Just wanted you to know that my thoughts are with you too, all these hundreds of miles away.
I cant imagine how you are feeling, but I know i would be devastated.
I know its no consolation, but im sure he is in the best place, and he is now pain free.
Loads of hugs to you.

Dexter's Mom, I too am so sorry about Baby Dexter. To your son: hugs and kisses. Loss is so tough and it's hard to find the right way to express our sympathy, but at our household, we'll keep you in our thoughts and pray for peace and joy to your family.

So sorry.

Dexter's Mom, I just wanted to check in with you to see how you are doing? I know how hard it is to lose Dexter. I lost Half-Pint not quite a year ago and there hasn't been a day go by that I don't miss her to death!! Everyday I look at the little cherub angel that covers her burial area in our flower garden. I still even sit down next to her and talk to her.

Please don't feel all alone in this as there are others who know how you feel, and those who have been fortunate to have not lost a pet are still thinking about you too.

It is a very hard time and know that you are still in our thoughts!!

[Dexter's Mom]

Thank you all so much. I am still devastated about Dexter. And I have been going through hell this week! I had Dexter for one month. I purchased him on Dec.20 in NY. He always seemed sick and I contacted the place I got him many times and they always said he just needs to get used to us. I took him to the vet 3 times in the month I had him. My vet treated him for loose stools and he was going to be rechecked this past Saturday. I had to bring him on Friday because he stopped eating and then he passed away on Sunday night. I called the breeder and informed them and they told me I needed to bring him to their vet in NY ( which is 2 hours away) Yesterday I picked my poor puppy up and took him there. I cried almost the whole way. It was so hard because in the short time he was with us he became part of our family and I love him so much. The breeders vet said the autopsy would take a half hour. I spoke with him at 4:30 yesterday and he said it appeared he died of hyperglycemia. What a lie. We gave him karo syrup (thru the advise of the breeder) 3 times a day. My vet was also giving him sugar. He said there was no blood in his stool and there was nothing else found. I told him I wanted to have my vet do an autopsy and he said "Well it is alot harder for me to sew these things back up than it is to cut them up." I couldn't beleive what I was hearing. He said it a few more time I didn't care how hard it was for him he said fine and hung up on me! These people are being so rude to me and I don't know what to do! I can't afford another dog and I don't feel I should have to buy one. I purchased him a month ago. He was sick! We tried to help him but couldn't. I didn't tell my son because he was so sick that day and when he started feeling better he said maybe if you give Dexter some of the medicine you gave me he will feel all better and come home. I don't want to break his heart. I feel bad asking for another puppy but what else should I do? Again thank you all for your loving words.

Dexter's Mom, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. That is heartless for their vet to treat you like that, and I seriously think you should consider filing a small claims lawsuit against them. I know the monetary loss won't bring back your Dexter, but I hope it will at least give you the financial opportunity to consider another yorkie when you are ready, at the same time punishing the breeder who has been so callous.

Again, I feel very sorry for your loss.

[fasteddie]

I'm with MikeM, if that vet can't do what you want them to do, and it's not illegal or unethical at all to do, then file a claim against them with the Better Business Bureau, or perhaps contact a lawyer or file a smalls claim suit. And notify every doggy forum that exists about this bad, bad vet, so when people search for that vet, they will hear of your story. A similar thing happened with some dishonest breeders and our forum, when people search Google for them, it returns results of that place not being so good.

I am so sorry for your loss, I am also going though this pain and my son is 5, he is taking it very hard. I told him that god needed him more than us or he would still be here. It was the first time he had to delt with death. I wish you the best. It's good to know we have people to lean on at this hard time.

Dexter's Mom, What a nightmare!! I am so sorry for all you've been through! I think I would contact a lawyer and find out what your rights are in this case. You and your family will be in our prayers. Good luck.
