What a precious little baby!! Thank goodness for people who are so caring and willing to do whatever it takes to help I hope he will have a quick recovery!

I spoke with Jodi today and things do not look good for Teagan.

Corrine had taken him to her Vet, and his feelings were the same as Jodi's, that immediate treatment after the injury would have given him a chance.

Jodi explained to Corrine that I want to Foster Teagan, and Corrine told Jodi to have me fill out a Foster app and she would watch for it. Jodi & I agreed, I should hold off until Corrine takes him to the Neurologist.

Please continue praying fro this little guy. He is in pain, as you can hear him crying in the video. I am holding onto hope that it is not too late for surgery to help him. He's just a baby and this shouldn't have been the way he was treated.

I cannot begin to express my outrage that the only treatment the OP of the original thread provided him was the cortisone shot at the ER Vet.

My tiny Kia injured a disc in her spine years ago, and my husband and I recognized, immediately that something was wrong and took her to her Vet, and he gave her a cortisone shot and meds and she was perfectly fine.

I was so grateful that Jodi was able to convince Marie to turn him over.

Jodi is indeed, a Rescue Angel.

It is unforgivable!

We are praying the Neurologist will have better news.

My hubby said if surgery is a possibility and we are approved to foster him we'll drive wherever is needed to see that he gets his surgery.

It would be great if we could foster, because Jodi would be able to see him, and she became very attached to little Teagan.

Jodi really is special.

Thanks for the prayers. This little guy really needs them.

OMG poor little baby!

My heart just broke in million pieces by hearing him cry.

Sending prayers for the full recovery.

I know.

Can you imagine that anyone allowed him to live in this type of pain?

I cry every time I watch that video.

Thanks for the prayers. I believe in miracles and this baby needs one.

I am a little lost, I understand what happened to him but did someone on YT have him and didn't give him the proper care that he need at the time and now you took him and then...? I am just a little lost but anyways it doesn't really matter, what matters now is that he is in good hands and he has so many people praying for him. O my heart hurts for the little guy, thank you and Jodi for taking him in and helping him.

Poor little Teagan, I'm so sorry to hear about his condition. I hope the surgery goes well and that he will be able to walk again.

He was posted "For Free" by Dragonfly Acres on Hoobly. I had responded to the ad, but then re-read the ad and saw that she wanted a home for him without other dogs. so, I e-mailed again and said I was sorry, I had just re-read the ad, and realized she wanted a home for him without other dogs.

She posted under the Yorkie Rescue Sections here on YT section, & I saw that she was still giving me first option of taking him, so I called her and she told me he had an injury to C1 & C2 vertebrae. So, I called my Vet with the info and he wanted to talk to her, so she had her daughter who is a Vet Tech call, my Vet prescribed Rimadyl for one week and wanted to see him after the week on Rimadyl. I spoke with my Vet again, and he was willing to give the puppy a free exam as long as Marie came to the appointment with me. He would not give me a "go ahead" on adopting him until he examined the puppy and saw his medical records and spoke with Marie.

She wasn't able to bring him out on the Thursday my Vet stated and Jodi kindly took over and called her and told her that she needed to turn him over to someone!

So, Jodi met Marie in a parking lot on the 17th and Marie turned Teagan over to her. And Jodi drove him to LaFayette, IN and turned him over to Corrine with YTNR.

We're wating now, for YTNR to take him to a Neurologist.

So, God Bless Jodi!!!!

We're not certain yet, he is eligible for surgery, so please pray for him.

Jodi and Corrine's Vets have examined him, and said he needed the surgery immediately, when the injury first happened.

I really hope that someone looks into Oklahoma Vet Teaching Hospital - from what I have been reading, they are Pioneers in Laser Disc Surgery and the cost was pretty cheap, compared to the $5000 that most speciality hospitals would charge

Tobie22 · 03-25-2009, 04:19 PM

O my goodness, wow I just don't even know what to say but thank goodness for ya'll, you really save his life both you and Jodi. His first owner really makes me mad, I hope she doesn't have any other dogs.

I hope so, too! That would be a great option if the Neurologist feels surgery would help him. The congenital defect cannot be corrected and the injury to the lower disc's happened back on February 1st. He needed surgery for those disc's immediately!

It's beynd my comprehension that anyone would allow him to suffer so long.
