i knew i shouldnt have watched it but im glad i did im sat crying again my millie did that when she was a puppy but only i ever witnessed it my vet thought i was crazy as she always seemed fine when he saw her apart from the temp and the extended tummy which he thought was worms it was me who finally found the livershunt site and read the stories there that i realsied maybe she had a shunt its virtually unheard of here in my part of the country but we found a wonderful vet who operated on millie and she made it she survived the shunt only to be taken 4 yrs later by diabetis and pancreits im sorry for your loss too im still grieving mine and will for a long time i hope shes playing with millie at the bridge hugs janis milo and max |
not all shunts are operable and some yorkies show no symptoms until later my friends yorkie developed a shunt when he was 8 another friend developed one through worming tablets both of these dogs had inoperable shunts and one is still alive today but has a special diet he can not have protein frm meat but he loves vegie the operation here in the uk costs just over one thousand 7 hundred pounds thats including hospitalization and meds so it isnt cheap if you dont have the money luckily i have a wonderful family who paid for millies shunt to be fixed and through millie having her shunt operation a lady who owned a pom called penny who had been struggling to cope on the diet rang me and asked about the operation and after hearing how well millie was decided to have her fixed and we remain frineds to this day.... my vet said not all dogs with shunts get the chance because of the costs, most get euthenised im sorry to say hugs janis |
I'm So So Sorry! Quote:
I know how lost you must feel right now, but you were the only one that could have helped her. I say this because of a Poem I once read and I want to send you a copy of it. I hope this helps you heal... as it did for me when I lost my baby LeiLani just over a month ago. Before sending My Poem I wanted to, Thank you for having the courage to film this very sad time you went though. You turning it around to teach others of this illness... This take a very special person. I Want to tell you.... You are a wonderful person! You put your own pain aside to teach others. This must have been very very hard for you and I'm so very sorry for your loss. So get your self a box of tissues (you will need it) and here is my Poem: The Greatest Gift I always knew this time would come, From the very instant our eyes first met. How I loved you then! How I love you now! I made a promise then, and I keep that promise now... You will not suffer from a pain that will not heal; You will not know the loss of a life remembered, now gone. It is for me alone to make this decision, The price for the bright joy and pure laughter You brought me during the time we shared. I am the only one who can decide when it is time. When my hope dies, and my fears ride high, Just when I need you most, I must let you go. It is for you alone to tell me when you are ready For without your guidance, I will not know When to lay my grief, my guilt, my anger, My sorrow and my selfish heart aside And give you this last gift, this greatest gift. Your eyes will speak to mine, and I will know. The pain of this moment is excruciating. Tears stream down my face in a river of sorrow. And my heart drowns in a pool of grief. For you have spoken and I have listened, And unlike other decisions I have made This one brings no relief...no comfort...no peace. For if there's one thing you've taught me, If there's only one thing I've learned... Unconditional love has a condition after all, I must be willing to let you go, and when you speak to me I must be willing to help you go, if you cannot go alone. And I must accept my pain so you can be free of yours. Go easily now, go quickly now, Do not linger here, it is time for you to leave. Go find your strength, go find your youth. Go find the ones who've gone before you. You are free to leave me now, free to let your spirit soar Rest easy now, your pain will soon be gone. I pray I will find comfort in my memories... In the dark and lonely days ahead. I cannot say I will not miss you, I cannot say I will not cry. For only my tears can heal my broken heart. But, I promise you this: as long as I live, You will live, alive in my mind, forever in my heart. So I give you this last gift, all I have left to give, And this will be my greatest gift...sending you away. It is the measure of my unconditional love... For only the greatest love can say, "Good-bye, go find the bridge, we'll meet again, Loving you has been the greatest gift of all." My heart is with you right now... and your tears "Will" help you heal your broken:unlove: heart. Diana |
oh goodness... how terrible. im sitting here at work :cry: my eyes out... the part where she tried to play just KILLED me. goood i dont know y i saw this but at least u'r helping ppl know the signs to look for. this must not have been easy. be sure that she will now be watching over. hugs from me n abby. at least u no that now she is resting peacefully over the rainbow bridge |
I am so sorry about your baby. I think it is wonderful to show the video. Yes, it was VERY hard to watch, but I think it is important for people to do so. More attention to this horrible disease will perhaps help another little Mattie! |
I couldnt watch the video. But I wanted to say Im so sorry. I know its hard. RIP sweet Baby. |
I just read this thread tonight... I have been trying to think of the right words. But, I realize I have none. All I can say is that your obvious love for Maddie touched me deeply. I am so very, very sorry. |
I have to admit, it took everything I had to finally make myself click on that video. I was very afraid to watch it - but I'm glad I did as now I know what it all looks like. Although I did sit here and cry my eyes out the entire time :cry: Brenda, I am SO sorry sweetie. I just don't know what to say to be honest. All I can think of is....I'm SORRY :cry: Your little Mattie is resting at the Rainbow Bridge now...and she is in God's loving arms - no more suffering. :rbyorkie: R.I.P. Little Mattie...you were such a sweet little doll and I know that your mommy misses you more than words can say.. :cry: |
:cry:I am so sorry for your loss. It took everything I had to make it through the 3 minute video. As I sit here and type this, tears streaming down my face, I have a huge lump in my throat. All I wanted to do was pick up Mattie and hold her in my arms. I have never seen what the symptoms look like, but I am so glad you had the courage to post and allow others to see. We have 8 Yorkies and it would just kill me to see them like this. I see that you got another yorkie, congrats! She is beautiful. From all my yorkies, we are sending big hugs and kisses your way~ :littleang |
I'm so sorry. Poor baby. :( May she rest in peace.:hands: |
Brenda, I am in tears right now after watching that video. I couldn't bring myself to watch it before now...Her symptoms were pretty severe :( Having both GME and liver shunt was too much for that little baby. She was absolutely adorable. She looked like such a sweet little girl. I am very sorry for your loss... |
:( Brenda, I am SO sorry for the loss of little Mattie! She was such a precious baby girl.. you could tell she was loved beyond belief! Her sweet litte eyes were amazing.. they said SO much, they showed the love she had in her! :heart to Again, i can not express my sympathy enough.. but know i am keeping you in my prayers and hoping for strength to come your way! Thanks for posting the video, i hope it helps many! (i must say, it was VERY difficult and i sat here crying!:(..i can only imagine how you feel) RIP lil Mattie.. xoxo. |
I am so very sorry for your loss. I can't watch it but the pictures of her are beautiful. Sending warm healing thoughts your way. |
OK I knew I should not have watched the video but as I sit here crying I am so glad all my Yorkies have been tested for LS. Even my new Biewers have had testing for generations. That is so important. That pretty little girl should never had to go through LS. Breeders need to be more responsible and test for LS so owners do not have to suffer the heartbreak you are feeling right now. |
so so sorry for your loss....i saw this thread a few days ago but couldnt make myself view it....it is so so precious..... |
