Does This Mean Anything? My Mom's Yorkie had 4 pups. I am getting the little girl Hannah. She will be 3 weeks old on Friday. The first 2 days all she did was cry, even while eating. The Mommy was so disgusted she threw her out of the box a couple of times and then hurried up & put her back in. She took her to my Mom a couple of times like she was saying, "Do something!" Then Hannah finally settled down & just eats & sleeps like her brothers. Yesterday we had them at the vets getting the stitches out of their tails. I held each one belly up while they removed the stitches. I made sure Hannah was last as any little disturbance for her she starts crying. The others cried but laid their getting stitches removed. But not Hannah. I thought I was going to hurt her just trying to stay hold of her - she was going every which way. And she screamed bloody murder. The vet said, "I feel sorry for whoever gets her!". I said, "That would be me", & laughed. Does this mean she is going to be feisty & strong willed? Just wondering. I love her already but I am curious as to those with experience with puppies. |
She probably will be. But take it from someone who has a strong willed puppy, they are lots of fun. They do eventually grow out of some of their babyness but not all. I bought her a tank top that says "Drama Queen". By the way your baby is ADORABLE! My little girl is so strong willed, but even more loving than that. She is just a cuddle bear too. |
tails This is one for the books. Is this vet living in the dark ages? Vets have been using dissolving sutures for years. Why put a puppy through an unnescessary vet visit..and the discomfort? |
totally agree Pat, why is a vet still using stitches? mine uses glue when he can or disolvable stitches. He also lazers the tail over and done with in a quick second! |
My dear little Sampson (Maltes) is the biggest crybaby in the world. Every time we go to the vet, he finds a reason to cry and most of the time the vet has not even come near him yet. BUT, that said, he is one strong, feisty, tenacious little dude! He is 5 pounds and he can beat up an 8 pound yorkie!! |
I don't want to contribute to this thread going off topic, but I was wondering the same thing yesterday when they shceduled Buddha for suture removal in two weeks. My cat was spayed recently and they used a dissolvable on the insdie and some sort of "glue" on the outside. When do they use absorbable and when do they use non-absorabale and is it vet preference? Hannahtized! You are so lucky to be getting little Hannah imo! If you look the thread about my daughter's yorkie, Buddha, and what a wimp he is, I also mentioned what a sweetheart he is. I think, like people, that some yorkies have a higher pain threshold than others. I have a feeling that hannah will be a very special puppy and you will be so glad that she is yours! |

I already plan on going to a different vet than the one my Mom goes to. He didn't weight the pups when they were born & they have been twice already and he hasn't weighed a pup yet??? Besides that, he's foreign & I can't hardly understand him. I want to be able to ask questions & get answers. The pups were 5 days old when the tails were done - maybe that's why they needed stitches?? The Mama dog had a C-section & was spayed afterwards & he used metal stitches there as well. I'd rather have the disintegrating ones. |
vet Not sure why vets pick one type of closure over another. I can not remember mine using removable sutures for a long time. Glue for spaying/neutering is what I am used to.....I haven't gone to a vet for tail docking in years, so I don't know what is the lastest until Kimberly posted. I know old time sutures are nothing but a place for infection. Wipe the tails daily with proxcide. I am told metal sutures are best for sections...less risk of infection. I ask for sutures. A c-section incision is usually much longer then a spay..6 inches opposed to 3. I am not comfortable with glue for a large opening. JMO |
