Tinsel Update. not good. Just got off the phone with the vet. Tinsel had a long series of sezuires last night. and is barely responding to treatment. She's recomanding to put him to sleep. no sooner he comes out of one he's having another. I'm heartbroken. and not sure what to do. She said if they could stablized him,there might be brain damage. and a host of other troubles. he wasn't eating well before. and she was telling me that he aslo had a cleft lip? {I know about human babies is it the same for a puppy??} I'm calling her with my decesion in an hour. I know my heart says save him. but my brain says he's suffering. sigh.... any one with any ideas?? Eggs |
Wow, that does not sound encouraging.. how old is he? |
OMG, yes cleft lip is the same for Yorkies as humans. They frequently have other developmental problems in the same organs that are forming when the cleft lip/palate occurs. In other words, rarely are we lucky enough to see an isolated congenital defect; sometimes there are heart or neuro problems. I had a human foster baby years ago who had a severe cleft palate/lip. He also had fused fingers and toes, mental retardation AND dextrocardia-his heart was on the right side. Those things all happenend at the same time during development in the utersu. I am just giving you some more info that might or might not play into your decision..Best of luck and prayers are being said. |
Tinsel The vet believes 5-6 weeks old. if he's lucky. I'm thinking I'm going to have to put him down. so far what I research on the net. kinds gives me the idea it would be better for him. He's a little peke/pom/yorkie cross that I adopted from some people who couldn't care for him. I've his sister who I got from the owner who was giving them away Christmas eve. She's doing super. I just got him from the poeple who took him and they were feeding him hard kibble and kept him outside with thier Rott. not knowing the whole story anything could have happen. they called me and asked me if I'd buy him from them for the ten dollars I offered them that night. I got him on Sunday. and I knew he was having troubles. alittle vent some people are just jerks. and I get nagged at cause I'm a dairy farmer. dang. I love my GIRLS! yes there cows but I handraised all of them from day one right along with thier Mamas. and I'd be shot if I'd do this to another animal. vent off. |
Sounds like you putting him to sleep, might be the best option for him, Poor little guy, that is so sad, but you did your best and helped them out, and still have his sister.. after what whispermom2 said, I think that would be your only option,and I'm sure the vet would not steer you in the wrong direction. I'm sorry you have to make such a hard decision. :( |
That decision is a tough one and I hope to never be in your shoes. Best of luck to you and little Tensel. Mythoughts are with you. |
Tinsel I'm going to put him down. I hate this,but Beth my vet was trying to steer me that way. She knows I'd put my soul into saving him if it was possible. but it's not really. I'm going to go offline now. going to her office and be with him for abit. might be on later eggs |
I will be out for the day with another member whose Yorkie and sis died suddenly. You will be on the minds of both of us as we share the day. I pray that the answer will come to you in such a clear manner(I prefer to think that God lets us know the answer, and that we have the wisdom to know He is telling us) that you will have no doubts about the morlity of your decision. I will back you in whatever you decide as others on here will. BTW, if you do not believe in God, I apologize if I have offended you. |
What a difficult choice! I will keep yoth in my prayers today! :hug: |
This is a very difficult decision . You will be in my thoughts and prayers . |
I'm sorry,, for your loss and that you have to go through this, and for him, poor little thing. |
I am so, so sorry. The decision to put down is the hardest, I think sometimes harder than losing them suddenly because you wrestle with yourself so on if it's the right thing to do. You're a very caring, giving person, I can tell that from just reading you. You tried your best to give him a really loving home, and that's more than you could have ever done for him. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers. I hope that you are doing well with your decision, which from the sounds of everything sounds like the right one. :tinyheart |
I'm so sorry to hear this. Just know that the love that you gave him in his final days were enough for him to have a happy life. If you had not stepped in he would have passed a very sad and lonely pup. He was lucky to have you even for the short time he did. God bless. |
oh my im am so sorry to hear this. i will pray for you ok... |
pup Best wishes to you. It is very heartbreaking..but please know this little puppy was so fortunate to have found you. He is no doubt meant to be an angel in doggie heaven, instead of an angel on earth..sorry. |
I'm sure that he can feel your love for him, and knows that you've done all that you could. I am so sorry that you are faced with this decision. |
My heart goes out to you and will be praying for you! |
My heart goes out to you. I am so sorry, but I believe you have done the very best and have made the best decision for that little one. |
I'm so sorry. I know this is so hard, but seizures are really bad stuff. My brittany is having them more and more often now herself. She is 13 years old. And now her drool is bloody. Our vet said the same thing - it's getting to be about that time. But we were prepared for this. What you are going through - all I can do is offer my prayers and emotional support via here. Regardless of how long you have had your baby, it's your baby and this is just heartwrenching. God bless you with wisdom, comfort, and peace. |
My heart goes out to you. Tinsel was lucky to have you and your love in his short life. |
Oh I am so sorry for you and little Tinsel I know that you searched your soul long and hard to make this decision, and I firmly believe you are doing the right thing. This baby began in a world of hurt, and there is little sense in keeping him there, although I know you would have offered him all the comforts possible. He would have suffered way too much, and you right along there with him. You are doing the right thing. Never second guess that, and no regrets. My heart goes out to you! Give your little girl a big hug from me! :p |

So sorry that you have to make that decision. Out wiener dog injured his back and we rehabilitated him only to have it happen and paralize him 6 months later. We also were faced with the same thing. You are a great person who has done everthing you can do. You need to reassure yourself that you tried to do what you can, but sometimes that is not enough to make them comfortable. So you must make sure they do not suffer, it is hard, but it is the best thing for them. My heart goes out to you... |

Again, I am so sorry for Tinsel and you... |
I am so sorry to hear that :( I hope everything turns out ok. we will be prayer for you |
I just want to ditto everything said here. I know this is a very hard decision you\'ve had to make - I had to make it with my 15 year old poodle. Somehow knowing that mine led a long wonderful life makes me feel better than having to let go of your puppy. I think it\'s the right thing to do and you can\'t second guess that. Sounds like you\'ve given it a lot of thought and have gotten the best advise from your vet. Just wanted to say I\'m sorry for your loss. |
I\'m so sorry to hear this. I will pray for you and your precious boy. |
My heart breaks for you. I am so terribly sorry about little Tinsel and I pray that you will have the strength to show him one last symbol of the love you have for him. I will keep you all in my prayers. |
You have done the best you can, but some things just dont work out Im sure he knows you have given him as much love and attention as possible , but it is such a difficult decision , I wish you strength as you will need it whatever decision you make. Thinking of you. Julie |
You made the right choice. He will be resting in peace and knowing that you loved him, even in that short time you had together. |
