On no that poor baby. I will keep him in my prayers

Keeping your family in my thoughts and prayers. Will be watching for an update. I hope that you were able to find a vet to treat him last night.

I was hoping for an update on little Carter today. :hands:

I was hoping for an update as well. I thought about him all night :(

Just thinking of your little baby today. Hope he is doing well. Still in our prayers.

update
 

I am so sorry - i could not get my lap top to charge!!! Husband finally took pliers to the charger!!!
He seems to be doing better today.
The breeder was with them last night and they were on the phone with breeders vet from 11 to midnight....This vet was wonderful!!
They would not listen to me about 24 hour care hospital since both vets didnt recommend it... crazy HUH? I am embarrassed that i could not reason with them! They both said that the vets would of sent them if neccessary. Both vets (one on phone and other that saw them) told them that all the hospital would do was keep him warm and charge them a fortune....(?)
They saw the 2nd vet from last night early this morning. (had an appointment from last night) Nothing is broken, no blood in the stool, he was able to drink 20 mg of a nutrient/water from a dropper, his temp was 102, not in shock, he is still crying. They are on there way to the breeders vet for a 2nd opinion and to see if anything else they can do.
He is not walking much. The vet from this morning sent them home with a liquid nutrient called hi kal. (?) They are to give this to him 5 to 10 times a day. Vet gave 2 shots this morning - one was to hydrate him and the other was an antibiotic. They were told to keep him warm so that he doesnt go into shock and that he needs time to heal.... (?)
My son is going to the first vet from last night to complain and yell at them.... i think he needs to vent and he still can not believe how uncaring that vet was!! He wants to find out if that vet was the owner!
Thank all of you for your prayers. You are GREAT!! I will update when i hear the report from their 2nd opinion vet !!! We are hopeful....

I am so glad the hear the puppy made it through the night. He certainly is a fighter. We so appreciate the update. Please keep the updates coming, this is certainly a scary situation. The Hi-Kal is to prevent hypoglycemia, which many of us were worried about. The sub-q fluids will help prevent dehydration, which could be devestating as electrolyte imbalances caused by dehydration can cause cardiac arrest. Poor puppy.. I hope the grandfather hasn't beat himself up too bad, I can't imagine how guilty you would feel.

In route to vet he died. They just called me sobbing. You guys were right...

Oh Mary my heart is breaking for you and your family. I am so sorry, I can't even express myself. I am crying for you...

I'm so sorry. :(

We won't ever really know if the vets could've saved him but that was obviously his best chance. I really question these vets.

They are beyond hysterical.... i am heartbroken. They are on there way home. I dont know what to do...they dont want me to come... What can i say to ease there pain

So sorry for your family's loss

I'm so sorry too.:(

i've been reading and hoping for the best. poor little guy. my heart is breaking too.:(
you'll be in my thoughts.

:(
I'm so sorry...

I am so sorry for all involved :cry:

Prayers :hands:

On what to say: First what not to say don't talk about all the "should ofs" - because you & I believe they should have went to the ER Vet - it was probably the best chance for survival. But your son is already beating himself up enough I'm sure - and even the ER Vet might not have been able to save this little life

Just reassure your son that you are there for him. He knows this was an accident. Just love him (In time he will be ready for another little one) I can understand why he doesn't want you to come (but as a mom you want to be there to comfort) - but he is probably physically & emotionally exhausted from the last day & watching over this little one. Your son probably wants to go curl up & rest. Give him space. Maybe tomorrow you can make them dinner or something.

Again, I am so so sorry

I should of told them DONT listen to these vets... i should of done more said more... but they were so worried and i wanted to reassure them - make them feel better - make them feel they were doing the right thing - they listened to 2 vets... were going for a 2nd opinion. They were so hopeful. I knew in my heart - i repeated what these threads said.... i should of been more stern. I have never heard such hysterical sobs in my life as i just did 10 minutes ago......
Maybe this thread will save someone else's heart break... what can i say to them - how can i make them feel better - i am at such a lose for words

Just keep assuring them they did the best they could, they did everything the Dr's told them too. I am so sorry for the pain your family is going thru.

