My new "rescue" yorkie has a serious problem. Any help? - Page 6 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Here are two pictures of little Vinny.
He looks shagy but believe me this is after we cut matts out of his hair and towel bathed him.

He just breaks my heart! He looks like he's in dire need of help and bless you for doing everything you can for him

Busters-Mom · 10-07-2008, 11:15 AM

He is adorable. Reading this thread today has 1) made me happy you adopted this little guy and I pray you are given the ability to provide his expensive care and 2) really upset at the complete disregard for any life Jeff Dane has shown. I can only hope that one day he reaps what he has sown bringing all of these sick animals into the world and not caring one bit about how they end up.

I don't know how people can live with themselves doing that

Oh! I am so sorry about this.

I am sure this breeder 'rescue' dogs are all his own dogs. The older females were surely breeders.

Sometimes a tiny weak one will survive like this little guy. But obviously he is hanging on dispite his circumstances.

I can only be hopeful that this is not the diagnosis. I say this because I helped a breeder, by taking a tiny yorkie that she DID very much love but couldn't care for any longer. I basically brought her home to let her die. We all were sure she would only last a month at best.

They had thought she had liver shunt but she didn't. She could take maybe a step or two then fall. Have little 'jerks' and twist strangly. After all the tests (the breeder did this during the 8 mos she had her). Then after x-rays they determined it was her cerebreal area of her brain that was damaged either in the womb or during birth. Basically, she has cerebrial palsy. She was 3 in June!! She is my miracle baby. She walks funny, slowly, and is fragile. She is silly and squeeks instead of barks but thinks she is a big dog. She is healthy and all I can say is a blessing in my life. She pees on a pad, weighed 1.2 lbs when I got her and is 1.8 now!

WOW - What a story! God Bless You

GeorgiaOnMyMind · 10-07-2008, 12:01 PM

Oh my! That is wonderful for you! I hope and pray that little Vinny, whatever his diagnosis is, has a wonderful outcome too. It makes me feel better just knowing that he has Kaity to help him through this.

These two little ones are so blessed to be taken care of and loved so unconditionally by their families. You are both their angles for these little miracle babies!

God Bless each of you!

you poor thing . I dont understand she wants to keep this baby but all of you all keep saying turn it over to a rescue and they will get him the surgery that he needs . why dont one of these rescue help this little guy and let her keep him wouldnt that be the thing to do she has already proven to love the little guy or she would of never taken it in the first place.. come on guys let the rescue help her and let her keep it... with the way things are in this world a little kindness would help... good luck sweet baby

butterfly · 10-07-2008, 12:52 PM

I am hoping to hear something about the little guy today.

It seems we get very attached to these babies.

I wanted to also say that I found massaging my tiny was really good for her. She seemed to really respond well to that because they don't move as much as other dogs they need to have all those little muscles and joints moved for them sometimes. Anyway, maybe it sounds strange but I believe it.

Gingergirlsmom · 10-07-2008, 03:21 PM

Awww, what a cute, sweet little guy!

Bless you for all you are doing for him. He's lucky that YOU are the one who found him.

SassyAnn101 · 10-07-2008, 06:49 PM

Oh I'm In Love, What a sweet little face, and those eyes, He is something special. Please let us know what the vet finds out about this baby. I will do all I can to help you get this baby to UT if he has a Liver Shunt or something else UT has experience in. Bless this baby, He is lucky that he has you

What a great idea! I don't think it's strange at all, everyone loves massages. Something so simple, but yet, will do wonders for him and for her.

About 2 weeks ago we stumbled on the above post. This person was selling 3female rescues that were obvious breeder females. I believe this is linked to Jeff Danes as well. Take a look at this link.

He's probably on here right now.
