I have lost many many dogs, shed many many tears, but never have I felt like this. My whole body has been trembling for days. I cant stop thinking about her, I dont want to sit down, cause shes no longer on my lap. I dont want to sleep cause shes not there to sleep with me. I have been trying to love on Mickey and Play with him. But it feels so fake. dont get me wrong I love Mickey. but my hearts just not there. Larrys taking it hard too, my kids have all called off work, Its just been hard and it SUCKS, I think Ive said Sucks every 20 minutes for three days now. I havent let the grandbabys over, cause I know Makenzie and Zane being older would ask for Minnie, its the first thing they see when coming here, they always stand and wait for Minnie to give them kisses.
Well last Night Crystal came over and brought Kaylin, being 7 months she said she wont ask for her. so they come in and sit Kaylin in the middle of the floor in the living room with her toys, every few minutes she would look back behind her, Crystal said what is she looking at. the only thing in that corner is a stand with a large pic of Min Min. she started to head over to it and Crystal said no and sit her down. she took a fit. and so Crystal and scott let her go. she crawled half way there then got up and slowly walked over to Minnies picture. she softly stroked her face in the picture over and over and talked to her for 15 minutes, we all stood there in shock. then she slowly got down and and went back to playing.

Debbie,

My heart just aches for you. You, who have helped so many dogs find homes, to lose Minnie this way. You are right. It SUCKS.

May you find comfort in knowing that perhaps God needed a little Yorkie Angel. Vets don't don't know as much as we'd like. (Shoot, neither do doctors.)

Hugs,
Sheila

My heart goes out to all of you during this very difficult time.

I am so terribly sorry you and your family are going through all this. I know how hard it is when you lose your baby. That's what they are, Our babies. They just have 4 legs, and not two. Prayers are going out to you and your family at this very difficult time.

I am so sorry for your loss. Minnie can play with My Muffin at rainbow bridge...
We need to be strong for our other babies as well.

[ralphier]

I am so very, Very, Very sorry. Reading about what you have gone through, feels exactly what it would feel like to lose my baby Ralphie. I just can't imagine it. I have been praying for you ever since and will continue to do so. I know that your baby was loved every single minute of her sweet little life and that is all we can ask for.

[KatM]

I'm so sorry, I understand what you are going through, we just lost one of our beloved dogs who was only 5 years. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prays. I can't stop crying for you. I can only offer comfort in the knowledge that it will get easier as time goes by.

God Bless
KatM

Oh Debbie my heart breaks in two for you right now seeing this thread..
I so know exactly how your feeling for I was there.. I lost part of me that day.. and I never thought I could ever love another yorkie like I did with my pooh.. I did not want to get out of bed.. I just wanted to die.. but kacee was a baby and so he kept me going.. I had gotten kacee to play with pepsie for her needed a play mate.. it is all so heartbreaking and how we fall so in love with these furbutts like we gave birth to them is hard for many to understand..
I am sending you a big hug.. I wish I were closer to hug you in person... anne

Did the vet ever find out what was wrong?

I was wondering the same thing...what symptoms was she having?
I believe she said she thought that the vets misdiagnosed her, and that she had some type of problem in her brain. Deb, if it's not too difficult to talk about...please let us know...maybe Minnie can help another Yorkie in danger...

I will try and explain, but theres so much I dont know. so please for give me if this all sounds crazy.

Me Mickey and Minnie slept on the couch all night, we do this on nights that my Dh works nights. I woke up at 8 am to unlock the door for my DH when I noticed Minnie wasnt ont he couch. I went into the bedroom and I heard Mickey barking like he always does when DH pulls up in the drive way. But I didnt hear Minnie, I though that odd because Minnie is/was my yapper. so I came back out of the bedroom just as Dh was walking in the door. we started calling for Minnie and looking for her. I told my husband to knock loud on the wall, maybe she would hear it and come running, sure enough out from under the couch she came barking, but she seemed weak like some thing was wrong. I sit on the floor with her awhile, then she seemed beter but still you could see some thing was not right.so we rushed Minnie to the Hospital.by that time She could not walk. peed all over her self and was drolling. she would try to stand and fall over again. I thought that the pain she was having when we took her in Nov 15 ( her and Mickey went to run to the window to bark and some how ran into each other), but this time it was much worse.I gave her some nutrical and me and Hubby rushed her right to the vets. As soon as the vet saw her he gave her a shot for pain, He said he thinks she has a pinched nerve in her neck and back area. The bottle of pain meds I already had he said was still good and to keep giving that to her. We are home now and she keeps wanting to hide behind the big chair with her face laying up against the wall. you can tell shes still in so much pain. She was fine last night when we went to sleep and some time in the night she must of got down off the couch. the vet thinks that with her jumping down from the couch every day is whats caused it all, ( even thou we have steps there for her) but I watched her and I told DH I really dont think its pain from her neck or back. I think the vets wrong.
I tried to get some water down her, but she couldnt stand there and fell over again. so I had to srynge some into her. I used Pediylite. after that she ate a lttle, she went to sleep. I called the vet back and told them I didnt think that it was Minnies back or neck that was hurting her. he said hes pretty sure it was . So we called afew other vets but couldnt get her in. so we took her to see another vet at the vet Hospital this vet said its not her back its in her head he said she was in pain and that from the looks of her eyes that he could tell me right then that it was in her brain, that her brain could not tell her body what to do.he said he didnt like that her gums were turning light pink. he took blood and said that her sugar was high, but he thought that was from me giving her the nutrical, her liver signs were also high but he thought she would be ok, but the look on his face said different I was crying begging him to tell me that she wasnt dieing and he said No shes not dieing.he said she was a little dehidrated. I ask him to put her on IV's but he didnt. he said every time he took her from me. it was so much worse on her. he put her on the floor to see if she could walk to me, and she ran to me to pick her up, even though she could hardly walk she made it to me. he said the best thing to do was give her a steroid shot and take her home and syringe this can food he gave me into her and the water too. give her the pain meds and bring her back in the morning for another steroid shot. we got hom and she could hardly drink swallow the water. I was afraid I was going to drown her. I called them back and begged them to please keep her over night on IV's. this Dr told me. he seemd a little upset with me and said, you can do it. If we take her in she wont last but a few hours. she needs to be with you. I said again is she dieing? he said yes. The vet was so hurt by our pain. but theres nothing he can do for my baby he said he thoght her brain was shutting down and it maybe it was a tumor. he said to please just keep giving her the meds, and water and can food, he said noone would be there at night only to check in. so I did every 2 hours. and she started laping it down. she seemed some what stronger. she laid in my arms all that day and night. the only time I left her was to update on here and to potty. and even then she was in my DH arms. we talked to her all night. telling her to be strong, how much we loved her. Mickey came to her and gave her a few kisses befor going to sleep. I as so tired I kept dozing off through the night.
we and DH planned to take her to another hospital in the morning. but that morning she started getting sick. I put her on a towel on the floor an dppatted her back to help her get it up, she tried to run for the bedroom and I said no stay here let me clean you up. I picked her up and layed her on my lap to wipe the puke from her mouth and she died. I screamed for my DH and he came running and me him and Mickey sit with her a long while, I run my fingers through her beautiful hair and we both told her how much we loved her and kissed her.
I feel that both vets played the guessing game with me baby.
