Exactly! The OP loves her puppy very much and is doing everything right for her little Yorkie... Let's not be critical and be supportive . It does not help to be posting unkind words without even reading every post on this thread... Be careful what you write, because some of you have been very hurtful.... Thank you.

yes i've done alot for him, it hurts to see all the harsh post but I understand you care about yorkies alot too. I do have the money to pay for him just not right away. My friends and family are being supportive and helping me with the funds. the second vet thinks that he was actually born with neurological problems because his skull is not fully developed. He said the soft spot should fully close by now (14 weeks) but there is still an opening.

Thank you for everyones support, I'm glad there is a place like this because i would just buy books and google my questions online but now there is a place where I can ask questions from knowledgeable owners. Cody is doing well today, he's running around my room eating normally. The only thing different is he doesn't come when you call him, he just looks away or walks away.

I am so glad you are able to get your baby help. i hope he is doing well/better today.

don't take the posts personal, people are just really worried, and there are times when people sign up for an account and make a post just to upset people. that's why people were originally saying the stuff about troll.

if you need more help or have more questions. make sure you ask, there are a lot of people on here that have a lot of experience, and they will be able to help you or show you where to find answers.

welcome to yorkietalk!

And i will never give him up because I would feel like I'm giving up on him. I would rather go broke then to give him away. I buy him so many treats, snacks, toys and food and I'm just sitting there in my room hungry with no food for myself around.

i am glad cody is doing well today. he doesn't want to come when you call him because he might still be scared about getting stepped on. (can't blame him)

did you read my suggestion about putting a bell on him? you should try that. i think it will help people know where the little one is. he is so small, and it is easy to step on them when they are always running around under people's feet!

lets make sure little cody doesn't get stepped on again! poor little guy!

Thank you, this was my first time posting and I know I just needed some help. I feel so welcomed and wished we can all meet in person and have our babies play.

I'm so glad he's doing better. Welcome to YT!! Please post pictures of Cody soon, we'd love to see him.

I also thought I had pet insurance since i paid so much for the petsmart banfield optimum welness plan but that doesn't cover the serious stuff. Can anyone reccommend a good pet insurance?

I am so happy that Cody is doing better. Welcome to YT! Sorry- can't offer advice on pet insurance but I'm sure you'll get lots of responses from people who do know about it.

i don't know about the pet insurance but one thing you can try to do is research online for a good vet. (read people's reviews) it is really important to have a good vet that you can trust. i researched online to find a good vet in my area. it makes such a big difference. i feel comfortable going to him, and i know he will not try to trick me into doing unnecessary stuff for my furkids just to make more money.

he makes me feel that he really care about my animals, and would not recommend unnecessary procedures if they are not truly needed.

do you feel comfortable going to the petsmart vet? if you need help looking for a good vet in your area, you can also ask around both here and people you know besides reading reviews online.

I hate banfield, they are a big scam! I have used many different insurances and I've been with this company for a couple of years and really like them:

Pet Insurance from PetFirst Healthcare

[krysvo]

yeah I do feel like petsmart is a scam especially their over priced medicine and after reading so many reviews on banfield and lawsuits with their grooming. People shouldn't trust big companys and franchise. On another good note two pet stores around my mall are closed down

[mscat]

That is very good news... People are much more educated now more then ever, and are not buying animals at pet stores anymore! Most of the puppies and kittens there are from puppymills Again, I'd like to comment on how much care and love your given to your little puppy... PLacing a bell on him is agreat idea. I hope Cody keeps making improvments on his way to recovery...
