The other possibility would be Cushings which causes a tumor either on the adrenals OR the Pituitary & most often the Pituitary which is in the brain. Cushings can be treated but needs to be tested for by Blood. Did they give a name to the tumor & if so what is it ? If you don't know then def call & ask them.If this is a subarachnoid cyst then there is Treatment of very little expense.

I agree... brain tumors are extremely rare in Yorkies....

At 2pm today exactly my little man was put to rest.

He died in my arms with his little brown eyes looking at me.

I want you all to understand I put that little man through every conceivable test I could I believe in my heart of hearts I could do no more for him.

I have spoken to several vets and even more specialists all say the same thing and that is the brain tumour is in such a position it would be impossible to remove it and have a normal dog afterwards.

I feel so guilty that I could do no more for him.

I am sorry I cant say any more we are both devastated.

Im sorry! I believe you did the right thing to let him have peace and no more pain. I know it was very hard to do though

I Borrowed Him For A Time

I’ll lend you for a little while my grandest dog, he said.

For you to love while he’s alive

And mourn for when he’s dead.

It may be one or many years,

Or days, or months, you see.

But will you, till I take him back

Take care of him for me?

He’ll bring his charm to gladden you,

And should his stay be brief

You will have treasured memories

As solace for your grief.

I cannot promise he will stay,

Since all from earth return.

But there are lessons taught on earth

I want this dog to learn.

I’ve looked the wide world over

In my search for teachers true.

And from the throngs that crowd life’s lanes

With trust, I have selected you.

Now will you give him your total love?

Nor think the labor vain,

Nor hate when I come

To take him back again?

I know you’ll give him tenderness

And love will bloom each day.

And for the happiness you’ve known

Forever grateful stay.

But should I come and call for him

Sooner than you’ve planned

You’ll brave the bitter grief that comes

And someday you’ll understand.

I am so sorry. He knew how much you loved him and how hard you worked to save him. Now he can play happily with all the other pups at the bridge. RIP little man.

I am so sorry for your loss and your pain. I sit here crying because I know how much it hurt. Was there just a year ago.
I will be thinking about you and your family and praying that you will find peace in each other and peace in the fact that you worked so hard to keep your littleone.

I'm sorry you all had to go through this.

I am deeply sorry for your loss, and my heart breaks for you. Robbie will live on in your hearts and memories. He knows how much you loved him. I hope in time the pain lessens and your memories of your little man bring you joy. I still deeply feel the pain from losing my little ones, but I know my life is far better because of loving my precious girls. You will always feel the imprint that little Robbie has made on your lives.


Fragile Circle

"We who choose to surround ourselves with lives even more temporary than our own, live within a fragile circle, easily and often breached.
Unable to accept its awful gaps, we still would live no other way.
We cherish memory as the only certain immortality,
never fully understanding the necessary plan."

Irving Townsend.

I'm so sorry. I know you did the very best you could. This is one part of loving Yorkies that I was hoping you wouldn't have to learn about so soon. Helping them over the Bridge is the one final act of true love that we can do for them, know that you made his world better.

I love the poem you posted... I do think God takes them back for a reason though, and that is because there is another here on earth that needs you more. Only Yorkie Love can heal Yorkie heartache.

Hugs and prayers to you both, and RIP Little Robbie. Know that you are loved and greatly missed. Until we all meet again....
