Yoda, came from an unfortunate evil breeder and I decided it was my job to rescue him. In the past I had Maggie, which passed when my mother became terminally ill, and I had Snickers, who was stolen right out of my front yard right in front of me!
Yoda is the cutest lil boy I have ever seen he weighed a whopping 1lb 10 oz. I took him to the vet the very next day and he had ear mites and coccillitis, both treatable with medication. Day #3 turned into Nightmare#1. Yoda began vomitting, lethargic, and had to interest in food or water. I was up with Yoda all night long and as soon as our wonderful vet opened in the morning, we were there. Within 5 minutes, Dr. April, diagnosed Yoda with PARVO. She was very unsure as to whether Yoda would make it or not. Yoda has had his up's and down's since being there but Dr. April called me this afternoon and Yoda is coming home tomorrow! My family couldn't be happier! He is down to 1lb. 5 oz but he is on his way to full recovery!
Princess Laya, is almost 4 weeks old. She weighs a whopping 10oz. She will come home to us on May 15th!
These precious babies are pets and NEVER will a be part of a mill. These 2 are the only 2 that I own and the only 2 I will own as long as they are in our homes!
I have surfed around here a few times and found very interesting and helpful posts! You guys are great! |
I'm so glad for you that Yoda pulled through this horrible ordeal. I don't mean to be the bearer of bad news but you may have a problem when you bring the other puppy home in May. Parvo is very contagious (and hangs around for quite awhile). If Yoda had any vomiting or feces on your floor, your yard, or anywhere else the little girl will come into contact with she will be exposed to Parvo also. You may want to have your little girl's breeder hold on to her longer to make sure she completes her vaccination series before bringing her home. Again, I don't want to upset you or be a black cloud but I also want you to be prepared to have another sick little one if you bring home the new baby before she is completely protected. Hopefully that won't happen and both puppies will do well. Congradulations on your new family members and welcome to Yorkie Talk.
