Well, I might of had one of the oldest yorkie in here. My Lacey was born on January 11, 1992. She died on June 30, 2005 from kidney failure. So, she was 13 years, 5 and half months old when she died. We had a chihihua that lived to be 17 years old. |

If you have a senior yorkie, this is my advice. One of the number #1 killer in senior yorkies is kidney failure. Shortly after Lacey's 13th birthday, we noticed some changes in her behavior. She started throwing up yellow stuff. My mom thought it was just something she ate off the floor that made her sick. Then, she completly lost her appetite and she loved to eat. We would put her dog food out and she did not want to eat. Lacey was only 4 pounds and could not afford to lose any weight at all. She would started drinking frequently. Staying by her water bowl for minutes at a time and urinating frequently. My mom took her to the vet and that is when we got the terrible news that Lacey's kidneys were failing. We had to bring her to vet for fluid shots 3 times a week just to keep her alive. It was so sad. We also had to give her medicine through a syringe. Everytime she saw the syringe, she knew. Her little face would go down like she was fixing to cry. My heart bled for her. We kept her alive for almost 3 months and then she took a turn for the worse. And we had to put her to sleep. As painful as that was, it was even more painful to watch her in so much pain. My poor little baby. So, if you have a senior yorkie, watch for changes in his or her behavior. If they show any syptoms like stated above, please take them to your vet ASAP. Don't wait. |
That is exactly what happened to Megan. She was 13 years old and weighted 3.5 lbs. I took her to the vet after awhile and she passed away there a couple of days later. I feel like I waited too long. |
Sabrina will be 10 this January! Time flies when you're lovin yorkies. |
