We just lost Lola on Sunday (http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...date-lola.html) (that whole ordeal was a nightmare) but hubby hates to see me sad and has found another yorkie. We're supposed to go get her this Sunday. Since we only had Lola one night before turning her over to the vet, I think I'm ready for this. And this time, we can't take the baby to the vet as soon as we get her since that'll be on a Sunday, but first thing on Monday morning we'll be getting her checked out. I just can't handle the heartbreak of losing another little one.

I just wanted to share my excitement with fellow yorkie-lovers.

I'm so sorry for the loss of little Lola I can't wait to see pics of your new pup. Are you getting him/her from the same breeder?

kjc · 08-13-2013, 02:15 PM

Praying all goes well with your new furbaby.

MikaTallulah · 08-13-2013, 02:41 PM

So sorry for your loss of Lola- I hope the breeder gave you a full refund since she was sick the same day you got her.

Best of Luck with the new addition.

No, we won't be doing business with them again. They were sympathetic and answered every time we called, but I just don't feel right going through them again.

The lady we got her from is on a fixed income and already spent the money we gave her but she is supposed to give us a refund on Sept 3rd. And thanks!

I just read your previous threads about Lola. I'm so sorry. That must have been a very difficult experience for you. I'm happy you found a new pup.

I think you made a good decision not to go with the same breeder. I know you brought home Lola at 9 weeks. But just so you know, it really is much easier for these little ones to transition to a new home at at least 12 weeks old. They learn a lot from their mommies in that extra month. It also gives them time to grow stronger physically. Bringing home a 12 week old puppy might be able to save you from another heartbreaking experience. I just wanted to put that out there because I'd hate for you to have to go through another week like last week. Good luck with your new baby!! Looking forward to seeing pictures!

Since your other baby had Parvo, you need to be very CAREFUL with bringing another puppy into the area. EVERYTHING must washed down with bleach. This Virus lives for a long time in surfaces.

ALSO, please I beg of you don't bring a new baby home until it's at least 12 weeks old.

I'm sorry about the loss of your Lola.

I agree wholehearted. I'm so sorry for the loss of Lola- That poor sweet baby. I know you only had her for a short time, but I do believe she will still be in your heart and soul. I wish you the best of luck with your new addition.

Lovetodream88 · 08-13-2013, 03:48 PM

Make sure your getting the pup from a reputable breeder or it could just mean more heart break. A reputable breeder will not let the puppies go to there new homes before 12 weeks, they get health checks and any available genetic testing done on both breeding dogs, they have breed for awhile to know there lines to make sure there is no illnesses in the lines, they have a spay and neuter contract, the dogs are registered with the AKC, they don't use the words teacup and micro, and you can see where the pups and parents are living.

Kataliadre · 08-13-2013, 03:57 PM

Thanks for your concern, everyone. With Lola, she actually was supposed to be 13 weeks. That's what her papers said. But the lady that we got her from took her to the vet and on those papers it said she was 9 weeks. We're still trying to figure that all out. Lola was tiny so there's no way she was 13 weeks, but when we agreed to buy her, we thought she was.

This new baby will be 12 weeks when I get her on Sunday, so *fingers crossed* everything should go smoothly this time.

And we have bleached everything Lola came into contact with (it wasn't much, as she was only here for a little bit) but if the new baby has her parvo shot, she won't get it, will she?? Or is there still a chance she will get it? This is my first real experience with parvo, so I'm not great with it. :-/

marcie · 08-13-2013, 04:13 PM

Very good that you cleaned everything that your pup came into
contact with. Maybe even to buy new things wouldn't be a bad idea.
Good luck with your new baby and follow the members advice on YT.
Looking forward to pics.

I don't have any experience with Parvo. Hopefully someone else will be able to give you some advice about that. Or you could give your vet a call just in case. Congrats on your new puppy! So glad to hear she's 12 weeks old. I wish you the best of luck. Keep us updated!

cummins · 08-13-2013, 04:42 PM

So sorry for your loss but a new baby will help you heal. We live pictures and good luck with your new little one

They are not immune until about two weeks after there last set of puppy shots. Which is around 16 weeks old I think.

I'm sorry about your loss of Lola. I have no experience with Parvovirus, but I've heard from member Yorkiemom that Virkon S is the only thing that works effectively to kill the Parvovirus. I wish you health and happiness with your new baby.
