| Spay surgery due to bleeding I can't remember who wanted me to let them know why my mom was still bleeding after 9+ weeks after delivery, so I am doing another post... otherwise I would of pm'd the person. Anyways, surgery went fine, and according to the vet my "mom" was in a constant heat, without the swelling of her bottom. Her bleeding was getting worse, and her mood was not the best... this was due to the hormones of after birth, and being in a constant heat. She is now recovering great (she will still let the pups try and suckle, right next to the incision- they are over 10 weeks now) But her mood is so much better now, she is back to her ole self again... I didn't realize how much I missed that. My vet referred so many people to me for these pups that I have more people calling than I ever thought to buy one of my guys... it is quite a compliment for the vets to be referring us, but both of my boys are sold. I am keeping the girl... the vet thinks we should consider breeding her (if she grows up to be within the akc standards) but regardless of how she grows up, we are not going to continue on with my dream of breeding yorkies. I know that it was a very emotional experience for me, my emotions were increased because of the death of my long time companion 2 days before birth, which was a week early (daisy may she rest in peace) and a death of my family member (may he rest in peace)... but I think that each time I breed it will bring me back to this time in my life that I would rather forget. It may not make sense to many, but I am an emotional person.... I used to think that was a "plus" in my personality, but not any more... lol. Anyways, thanks all for the advice and help. |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | oh wow - I'm so glad things turned this good for you - it does sound like you were on a rollercoaster and being emotional is nothing to be sorry for - it just shows how much you care. I'm sorry about your recent losses - that is very tough to deal with.....but you now have adorable puppies and a healthy mom - I hope it helps ease your sorrow and congratulations on everything turning out so well. |

| We had named her Lilly, since we had to put Daisy to sleep, and her mom is Jasmine... well I wanted to stay with the "theme" lol. Her AKC name will be "Lilly of the Mississippi Valley" since we live in a valley by the mississippi river. Thank you for the responses... it was a very emotional time, and I am glad it is behind us so to speak. We do have three more deaths hanging in the air, one I believe will happen soon (step father in law) all four of our relatives (2 on my side and 2 on hubbies) were all given up to a year to live this last year... we are in month 4 to month 6. Cancer is an ugly beast sometimes. We lost one on my side this past month... sad thing is only one person is elderly... my uncle was only 56, our aunt that isn't expected to live much longer is only 53... step dad in law is 68, and then my great aunt is "elderly" she isn't giving her age up.... she is in her 80's. tmi for a yorkie board I suppose, huh? Anyways, thanks again- I was not sure if I would keep the girl, but when she was born, she needed help breathing and I wonder if that will affect her as she grows? I don't know, as of now she is "normal" but I would hate to sell a pup that possibly down the road could have an issue with not having the same amt of oxygen that she would of had if she was breathing on her own... we did breath into her nose... this went on for at least 10 min. We would have done nothing, but she would take a breath now and then, a shallow one, and just couldn't let her go without trying. She was born the biggest and had a harder time being delivered.... she is now considerbly smaller than her brothers, and isn't growing like they are... but the vet has said she is very healthy... and that I shouldn't worry about anything. She has only gained less than an oz this last week. But she is porportionate (sp?) with very dainty features. well, I have rambled on way too much... have a great day, I better get some work done... lol. |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Omg - reading your post really made me sit up - I know some of what you feel and the ages are so young ! It's really hard and emotional to know people so close to you will be no more one day - it makes us re-evaluate our lives and wonder what is in store for us when it happens so close...we feel so bad for the sick person but it does take a toll on us too...If you ever need to talk - pm me - I hope your puppies and the mom continue to make you smile and that they all get nice and fat ! |
