Okay Now this might sound foolish but please hear me out. I have only read a couple of your posts in this subject really quick. I had to come to reply right away. I have a yorkie that has AAI (Atlantoaxial Instability) This condition goes misdiagnosed and undiagnosed. My little guy would have problems with his neck this is a defect in the vertebra. Please and I mean please talk to your vet and ask her/him about this it is a very serious congenital defect. My little guy jumped off my lap and broke his neck. This happend last july. He is still not walking but i work with him day and night. Oh my gosh excuse me. my heart is just breaking writing this to you. YOu will you please do me a favor. I have been through what you are going through. Please treat your baby like he is a china doll becuase with AAI they can break their necks just by doing the yes gesture. I know that surgery will help if it is done before a break and after a break. Please PM me if you would like I will talk to you more or I will give you my email address and you and I can talk. there is also places that will help with the cost of the surgery if you get denied from care credit. Babybear's surgery cost 3200 but that was because he was in the hospital for a few extra days before surgery. So please contact me and I will go more in depth with you.
If you would like more info on AAI (Atlantoaxial Instability) go to www.petplace.com and Type it in. That will give you a lot of info to read.
Thank you very much and I hope all goes well.

Im sure a lot of people would if they even owned their homes. But like she said shes the only one working and she has kids.

So because she is the only one working and has kids she cant take care of the pup? My advice is then if she cant take care of it give it to a family who can and dont get a puppy if you arent willing to take care of it no matter what it takes ,because dogs don't take care of themselves. Dogs depend on us humans as their caretakers and family just like children. They arent disposable and just cause you cant afford it let it die or suffer. I'm sorry, but that is one of my pet peeves........If you can't afford it give it to someone who can and will..................Id rather give it away to someone than to let it suffer..

Well I think thats being a little harsh, She stated she did not have the money. and if she is the only one working and has kids yeah she prob dont have the extra money. And that means she should not own a dog?
There are a lot of members here that dont have money and they have Yorkies, and Im sorry but accidents some time happens. I hope that hes not in pain and or suffering, but her and her vet only knows that, and she says that hes not. When I got my two Yorkies I had a lot of extra money, Im broke now, so should I just give mine up too?

This is very serious and I truly hope that Tahoe's Mom listens very carefully to what Val (Baby Bear) has to say. I do believe and Tahoe's Mom can verify that AAI is what Tahoe has. And if so, this is why we are all urging and offering all sorts of advice to Tahoe's Mom to please somehow make surgery possible for Tahoe.

And just to clear something up with Tahoes Mom, I live on Long Island too, I have sent you many PM's b/c I could sense urgency in your 'early' posts. You weren't too clear on a lot of details, but what came across loud and clear was that Tahoe was Paralized, he needs surgery and you can't afford it. I acted immediately to try and offer you advice and suggestions, I even gave my phone# and was practically begging you to call me asap, b/c I would to work with you and somehow get you help. Stop making Me and SimplyYorkie to be the 'bad guys' I've got news for you - NO ONE IS THE BAD GUY HERE!!! The only thing that is here is a SERIOUS MEDICAL ISSUE, With Lots of ppl very very concerned, concerned enough to help you above and beyond just saying "I hope he gets well soon"

PLEASE listen to Val's (Baby Bears) advice. If there's anyone that you should truly listen to it's her.
