Maybe she wanted some BREED SPECIFIC advice from folks who might have experience with tiny little babies. Why the 3rd degree when she's obviously trying to help the little guy? Isn't that what's important at the end of the day?

:thumbup: I quite agree. This is the best place to come for support and understanding the breed so perhaps that why she reached out to YT. I'm so glad this pup came to her attention and that she came to this forum for advice.

First off... I am free to say what I like. Secondly, I am in no way giving her the third degree. If the real 'third degree' people decide to post here you would see my questions do not compare. When you see these crazy stories people post here that make no sense and you never hear the outcome of the pup after... hmmm... I think the most recent one I saw was a dog who ate something poisonous and has been throwing up for days and should they take them to the vet because their 'limp'...? You'll start to question too and wonder if people are trolling or something to explain why things don't add up. I will always answer these emergency posts if no one has given an answer, but that does not mean I can't question the legitimacy if something doesn't add up. I doubt I am the only person who feels something is off here. I just choose to mention it. MY choice.

Let’s not make this into a back and forth conversation. The OP came here looking for help- Let’s help to what we can and save the other stuff for another day.

OP- I hope and pray this sweet little baby gets better soon.

The point of me saying that was me wondering where is the support system for this extend rescue operation that is run through a pet store? Is the pet store incompetent in caring for the lives they are supposed to be saving? Aren't their regulations on these things? Coming to yorkie talk is not the problem. Coming to yorkie talk because she doesn't have the proper support and resources is. From what she has said, she did not just get a pup and bring them home. This is supposed to be a professional arraignment with the backing of a pet store, rescue, and vet. Is there not a policy on how to care for one of these fosters at home? Who to call? Emergency vet number? This concerns me.

I'm not questioning anyone's freedom of speech on this board. I simply felt that certain posts were unnecessarily abrasive and accusatory.

I'm out.

Good luck to the OP.

Questions lead to answers. Assuming is another. I just ask in general. Din't even ask the OP specifically. Your entitled to your opinion.

You are 100% right. :thumbup:

Nancy1999 02-18-2013 02:02 PM
I’m concerned because I don’t believe a reputable rescue works this way. The OP says,
Quote:
"At any given time we have 25-30 puppies in our care. It's my job to get them healthy again, socialize them, and find them forever homes. some parts of the job are just awful (poo patrol being one of them), especially when one of my little guys gets sick, but it's worth it knowing they avoided a needle.”
That’s way too many puppies for one person to handle, especially someone who hasn’t been trained. Yes, she says some go with volunteers until they can be placed, but how about the others? While rescues do sometimes spend the day at our local Pet Smart, they are in charge of adoptions, and they don’t leave the puppies overnight unattended, in fact, I’ve never seen a puppy, its adult dogs that need help with placement. The OP doesn’t say how young these dogs are, but it concerns me that they are left alone overnight. What rescue would do this? Are people donating money to this rescue and then they give up all responsibilities to a pet store? I’m not blaming the OP for the situation, it’s not her store, but I wonder if she’s being fed a line of bull by management, and management is buying puppies from local puppy mills, who claim to be rescues? Even if the whole thing is true, I would say, that other things need to be addressed, such as does the town have enough low cost spay and neuter clinics? Finally, what rescue would allow these dogs to be placed without being spayed and neutered; this most certainly needs to be done. This thread address so much more than one Yorkie with hypoglycemia.

AGREED :thumbup::thumbup: Some people are questioning why I am questioning something that does not seem normal. It's not about the OP it's the situation that is alarming. Period.

KendraE 02-18-2013 02:26 PM
Well, for the sake that this situation IS real, I commend the op for taking the pup home and getting it to the vet right away. I also hope the op does not vanish, because I would definitely love to hear the outcome of this poor little guys story!!!

Op, what is the name of your organization?

gracielove 02-18-2013 02:56 PM
It may be that the original owner knew this puppy was sick and decided to drop it off thinking maybe someone else would foot the bill for her. I am concerned that if this puppy is actually the age the vet estimated that it may have one of the many genetic issues that Yorkies tend to carry. If so I don't think this pet store is ready to handle the kind of vet fees this puppy would incur.

Maybe consider contacting a Yorkie rescue that might be able to help this poor baby. Rescues tend to get stretched to the max so it could take time to find one that has room for it. It might be a good idea to start looking now. If it turns out the puppy is fine then no harm done. I am suspicious because it would be very unusual for a breeder of purebred dogs just drop off a Yorkie puppy unless they knew there was a problem.

You might want to try doing something I personally cannot do which is ignore those who post about something other then the pup or that are mean or rude. I would like to know how the little guy is doing.

Lovetodream88 02-18-2013 03:12 PM
Come on guys lying or not she needs help with the pup why not just help her? Nothing any of the humans in his life have done is his little fault.

Please update me as I would like to know how he is doing...I truly hope the vet can find some answers and a prognosis for this little one. I'm sorry this little guy is going through this.
Passions can and do run high in some threads where the op asks for help and never comes back to update....glad you are still here.
Something I have never been able to do....ignore the posts you find offensive, keep in mind we all want what is best for the pups.

LOL at you Taylor...it might have been one of those posts that got delayed...it was there when I was reading....sorry hun, but that was funny.

MishyMish 02-18-2013 03:41 PM
I don't think anyone said she was lying. I hope the puppy has a complete turn around. If he does, are you going to keep him or foster?

chestermama 02-18-2013 03:45 PM
I hope he is better soon

I totally agree with this.

Regardless, it's not the little one's fault this is happening.

it probably was delayed, I have voiced this as a problem over and over and I see the OP had to repost because her post did not show, very confusing for someone trying to get help to have you post delayed half a day.

I bet the person dropping off the pup must have known something was up. Let's face it yorkies, especially the tiny ones command a decent dollar so why would someone just drop it off when they could sell it. very sad, hoping for a good outcome.

ladyjane 02-18-2013 04:12 PM
OP, I am curious as to the name of this pet store that does adoptions.

No, if you look at the times, Taylor and the OP were posting at the same time. So the post wasn't there when Taylor started her post.

me to, not sure why they would want to keep it a secret, if you have pups up for adoption get the word out anyway and as often as you can

Absolutely! I actually was curious because I had family who lived there not long ago. I guess I can just ask them..they probably know.

did not look at that, but I the OP did have some posts held and the same thing happened on two other threads I was on today

puppywub 02-18-2013 04:22 PM
I'm sorry for not updating right away I have just been very upset. I got a call from our vets office at4:15. Peanut did not make it. He just Called with the necropsy results.
He had a portostentic shunt. Thank you everyone who offered advice and kind words. I'm sorry I just don't know what else to say right now.
