| CoCo?s Hospitalization Experience Last night and today Last night at around 7:45 CoCo came running to me after eating her food. I saw she was shaking like a convolutions and picked her up to look at her. She had been scratching her ear recently, after I tried to tape it up. And saw that half her ear was cut off. I started freaking out and ended up taking her to the Animal Emergency Hospital at 8:20 pm. The vet put her on IV?s and on an oxygen mask. They didn?t think she was going to make it because she was having trimmers and what looked like seizures. They asked me to go back and sit with her because they didn?t think she was going to make it. I was hysterical. Then after 2 hours of the oxygen mask and her making it they put her into an incubator with oxygen going into it. Along with the ivs, and pain medication because her heart was racing. They said she will probably not make it through the night but she is a tough puppy at age 11 1/2 weeks and made it. I go and pick her up at 8:00 today but they already told me that they would have to cut off the top part of her ear, because it is going to die and fall off if not. So the top 1/3 to 1/2 part they are going to cut off. So will all of you pray for CoCo. I just want her back and to her old self again. Thanks all. |

| We have no clue she was scratching it a lot and trying to rub it on things, but we dont know how she could have cut it. Its bad, and the vet would not sew it back on. So they are going to have to cut the rest of it off. I am really scared about it. |

| OMGOSH How did that happen? I dont think she can die from 1/2 and ear being cut off unless she lost a lot of blood or had infection in it. please keep us updated. |

| Thanks for all your support I am going to pick her up in 1 hour. I am just worried that her ear is going to look ugly. And what am I going to do? How am I supposed to explain that she is a real yorkie but her ear is just cut off? I am really upset. She is only 11 weeks old, and 1 lb. But thanks for all the support. I just love her, but I am worried. |

| Oh and the vets that have been working on her thinks she went into shock and then her heart rate went up, causing her to not get enough oxygen, causing her to have trimmers that cause seizeurs. |

| Poor little CoCo! I really hope she has a full recovery. You don't have to explain anything to anybody, CoCo is your baby and that's all that matters. And, personally, I don't think a yorkie (or any dog for that matter) could ever be ugly, no matter what part was missing or disfigured. A dog will love you no matter what, and that makes a dog the most beautiful animal in the world. Get better quick, CoCo, your mommy misses you.

| Oh thank you all! Ya'll all are making me feel better! We just picked CoCo up and she is back to her normal self, but I am being extra cautious! She is trying to play with our lab. They did not cut off her ear yet. I called a animal surgeon specialist here in this area to see what they can do and what part of the ear they can save, and see if they can still shape it like a ear. But there is already dead tissue, and they don?t know how long it will stay on or fall off. So they said the sooner I get it cut off the better it would be. And the animal surgeon specialist does not have an appointment until Feb 13. What do you think I should do? Go to the vet and have them do it or go to the specialist and risk it falling off by that time? Thanks again for all your prayers and support! We will be getting through this hard time in our lives. |
