| I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine going through what you did. I would definitely look for a new vet - that behaviour was inexcusable. |

Donating YT 2000 Club Member | I'm sorry for your loss. When Ranger had to be put down we went to the (not Banfield) vet, a specialist, and felt we were treated as poorly as I mentioned in my post about Ranger. Some of the vets don't realize our pets, are our family and our children. My prayers to you. |

| Thanks guys.....Has anyone ever heard of this? I mean Juvinile Renal Failure? We had just moved to this town....that was the only Vet that could look at Kai on short notice , I took her in Tuesday because she was throwing up and the checked her and sent her home with some stuff to make her stop throwing up , they figured she ate something that bothered her stomach , she was sick all night , and Wed the did x-rays and blood wrok and found out that her kidneys where in faliure , unfourtunaley there is nothing they can do for that. When the vet called to tell me all this she said well the best thing you have done for this dog is the blood test , she's in kidney failure and is going to die....we should put her to sleep , I'm like your gonna wait until I get there before you do anything.....so I know better then to take my other yorkie there. I did get the blood results and I called another Vet yesterday and she was in very high kidney failure , so I did do the right thing by putting her to sleep , but I'm left with WHY DID THIS HAPPEN TO MY DOG???? WHAT IS THIS THAT SHE HAD.....??? WHY DID MY VET IN MY OLD TOWN NOT KNOW SHE HAS THIS?? ( Her levels have always been normal until Wed.) The vet that put her to sleep , and the one I talked to after (at a diffrent clinic) said that it could just strike at any time.....AND MOST OF ALL I AM LEFT WITH A BIG HOLE IN MY HEART!!!!! WHY MY POOH????

| I am terribly sorry for your loss,you should get in contact with the Breeder you got your "AnGeL" from.. As for the Vet she wasnt thinking about you & the situation,so that means she should not be a vet,very uncaring She has no heart,so therefore in my books shes not human there is a lot of thinks like this walking around... |

| I am so sorry for your loss and the cruel way your vet handled the entire situation. These 2 websites might help you understand acute juvenille renal failure. Yorkies are prone to this disease. I never had a Yorkie with this so I won't be much help. http://www.geocities.com/Vienna/Opera/2167/ Guide to Hereditary and Congenital Diseases in Dogs http://www.dogbiz.com/dogbiz-genetic-disease-guide.html

| I am so very sorry for your loss. He will have lots of others who have crossed the rainbow bridge to play with. One day I am sure you will see your baby again. |

| Veterinary Oath Being admitted to the profession of veterinary medicine, I solemnly swear to use my scientific knowledge and skills for the benefit of society through the protection of animal health, the relief of animal suffering, the conservation of livestock resources, the promotion of public health and the advancement of medical knowledge. I will practice my profession conscientiously, with dignity and in keeping with the principles of veterinary medical ethics. I accept as a lifelong obligation the continual improvement of my professional knowledge and competence. ************************************************** ******* Obviously this Vet doesn't practice the second paragraph very well. If it was me I would send her a copy of the Oath with that paragraph highlighted. No one should have to make a decision like his because someone elses stomach is growling. My prayers are with you and your family. Kim

| I may be way off base here but is it at all possible that she ate something poisoness? Maybe a plant or something in your new home? It is just so sad and strange that it came on so suddenly....I am so sorry for your loss and hope that you find some answers. The not knowing part is certainly adding more stress to an already tragic situation. Vivi and I are sending you a hug.

| I am so very sorry too. I'm not familiar with this problem at all but I would change vets in a second, no compassion, shame on her. |

| I am so very sorry you had to face this tragedy with such a horrid vet. I cannot believe that she would say such a thing. I hope you are able to find a vet who truly cares to take care of your other furkid. Sending hugs....... |

| Sorry for your loss Our pets are members of our family too. The vet, by the way, sounds completely unprofessional. Is she the owner of the practice? |
