My poor baby was de-barked :( - YorkieTalk.com Forums

good_gurl63901 · 12-04-2008, 07:27 AM

I rescued my Zoe from a shady lady that was running a puppy mill.. (NOT anymore!!

) Well I had been worried about her 'barker' for awhile, I have had her for over a month and never heard her make a peep.. A few nights ago we were napping on the couch.. at 2 am her bros had to potty.. when they were ready to come in they were raising cain and I guess it scared her and she started 'barking' it was the saddest thing EVER! I am so sad!! I have read about how they do that, but my own baby had it done

( I have noticed when she is really thirsty and she drinks a lot she kinda coughs a bit... I wonder if she is going to have throat problems???

Oh my gosh, that sounds awful!! I've heard that mentioned before, but don't know what it is. How on earth do you de-bark a dog???

yorkie_mama22 · 12-04-2008, 07:33 AM

this sounds alot like my Stormy. I have heard her bark a hand full of times in the last two months. It took her a while to bark. And she also somtimes coughs a little bit after she drinks too fast I notice. Give your little rescue a little more time, they need the extra patience and TLC I have noticed it takes them alot longer to come around. I think it all depends on how comfortable they feel in your home. The few times Stormy has barked it is when someone knocked at the door and she would start barking. She doesn't do it everytime, I notice it's when she feels shes the queen of the house lol

no sound came out when she 'barked' just a weezy sound!!!

yorkie_mama22 · 12-04-2008, 07:58 AM

oh no, mine doesn't sound like that, so sorry to hear that, I just know it took my baby a while to bark, how horrible

good_gurl63901 · 12-04-2008, 08:06 AM

Well there are 2 ways.... you can pay a vet to surgically do it, but fro what i have read... DO NOT READ IT YOU ARE SQUEAMISH~~

They take a metal rod and 'ram' it down their throats to destroy the voice box im so sad

That poor baby. Glad you rescued her and she's safe now.
It's sick what people do to helpless animals. They will get their's
on day. An eye for an eye I hope.

Congratulations and good luck with your new baby.
I am sure you have already made it up to her over and over.

Oh how sad! Poor baby at least now she has you and shes not living in those conditions any more

hugz4all4 · 12-04-2008, 08:25 AM

oh my gosh..how sad.

My uncle had a dog that was debarked, they got it from friends of thier and didnt like it barking all the time.

Anyways when he would bark it was a wheezing sound too kinda like he was coughing.
I didnt think Vets did debarking anymore?

Sookie · 12-04-2008, 08:26 AM

Your post made me feel so sad. I think the sound of a de-barked dog is the worst sound in the world. I'm glad she found a great home with you.

good_gurl63901 · 12-04-2008, 08:26 AM

She is the BEST dog! She follows me EVERYWHERE! I feel guilty getting up when she is sleeping, I hate for her to wake up for me to get up to pee lol. I feel so adored by her!

Can you imagine an 8 yr old dog that has NEVER been in a house? never been hugged or kissed? all she did was pop out pups! She lives a VERY luxurious life now

lol She even has a velvet type dress w/'pearls' lol

LilMissy · 12-04-2008, 08:30 AM

Awww, I'm so glad she has you for a Mommy now.

Lexi Rae · 12-04-2008, 08:31 AM
