I don't believe this
 
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!

Oh no! Poor Lily! May she and her sweet babies RIP.... too sad....

Rescuemomma 09-18-2012 03:20 PM
I'm devistated, I knew she was old, but I thought we'd at least have a few good years together before we got here, not just a few days :( My poor beautiful Lily, escaped from the shelter only to die :(

RileyDC 09-18-2012 03:21 PM

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.

i am so sorry for your loss hugs to you

My lil friend 09-18-2012 05:21 PM
My heart hurts so much for you!!! Wish I could tell you face to face how sorry that I am for your pain and loss.

Rescuemomma 09-18-2012 05:22 PM
Thanks everyone, my heart is so broken right now I'm just sick to my stomach. I've decided this time, I want to do something I've never done before, a friend gave me the idea of having her buried in a pot, so if I ever move, I can take her pot with me. I'm going to go one step further, and see if I can order some beautiful California Lilies to plant in her pot, so everytime I see their beauty, I will be reminded of my precious girl who's beauty was missed by so many that would have just let her die there, a "demon dog" that wasn't who she was at all!

mimimomo 09-18-2012 05:38 PM
I am so sorry about Lily, my heart breaks for you. She was so blessed to have met you & revel in your love for the short precious time you've had her. Sending comforting hugs & healing prayers.

Sending my thoughts and prayers to you. I'm so thankful that this beautiful little Angel had a few days to know what love is. Rest in peace sweet baby.

I think that would be such a lovely tribute to Lily. I am so sorry for your loss. You are a hero the pups you have saved. You have a loving and caring heart. Hugs to you

Sorry
 
We are so sorry for your loss. Sending you prayers..

I am so sorry for your loss, and commend you for selflessly giving love to precious doggies who really need and deserve it.

yorkietalkjilly 09-18-2012 09:12 PM
Oh, I saw this thread title before but didn't notice the Forum. Just seeing this and realizing your poor Lily is gone. I'm stunned. She seemed the light of your world. I could read love in every word you posted about her. It seems impossible to believe this. I'm just crushed for you. Poor, sweet Lily. If someone had cared enough to spay her, she'd probably be with you right now. This is truly so sad and unfair that there is little more to say except how very, very sorry I am. At least this little one had a lovely last few weeks of her life, knew real love and caring, peace and safety. Her condition probably took her so fast she didn't know a thing and is now with God, well and happy, waiting for her new mommie - the one who loved her so.

And we know animals will be in Heaven as the Lions will lie down with the Lambs is something we're told to expect there and as there is no discrimination there, we know if Lions and Lambs are admitted, our doggies will be, too! I will be praying for your healing from this awful grief and some peace not too far down the road. Try to sleep and take care of yourself. Hugs to you from Tibbe and me.

This is EXACTLY what hurts most of all. My vet and I both feel pretty certain it's the pregnancy that killed her. Had someone just spayed her, instead of using her as a cash cow, she would be laying on my lap right now.

But yes, my vet does feel this took her so quickly that there was no pain or suffering. She probably died so fast, she felt nothing at all. For that small bit I am grateful, but it just crushes my heart that it had to happen so soon, I was looking forward to showing this sweet littl girl just how good life SHOULD be!

I can't imagine how it hurts. Try to rest some tonight & hopefully when you've healed a bit, you can find yourself another Yorkie baby. Because you know there is a little one out there who does now or soon will need you and once you've had the love of a Yorkie, it's hard to live without one without suffering so. I wish there were more I could do to comfort you.

Samuelsmommie 09-18-2012 09:29 PM
I am so shocked! I am so very sorry for your loss. I can't even really begin to wrap my brain around what you must be feeling right now. I pray that God will grant you the peace and comfort that you need at this time. If you ever need a ear to listen or just someone to vent with, I am just an email or PM away and I really do mean that. (((((((HUGS))))))))

Thank you for your thoughtful offer - I will likely take you up on it when I've pulled myself together a bit!!!

I know deep down that a big part of me will never feel complete until there's a Yorkie back in my arms. I knew that the moment I first held my precious Benji, that little lover gave me so much, I just adored him, almost as much as he loved me! But I also know I just need a break from Yorkies for a bit to give my heart some time to heal

You are so very welcome. We all process and handle grief differently. Take your time and allow yourself to grieve for sweet Lily and when the time is right and your ready to take the plunge and get another Yorkie you will know it. Please try to get some rest as I can just imagine how long the day has been for you... ( I know this is easier said than done at times)....
