Did she die from the rabi shot?

Hello,
The rabies shot is what we believed caused her death. Since she was so small I was kind of scared to get it in the first place, but the vet kept saying to get it, so I told him I would wait til she was a bit bigger to get it. (9 months). We got her the shot and I even waited at the vets office for a little just in case. The next morning I took her out as usually to play with before I went to work, then when I got back a few hours later she had passed away in her bed. :( I called the breeder and we talked about it, and she was a healthy, gorgeous little gal before the shot and even had a vet check and everything, then after the shot she was gone.
Thats originally why I found YT :D Cause I wanted to see peoples opinions on the subject. I found a few studies that had to do with rabies, and I have foundthat quite a few people have opted not to give there little ones rabies shots. I have also found that there are some vets that will give shot according to the dogs size, and that is what I would love to find. I went on a site that had a list but the closest one is in Hollywood, and their last training date was like 99'. I am willing to travel for a good vet, and then have one in my area in case of emergencies. (I can't find a holistic vet in my area)

Welcome to YT. You'll find a lot of helful people here.

I know mine is supposed to get her rabi shot in 2 weeks(she will be 15 weeks), I don't understand why they can't wait awhile longer with her, heck, she doesn't even go outside(she's pee pad trained)..I've just never heard of one dying from a rabi shot though..

welcome to yt!!!! :wavey:
