She gave me vet records but with all the excitment of bringing her home after I travelled to Michigan to get her I didn't go over them. It turns out the vet papers are only from the ORIGINAL breeder which was NOT HER and the records are only for the time up to about 20 wks til the lady bought her. She told me she bought her from long time family friends to use her to breed. I talked to this lady and had good feelings, she was a tad bit pushy for me to come get her asap so I did, I fell in love with her. I brought her home and she began to limp we brought her to the vet and he said she had Luxating Patella and she would need surgery soon. When I brought this up to the lady she became very rude and denying she EVER had any problems and a whole drama started with her. A week after that Stormy had two seizures and when I called the lady again she would not answer. I was trying to get info on Stormy from her and the lady never wanted to answer my emails or calls and after leaving her plenty of messages I just gave up and did my own investigating and found the original breeders who turn out to be a puppy mill and said this dog was born with bad knees and the lady knew and they also said they didnt even know this woman that they only met her once so she lied again. This dog was examined and also I was told she must of had her rib cage broken or was born severely deformed. Now all the pieces are falling into place and that is that this woman must of known there were issues and sold me her when Stormy was having one of her " good streaks ". This dog was also sold as PET ONLY NOT FOR BREEDING. and this woman knew that aswell so why she made up the lie that she couldn't breed her but bought her for that reason is just another lie from her.

oh wow.....Stormy has been through so much! I wish there was something I could do to help. Thanks for sharing all of that.

If the owner doesn't stay with the pet there is no appt necessary. They walk in any time, it could be very busy or in the middle of an emergency when nobody is available, or on a day you're short handed. The people who made appts expect to be seen at their appt time not wait while a walk-in is taken ahead of them. It's interesting how some people react to having to wait in some situations.

This is exactly what I wanted to say. I know you will know what is best for you and your circumstances. Whatever you decide to do, I am behind you 100%. Best wishes...

OMG, I am so mad for you right now!!!!! I hope you report this vets office! What if you're not the first person they've done this to and you certainly won't be the last! I'm so sorry you had/have to go through this!!!!!!! This just strikes a chord with me, i'm seathing mad right now. They are supposed to be PROFESSIONALS that are there to help our babies and HELP us!!!!!! They are not supposed to steal our babies from us or mis-guide us! I will keep you and Stormy in my thoughts and prayers, please keep us updated on her condition hugs.

There hasn't been any other accidents for your information, the nose incident was very traumatic and luckily she lived through that. It just goes to show how smart yorkies are, she pushed her way into the bathroom and me being stupid had left that stuff on the floor. I don't know exactly what is wrong with her for your information otherwise I would be doing something about it!

My fiancee bought me a puppy for my birthday, a shihtzu that was probably about 6 or 7 weeks old, he knows nothing about buying a pup or whatever, he bought one that was not vet checked or had shots. We got him, brought him in for a check up and shots all seemed fine with him and within 2-3 weeks after that he passed away in his sleep one night!

In your original post about this incident, you had said that you had the nair on your legs and she rubbed her nose against your leg.

If what you are saying is true, I am sorry for your stress. But IMO something does not seem right.

Many people have com on YT with an unbelievable amount of tragedy, and turned out to be trolls. So I tend to be sceptical.

[JeanieK]

You haven't been a member very long. You would be surprised how many people come on here with tragic stories, that turn out to be lies.

This one just looks suspicious to me.

If you look at it from a diiferent perspective then you will be able to believe what JeanieK is trying to say.... Not trying to be rude or insensitve at all. It is that JeanieK has been following past threads and has picked up on valid concerns ... This is what she is making.
I wish the best for Stormy. Stormy has a second chance at a new life. I hope she can make a full recovery. I am not too sure if she is out of the woods yet . Poor liitle Stormy has been through so much. I hope she is not sufferening and is not in any pain. I hope she is eating and drinking well with out being in any danger. Please take her in to the vet if she starts getting sick again. I will be praying for Precious little Stormy.

She "appears" to be better now and I've been holding her all day just thinking and I understand what some of you are saying. I want to make this clear because I am the only one who TRULY knows what I am thinking in my head and that is that I was NOT mad at this vet for "saving" her life. I am VERY thankful that he second checked her, I am VERY VERY THANKFUL FOR THIS, so for you to say that I am MAD, you all don't know! I am MAD because of my dog WAS suffering and WAS curable WHY WAS I LIED TO?!?! I would of brought her home with me and figured things out! I would of NEVER left her there to sit in a cage BY HERSELF for 5 hours especially if she was suffering!!!!! I am so glad this vet came in and thought that this dog had/has a chance. I THANKED HIM ALSO! I was extremely confused, lost, mad, happy, and sad. I had been CRYING ALL FRICKING EVENING, my eyes were sore from crying so much, my baby daughter asking me " mommy why are you sad what's wrong, where is Stormy? ". I am pissed this office handled the situation the way it did. I believe this vet may of thought he wasn't making enough cutting me some slack the last two or three times I've been in but they don't charge for rechecks and I go for rechecks always. I was JUST IN FOR A RECHECK earlier that day! I have been dealing with this place since I brought Stormy home in October. She had an accident here and that is what happen with her nose, at that time THE VET said I should put her down also! I chose not too, my mom took her home and within two weeks she came around and lived, her vet was shocked!! She has had a few other incidents that the vet told me are probably health issues that she's had. I've been doing the best I CAN by taking care of the problems as they come but yes I have been to the vet so many times now they all know Stormy there and they probably see me the most. I think sometimes I am crazy that I run there over everything excuse me for loving my dog. If there wasn't so many issues I wouldn't have a problem taking care of a dog! I haven't been able to do all the things they want to do previously because their estimates are 800+ dollars on different occasions. I wish I would of started taking her some place else but I live just down the street from them and when something happens they are the closest place to bring her so I go there.


Anyways. after alot of thinking and crying I have decided that I am going to go and talk to this vet from last night and see what he really wants with her. Does he want to really help her get better and keep her as pet or what really is going through his mind. I have to say that I am open to the thought of giving her up if that means she is going to get ALL the testing and help that will make her healthy and ALIVE! I really feel that a vet would probably be the best owner for her as with all the visits I do, it wouldn't cost him nearly as much. He is also a surgeon. I know he did surgeries on both of my FILs dogs legs. I know she will need surgery on her leg eventually because she has LP. I know that 2,500$ is way out of my budget as that is what I was quoted for that as well. I want to see what his intentions are and see the vibe I get, I don't want to just give her away to a vet because he said he can fix her and make her better. Yes it is a VERY nice gesture but what about HIS personality and so on. I am sure you guys wouldn't just give your dog away to anybody now would you? What if they were animal abusers or bad people, just because they offer to "fix" your animal doesn't mean you jump at it right away. I was going through alot the only thing I was thinking was get her out of there, she was SO SCARED!


The second vet came in because this is a 24/7 hospital. One goes home and the other comes in. The first one didn't get to her intime and she was left there to be put down. The second vet decided to look her over I guess before doing the job. He had the stuff out already all on the table, I think he was a blessing as well, I am not mad at him at all.

I am glad you are weighing all your options. I would talk to that vet since he thinks he can treat Stormy and see if he would do it for you. Whatever you decide just take your time weighing your options

[Yorkielove1]

This is outrageous to me! Every day I get on this site and the stories get crazier and crazier!! Your poor lil Stormy! I would take this like you said in your original post, its obviously not Stormy's time to go yet, but whatever you do I am sure it will be the right thing.

yorkie_mama22 - So glad to read that you are going to talk to the Vet that offered to take Stormy in as his pet and make her better

Good Luck and Please Keep us Posted

[chachi]

Actually I think you should be ashamed bjh didnt attack the op in this whole thread she just questioned some things. You on the other hand have viciously attacked bjh

[Wylie's Mom]

I think there is a lot of warranted concern on all sides of this issue. I think there is some confusion that some folks are trying to understand. Everyone clearly wants the best for precious Stormy.

Whatever your opinion, please don't name-call or attack - it doesn't accomplish anything.