I admire this statement. We have seen so many threads lately about new puppies and accidents/hypoglycemia/vommitting/etc. and the people just wont take them in. It is so heartbreaking because many of the time we don't hear any update, and only assume the worst. I hope this does save someone else the same heartbreak.

As far as your son goes, I think yorkiesmiles is right- give him space and some time. He needs to curl up and cry, and probably sleep 24hrs. I think you should go over there tomorrow and make them or take them to a nice dinner. I can't even imagine how they feel..

Please don't beat yourself up about this. You did what you could do. If it was your puppy it would have been taken in. But it wasn't and he's in heaven now :( Hugs from me and my boys..

First off I am so sorry that Carter passed away. This is in no way anything but a Tragic accident! You did a wonderful job relaying info and your son and his girlfriend kept trying to find a Vet. Now that said, I would report so-called Vet # 1. Whether she was closed for the day or not, she should've checked that 1 lb. baby out!! I don't know what she was thinking, But, I would report her to the State!!!! Please just be there for your son and when he's ready to talk he will. Children always need their parents. Your'e all in my Thoughts and Prayers, :hands::ghug: R.I.P. Carter :rbyorkie:

she's right ..it was an accident and sometimes they just happen...they will have a hard time the first few days but it does get easier....these puppies do affect us because they are a part of the family! My heart hurts for them and for you ...because it hurts you to see them hurt..prayers are going up from Texas for all of you..

I was waiting all night to hear about this little babay. I am just now catching up and seen what happened. i am very , very sorry . YES this is a tragic accident, and everyone did the best they could. even if CArter made it to A emergency vet his injuries were too severe for him to recover. These are very tiny, fragile babies, and my heart aches for your son and family.
He has your support and this is what he needs right now. He needs time to grieve as with the rest of the family. My thoughts are with you and again I am so very , very sorry.

I am so sorry to read this, I know your heart is breaking, as is your sons and his girlfriends, and I'm sure grandpa is upset as well. Things happen, and nothing can be done about it now. I can't believe those vets, makes me love my vet that much more, as she has told me if I ever need her anytime day or night, not to ever hesitate calling. Just be there for your son, I'm sure he's going to have some very hard days.:(

Oh my goodness. I was thinking of your little guy all night. I am so very

sorry this happened to your family. I just can't imagine what a heartbreak

this must be. Poor, Grandpa, please tell him this was not his fault. It

was a horrific accident. I don't care if you have these babies for 1 minute

or a lifetime, they do something to you. I pray that the lord gives your

family strength to deal with this tragic loss. Bless your little angel. He

certainly won't be forgotten. :fallen: :littleang



Let this be a reminder for all of us...these guys are sooo fragile.

I am so sorry for your loss. How very sad. Hugs to you all.

I am so sorry for your loss. I will be praying for peace for your family.

I am so so sorry for your loss. I was thinking about your little guy all night and I am in tears to hear it turned out this way. But you guys really did everything you could it was just a horrible accident. You and your family will be in my thoughts again tonight

:( Iam so so sorry, My thoughts and prayers are with you all :cry: R.I.P. Sweet Babie :lovewings

I am so very sorry to hear of your (and your son's) loss.
We lost our 17 week old puppy the day after Christmas when she choked on a piece of candy she found.
Accidents are horrible tragedies, and are just that: accidents. We need to do our best to prevent them, and to protect our little ones, but despite our best efforts, they do happen.
I know, as I am living through it, the guilt and sadness that go along with this.
Time alone will help heal.
Blessings to all of you.

I am soooo very sorry after reading through this thread to see what you and you family has been through!! My prayers are with you and all involved. It is a tragedy that no one should feel responsible for. :unlove:

I have been thinking about Carter since last night when I read your post. I couldn't wait for an update, and I was so happy when I got to your first post...and of course, so sad when I read the next one. Poor little guy! I am so sorry to hear what happened to little Carter. As the others have said, it truly is an unfortunate accident. They can happen so easily. I'm sending my thoughts and prayers to you and your family. Your poor son...we grow to love our little Yorkies so quickly - they are just bundles of joy! I'm sorry for the pain you are going through.

I do hope something can be done about or said to that first vet. How could someone who has chosen this profession ignore an emergency like that? :mad:
