| The Humane Society has notices up at Davis for special funds they have 'discounts' due to it being a learning campus-or to say because they also have so many in house things goign on, however Davis like any other veterinary care facility is expensive, part of being a pet owner is assuming those costs.

| Have you contacted her breeder ? to see if they will offer any help . If not you deff need to do so. Also the breeder needs to be notified about the Liver Shunt so they can stop breeding the parents or many others will be in the same boat that you are in. Did you contact UC Davis & ask if they will put you on a payment plan ? Last edited by lillymae; 01-24-2012 at 11:07 AM. |

| Ugh...once again it posts my reply after I hit quote instead of letting me finish. I also wanted to add that the breeder from whom you got the puppy...they did not offer any health guarantee from genetic ailments? If not...ouch, I'm sorry. All too often there are breeders who choose to feed off the emotions of humanity, and use that to sell their puppies. It's very hard to resist their cuteness...regardless of the consequences. I'll pray that you're somehow about to afford to get your puppy the surgery she so clearly needs. I echo the sentiments of a lot of YT members here; if nothing can be done, please continue to contact Rescue groups to surrender her. Yes, it would be VERY hard letting her go, but at the same time, you must realize the benefit you are giving her; a chance at a normal life with optimum health. |

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Sweet Yorkie It aches my heart to post this. But I hope that you have redone BATS to see if your low protein diet is working. The symptom picture you are describing seems to my mind to be of one of fairly high toxicity. This means your girl may only have a very limited time here to find the help she so desperately needs. Please talk to your vet to apprise yourself of the relative severity of her condition. Time can be of critical essence here. I highly urge you to make a short time frame for getting Bridgett in for surgery. I'm suggesting dependent upon what your vet says 7-10 days. This also means that you need to "now" start the conversation with a rescue, in case that your fundraising efforts bear no money or money enough to get the surgery done. I know hindsight is almost always 100%, but for other people who may stum ble across this thread; please consider seriously the financial burden of a Yorkie. If you can't afford out of pocket 2-$3 grand for extraordinary expenses' get pet insurance in place the day you buy your pup.

| oh your poor baby, maybe you can do some things to get the money for your baby.are you able to do any kind of work to raise additional money for your baby...take out a loan.. Sell non necessity things around your house for money... i can't sew but its not too hard to hem things, perhaps buy some cheap fabric and make small dog bandanas and sell them as fundraising for your baby, or maybe you know someone who can help you sew them, have a dog meetup in your town.. where eveyone buys them to attend and support your baby, or sell them at the sunday fleamarket, or make some kind of dog thing to sell and have fundraising for your baby. Go around to local stores ask for donations for a gift basket, put together a gift basket, sell tickets at dog meetups or flea market and to friends.I'm sure you will find a way to help your baby.I feel your pain and am praying for your baby.But your baby is one of the lucky ones...she has an owner who can help her and unfortunatley there are alot of other dogs out there who don't have any owners who can't do some of the things i mentioned which your capable of.so they have priority over your baby at places that fund dog care for those in need...theres so many things you can do to fundraise for your baby... if it were me i'd do that, its going to be work but i'm sure you'll get enough somehow for her. |

I also wanted to say that I just hate "Lemon Laws." I know that they are completely necessary, don't get me wrong, but they all have a thing says the breeder has the right to exchange the dog or refund the money and take the dog back instead of paying it's medical bills, and you know they will just either kill the dog themselves or have it put down. It makes it sound like all dogs are interchangeable, as well. Like you're going to say "oh, I got a broken dog, give me a new one." It's not a coffee pot from Wal-Mart, ya know?
