| EMERGENCY!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!! Sorry its long but please help me Hi I need some help really bad and fast!!!! I have evil neighbors that live down the road who had 2 yorkies, well sometimes when im outside i have noticed them abusing them. So one day I was outside and I noticed one of them loose, so i called it and it came to me, it had no collar or any identification, so i made it my dog and I have had her about a month. When she came to me she didn't walk right everytime she would try to run her two front legs would slip out from underneath her, and she vomitted quite often which was usually bubbly and white, well about a week ago i had just finished giving her a bath and she went on about her business and i stepped into our laundry room to get something and she was beside the washer and i thought that was unusual so i called her no response, and i did it another time or two still nothing so i went up to her and petted her head and she didnt budge so i started to worry because this is very unusual, so my moms b/f picked her up and she was limp she could pick her neck up or anything, so at first i thought she was dead but shewasstill breathing. So my mom rushed her to the vet and at first he said she had trauma to the head, diabetes, and she was very dehydrated, (She was in there almost a week) so 2 days later hes like she has liver and pancreas problems, then the next day he took a stool sample and she had no worms but when we got her she was soooo boney, but anyways he really couldnt find anything out so finally we went to the vet and picked her up and he said that her teeth were so bad that she probably had an infection throughout her body, so the neighbors really done some damage to her, we had her home 1 day shes eating ok and shes drinking like crazy, but she can only pick her head up she cant walk she can stand for about 20 seconds total and she falls its almost like she in half of a coma, I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO!! and the vet seems to be no help. SOMEONE PLEASE GIVE ME SOME ADVICE OR MAYBE WHAT I CAN DO PLEASEEEEE I LOVE MY SNICKERS SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!! and she is a female yorkie between about 8yrs old and 11 (thats what the vet said) please email email me at sindel@e-garfield.com sindel age 16, missouri |

| I would give her nutrical for low blood sugar. If you don't have nutrical you could give Karo syrup. I really can't say exactly what is wrong with her it could be so many things. I hope she gets better soon.

| This is so sad!! Im sorry I can't advise you. But from what you discribed this poor baby comes from a puppymill. and Its obvious if the owner is only down the block and you have her baby she really doesn't give a damn (sorry) you did her a favor by taken her problem off her hands! I would be careful investing anymore into a vet just in case you can help this baby the owner may come back for her! and If you should want to invest I would have her sign the dog over to you and possibly the other one as well! and turn them in to the proper authority. you would be helping both of these poor dogs! good luck and please keep us posted to the out come |

I agree with what Chachi said and I also think that you need to call your local animal shelter and report what you have witnessed and what is wrong with the dog that you have. | |

| Its Me Again!!!! Thank you guys for being such good help. Well the other dog, well one time she got loose also she became my mini-me her name was pippi, loved her to death, my moms b/f accidently let her out and they wound up getting her, she got loose from them again, i got her again, she got loose again from my house through a hole in our privacy back fence, and of course they had to be outside when she got loose, so they have had her since, thats been about a month or so, so if i ever happen to get her back im gonna chip her, we even called the police on them and they couldnt do anything about it (you know how they are), and yes they know i have my snickers they seen her one time but i dont care what they think they will NEVER GET HER BACK the other one (pippi) they baby her a little more than they did my snickers, but when they are outside and they have her on a least, like when shes trying to go to the bathroom, they jerk her around on that leash like a rope, but thats cops for ya. please continue to give me advice and let me know if you may find out anything that might help her, i want her to walk again so bad and shes trying, it was just last friday she was walking and wagging her tail at me thank you so much sindel |

| Technically the cops cant do anything about it. You have to call the local animal shelter. The animal shelter is the one that will help you in this matter. If I were you I would call them as soon as you can cause them people can get you in some serious trouble for taking thier dog if they want to. Taking the dog to get chipped isn't the smartest thing to do either. It can get you into even more trouble. Call the animal shelter and do things the right way or you could be looking at some serious heart break down the road. |

| i agree with everyone else...... the shelter is your best bet.... i know you want waht is best for the dog, but TECHNICALLY you could be considered a theif, both by the cops and the people that actually own the dog, and they can choose to come after you at ANY TIME (especially if they know you have their dog).... AND if you start making their life hell (which is what you are basically going to do if you go to the shelter) then that wwill give them even more reason to press charges against YOU........ you are walking on thin ice with this one |

| You need to check into the laws in your state. Here in KY, if a loose dog comes in your yard and you feed it, guess what, it's yours and it's your responsibility, if it isn't tagged and licensed. After 30 days you can get it tagged and licensed in your name and no one can do anything about it. We've taken in several dogs that way. Call the animal shelter in your area and PETA and the ASPCA on these people ASAP! The local shelter can tell you about the laws regarding stray and/or abused dogs. Good luck and I hope everything works out for that poor little baby. You are both in my prayers.

Most of the time this rule will apply. But more than likely the dog is registered and they will have the paperwork to prove it. It is very easy to play dumb about things when your dog runs away. I have delt with this many times when i was working as an animal control officer. | |

| I'm so sorry for your little girl. But I do agree w/ everyone else. Be very careful that charges are not brought up against you. Please try to LEGALLY make her yours. Also, check out other vets. Good luck and keep us posted.
