I am not sure where this place is located, I am in Canada.

I am so sorry about your situation. Have you tried Canadian Yorkshire Terrier Rescue? Maybe call them and talk to them?

yorkie_mama22 · 01-26-2009, 05:50 PM

I will look into this tomorrow. I wouldn't mind traveling somewhere to get her some help. I don't know if I want to place her that far away, I believe they ship their dogs all across Canada. I would really like to see her often IF I had to give her up.

Of course I am thinking the worst that it could be something else? Maybe liver ? I know she had two seizures in early November and the doctor wasn't sure, he had some ideas but gave her some inflammatory shots and she got back to normal, I thought it may of been her low blood sugar. Then she had the accident and almost died, the vet wanted me to give her a few weeks to get back to normal before any type of surgery. She was amazingly great until this morning

I don't know what she could of got into the only things I can think of is the garbage, maybe some candy or a popcorn kernel, my daughter had threw some on the floor. SHe was fine last night and my hubby slept with her and said she was not acting any different at all last night. So perhaps this morning something happen? I woke up at 9am. She had a bone in her bed that she enjoys chewing, she was chewing it last week and bit alot off while chewing. Maybe the same thing happen now? I don't know. I am just hoping this passes. Right now I am home by myself, my hubby had to go out to run errands.

Was the throw up yellow bile? If Sadie and chewy don't eat enough they get this... I make sure there is always food for them, sometimes in the morning they throw up a little... then after a while they eat and are just fine. maybe this is all it is...

So many times, I start to worry and think about the worst...and it turns out to be nothing at all! I hope that's it in this case. Maybe Stormy just had a little upset stomach for whatever reason today, and tomorrow she will be back to normal!

What type of bone is she chewing? Maybe that is making her sick.....

yorkie_mama22 · 01-27-2009, 06:45 AM

It was a pig bone. She had some at my moms two weeks ago because the boxer has one and she was fine so I picked her one up. I believe now though it may be an ear infection. We are going to the vets in an hour so we will know for sure.

TeresaM · 01-27-2009, 07:05 AM

I don't have any advice, but my heart aches for you and Stormy.

I will keep you both in my prayers

and hope is something simple like an ear infection. If her sense of balance is off, it could be affect her tummy too. You know, like motion sickness.

I can't think of the name of the company that helps with loans for pet care. I'm sure another YT'er will know the name. Perhaps you can look into that also.

Hmmm now I am wondering if perhaps this bone may of upset her stomach. But it still doesn't make sense why she is pawing at her face. She has a couple baby teeth in that the vet wants to pull but this is what we were waiting for to do because we needed her to heal up with her nose first before any surgery. Could the teeth be causing her pain and therefore she is pawing at it??? I've never run into these problems and I myself or when I had dogs growing up had so many problems with a dog. I just really feel that the previous owner ignored some things with this poor baby. She was doing SO well for two weeks she was amazing, running playing, so happy. She deserves to be happy and well. I am going to call the vet and see how much it will be to run some blood tests. I just don't know because "looking" for what may or may not be wrong can turn expensive. And if she turns out that she may have a liver problem then I know I can't pay for surgery that is for sure. I mean she has some signs that it may be that but I dunno for sure and I know the only way to know is to do some blood tests.

How close are you to Michigan? I am in Livingston County and I found on the Humane Society website some programs for when an emergency comes up and the family can't pay the bills and they put the animal asleep. The funds helps pay for the medical costs so the family doesn't have to put the animal asleep. Maybe this is something you could look into or might find local.

hviola · 01-28-2009, 03:33 PM

Im so sorry you're going through this with your sweetie.

Heres an idea that you can do in addition to what youre already doing.

Have you thought about going to a library or university and checking out some dog care/vet books? Maybe if you do a little research on the symptoms, you can narrow it down so finding the cause may be easier. Or do some research on the internet.

KcLejon07 · 01-30-2009, 03:27 PM

I had the same issue with my little boy. He had so many problems we ended up paying almost $3000 in vet bills only to have him put down. The vet couldnt bring himself to put him down and we took him to Alabama to get checked for liver shunts. The breeder never told us he was a runt and he had four seizures within one hour

! That was nearly a year ago now we are finding out he is cryptorchid!! ONE TESTICLE!!

This is a genetic problem so we are taking her to court. We told her from the beginning we were going to show him and breed him with a little girl we bought from her but now we cant even register him. Plus the girl may be a carrier since the have the same grandfather!!I know your pain take her to court and make sure she never sells a puppy again.

I don't know anything about the dental anatomy of dogs with their sinuses but I would think that would be a great possibility. I know I had dental work done on one of my top, side teeth. I also had a terrible sinus infection at the time. The dentist said their was just a very, very thin layer of tissue that she left in the hole and my sinuses were on the opposite side of that tissue. My tooth hurt like **** for 3-4 weeks and I had to take pain medicine for it. She said it was because the sinuses were inflamed and were pushing down on the paper thin layer of tissue and it was pushing against all the work she had done and there are lots of nerves in there. She said had I not had that bad sinus infection, I would have only had pain for 1-2 days, if that.

I realize I'm comparing a human to a yorkie, but does this sound like something like this could be happening to Stormy?

yorkie_mama22 · 02-02-2009, 06:50 AM

I assume it could be the problem, she didn't have her teeth cleaned or taken care of before with the previous owner. I wish I would of looked at her teeth before getting her but I didn't know what to look for or what to check for and turns out my baby had everything wrong I should of knew about!
