new puppy ,, sick long post sorry

[yipyap]

Well, Mike's San Francisco 49ers are now on t.v. playing the Green Play Packers.
I am sure there will be some "howls" if the 49ers make some touchdowns!!
Taffy has on his warm sweater + his little "49er's tshirt" over that! Oh, me!
The 2 boys are now having a "good time". Of course, my hubby looks like the 'weight of the world is on his shoulders'. Hope his team wins, so I don't have to watch him going around with a long face for several days.
Taffy is waiting for a chance to "howl" with Daddy, but Daddy is dead serious, so is not doing 'fun howls' yet. Hope Taffy gets to howl sometime or he'll be sad!
Have a great week! Good luck to Football/Yorkie fans! LOL-- Sue & Taffy

They said that she is really sick and if she makes it then she is going to need to go to a home that can handle a special need puppy. I can't stand the idea of not knowing where she is but I am a nurse and work 12 hour shifts 3 days in a row. My family is in and out but with what the Dr. has said she needs to be with someone who can watch out for her, baby her and medicate when needed. I felt like my heart was ripping out of my chest and even now i am second guessing myself. My head knows that she needs more attention than i can give her... so this will be my last post for now.. Maybe later i will try again with a RESPECTED breeder!!! and do lots of homework.. love and kiss on your babies!!

I'm so sorry. What a difficult decision to make. Hopefully you can get a healthy dog from a good breeder in the future. Good luck

I can only say that I hope the OP gave that poor puppy several days off of the antibiotic before making a decision.
We also felt Bear was beyond hope when he was having seizures on a regular basis. A few days off the medication and we started to see a gradual improvement that gradually brought him back to normal.
Just as some humans react differently to medications some animals also can have a reaction that is out of the ordinary.
I can tell you that there are precious few people out there that could afford to keep a pup with undiagnosed, uncontrollable seizures. Your best hope is that it was a medication reaction.
We were going to have Bear put down rather than let him continue to suffer.

I am so sorry that is is happening to you. It is a hard decision. Hugs to you

You deserve to have a healthy Yorkie pup after the horrendous time you have been through with your very first Yorkie puppy.
Perhaps there is a breeder on Yorkie Talk who has a nice, 'pet quality' pup who did not get selected due to a minor flaw..? (My Taffy was lovely overall, but had an slight undershot lower jaw, and my breeder friend knew he would eventually have to get some lower teeth pulled. He did, too, but he is such a good tempered, smart little guy. The missing lower teeth do not even show!) Oh, well, maybe some one will let you know...don't go back to a pet store.
You really need to see the puppy's parents and see what their personalities are like! You need good temperament & character as well as just good looks!!

Well, Taffy & I were so 'into' watching the 49er's football game last night that when Daddy's team scored field goals and a touchdown, we almost forgot to "howl". Then, when I tried to get our 'family-howl' going, Hubby was SO Serious about the last quarter of the playoff game that he wouldn't howl at all!! NOPE!
Taffy got very confused, Dad was not howling!! What was this!! He finally got out of Dad's lounge chair and came over to sit with me on the sofa. He looked 'let down', but finally got into playing with me & his stuffed elephant, and then he ignored the whole game after that--even though Daddy's team eventually won!
Daddy has promised to howl during the hockey game on Monday night to make-up for not participating on Sunday p.m. Oh, me!! We'll see if Taffy will join him!
