I don't believe this

[Rescuemomma]

My precious California Lily is gone She started coughing up blood, it was just poring out of her nose and mouth, I rushed to the vet as fast as I could, they're only a block and a half away, but she was already gone by the time I got there, they tried to revive her but it was to late, my sweet baby girl has returned to heaven. I'm in complete and utter shock. She was pregnant The vet feels that most likely, at her age, the pregnancy was causing her blood pressure to rise, and since we hadn't realized she was pregnant when I took her in Friday, he hadn't even thought to check her blood pressure (I wish they did that routinely like they do with people!). He figures a vessel ruptured in her lungs to cause that much blood coming from her nose and mouth. I'm in shock and disbelief. She had already captured my heart, maybe this is just a sign I'm not ment to own a Yorkie, RIP my beautiful California Lily!

This is just killing me, so soon after loosing my precious Benji I was really not ready to loose another. But at least she died loved, knowing that someone cared. Maybe that's all she needed ;(

But I must say for everyone who thinks I'm a hero - I'm not. And I feel totally defeated now As much as I will always be pro-rescue, if and when I feel like I can let another York into my heart and my life, I must admit, I think I'll be seeking out a healthy Yorkie from a respectable breeder. I don't think I can take loosing it after just a few days like this again And sadly, that's always a risk with rescues, you never know what abuse, neglect, and horrors they've suffered, what they've been exposed to, or what genetic problems they may have. They need and DESERVE good loving homes, perhaps even a little more so then well bred Yorkies that have never known and will never know what it's like to want for anything, but I just don't think I could take the heartache of another rescues again, at least not now. Maybe in a few months I'll feel differently, for now I think I need a break from owning Yorkies. I need to find a home for little Tink, the 2 year old I rescued. Now more then ever, I know I can't keep her, she needs someone to love and cherish her, and my heart just isn't into giving her that.

You were a hero to Benji and Lily. I know this is so hard for you. It will take time to help you heal. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry to hear about California Lily's passing, and that you are having to go through this emotional devastation again so soon after losing Benjamin. I am sad you are feeling defeated because I admire you for bringing the sweet babies into you home and heart and giving them a wonderful life no matter how long/short it was. You made a difference in their lives and now are paying such a hard emotional price for opening your home and heart. I hope in time your pain eases and someday a very lucky Yorkie finds their way to you. God Bless California Lily and Benjamin Button and ease the sorrow in rescuemomma's heart. Sending prayers

This is awful, did the vet say what caused this? Honestly, I'm so angry right now, I certainly hope you never go to this vet again, this is beyond an oversight on his part...no excuse.

I am terribly sorry this has happened to you, again..

I don't think this was predictable. This was just a horrible turn of events. What we think happened is that her blood pressure rised because of her pregnancy, and with the pressure in her eye already being high, it causes blood vessels to rupture, and that is what caused her very quick and sudden death There was just to much going on with her, to much neglect, the vet was more focused on the immediate problems, when I had Lily in there, she was still reserved and it made a full exam difficult, so he focused on the most obvious problems. Most vets will do this when they know they'll be seeing the dog again in the near future. He didn't want to push her and scare her. Honestly, I didn't realize she was pregnant either until she relaxed a bit more and her abdomen wasn't so tense. I have no anger towards the vet, my anger is to whatever monster let her get in this condition, the monster who let her get pregnant at 10 years old, and has now robbed me of my sweet baby girl through their negligence.
