I think we all need to focus on who can fly with this baby to Tenn, I think once we get her to Tenn we have plenty of help. Dr Tobias can do all the necessary test and surgery for this girl. Dont want to quote but others that have used Dr Tobias said the cost was under $2000 for everything. I would not trust any other Doc at this point. She has an outstanding reputation for the sucess of this surgery.

If you would like for me to come pick her up and get her the help she requires please let me know. I see you live in Mammoth Lakes, that about 3 1/2 hours form me. I'll make sure she gets the needed medical help and find a suitable home without small children. It's very difficult to have a small dog but to have a small yorkie is twice the care of a normal size yorkie. You have to be very careful because of the size and they tend to have more health problems.
I have Punken and Breese and they require a lot of work and time. I'm home with them 24/7 and it takes up practically all my time. Breese is only 3.7 pounds and is very fragile and requires special care only because she was born with birth defects. I was quite aware when I got her she had the problem. I always go for the underdog and that's the reason I pick her. She had since had surgery and you wouldn't know she had anything wrong with her.
If you want to give Melody a chance at life, then think about what I've written and get in touch. If not me, find someone ...... NOW.. time is precious and it's running out.

Kathleen


It takes special people to raise special babies. God bless you!!

In Jan/Feb 2008 it costed me $1,700.00 (aprox) for Gizmo's testing and surgery. He was there for four days before we lost him, so I am sure it is cheaper if all does well.

YorkieMom6 01-11-2010 09:06 AM
We continue to hold precious Melody in our thoughts and prayers. Hoping something can be done quickly to save her and take away her pain. Anxiously awaiting an update.

Huggs to all those trying to help this little angel.

I know why I stayed on the forum for so long, it's because of all the wonderful people. Sometimes we don't always agree and that's fine because in the long run we all learn from each other.
I've received some PM from members and their generosity is just amazing to say the least. I'm so proud to be a member of such a wonder Family because that's what we are in the long run.

Krystal will be calling the vet first thing in the morning. I have a call into Tom but probably won't be in touch until tomorrow when he's at his office.
He'll know the answers about the vet care available at Davis.

My daughter was relived to hear I didn't make the drive to Mammoth Lakes. It wasn't 3 1/2 hours but 5 1/2 hours and with the ice, snow and fog, I'd probably be stuck somewhere in between. I have a dear friend that I was going to pull out of bed this morning to drive with me but she didn't think my idea was that great. They have a cabin in Mammoth and said, their's snow... Kathleen... I know you have a big heart and will do just about anything to save this baby but your sick... and your going into the hospital for surgery. Are you out of your mind... lol maybe but in my heart this was the right decision. Too bad the snow held me up or I would have been there.

I know the best decision was to leave Melody with Krystal and her family. With the proper medical care, she should improve. Let's just keep those prayers coming for her recovery.

I'll send an update in the morning after Krystal talks to the vet.
Thanks again to all the YT family and the concern you all show.

God Bless All of You,
Kathleen
Kathleen,

It was mentioned that you soon to undergo surgery yourself. I don't know how soon. Will you require assistance in coordinating this for wee Melody?

manolos mom 01-11-2010 02:20 PM
Any news about Melody?

AprilLove 01-11-2010 02:46 PM
Just checking for an update? Wondering if Melody got her meds today and how everything is going

JeanieK 01-11-2010 03:50 PM
It always worries me when there are no updates.

Well, you know, this has been super secretive since day one.

By the way....I called and YTNR was not contacted; so no clue who the rescue in TN was. I wanted to clarify since people thought they had been and were not helping get the pup there.

I dont think any things been secretive. Kathleen's been talking to her by phone I think, shes been coming here updating us, I mean what else do we need to know? other then the updates on Melody, and where we can send gifts to help for her care when the time comes.

You mentioned the rescue in TN a few times, not sure what rescue that was, but dont really matter now anyways because shes not going there, Kathleen is pretty much taking care of it, bless her heart.

Melody's undate for the Family....
 
Good Evening Ladies,

Melody is on medication and special diet as of today. She's been doing better since yesterday and Krystal went to the vet this morning and pick-up medication.
The vet's office called to get my credit information and told me that Melody now has medication and this will buy her some time and maybe gain a little weight.
If Krystal can get a little more weight on her, surgery will be easier on her little body. Remember, she's only 2 lbs. and maybe with the medicine this will improve also.

Let's keep those prayers for Krystal and Melody coming, things will word out the way God has planned.
Kathleen

Thanks for the update Kathleen, Just let us know when you get things in place so, we can get going on getting this wee one well.

I think the Man upstairs has great plans for this wee one. Otherwise he wouldn't have sent Melody's mom here.......

JasmineNoelle 01-11-2010 05:52 PM
Kathleen,
You are a precious lady. There must be a special place in heaven for you. I am hopeful and praying that Melody and Krystal will be able to stay together and praying for complete recovery for little Melody. - Joyce

Hi everyone,

Thank you for your concerns for Melody.

This morning I called and talked to the Vet and she told me that Melody can start on her meds right away and that it will buy us some time until we are able to get surgery.

So I went to the vet and weighed her and can you believe it she is 2.6 lbs! Last time i weighed her about a month ago she was just 2 lbs.

I have been feeding her Natural Balance Orginal Ultra which is reduced calorie formula which is 16.5% Crude Protein. So I asked the vet about a better food for her and I got Royal Canin Renal LP which is Crude Protein 11.4% and it has High Energy. As soon as I got home I mixed some of her old food with the new food and she ate. She picked out the new stuff and ate all of it in her bowl and left the old stuff. I am so excited to see how this food does.

I gave her meds, she got Amoxil Amoxicillin Pediatric Drops. I give to her twice daily. She also got Lactulose Liquid given twice daily.


I just can not believe how generous Kathleen is. I adore her and I can not thank her enough for all the help she has given me. Thank you so much Kathleen!!

Also thank you all for the great information and concerns. I will keep you all updated!

Thanks so much for the update. All we want is for your baby to get well, so that she can have the wonderful life she deserves in your home. We'll be pulling for her and provide assistance as soon as Kathleen sets everything up.

You are so right. God has big plans for this little one.. I just know it..
Thank you all for the concern and compassion all of you have to give. I know deep in my heart how much this means to Krystal and little Melody.

The generosity here is amazing! Thank you Kathleen, you are an absolute angel! :)

Very much looking forward to following this little girl on her road to recovery! :D

cj125 01-11-2010 08:54 PM
Just checking in on little Melody.

I'm happy to hear that she got the meds. Was it because of money that she wasn't able to get them in the first place? Or is this a new vet? I guess I'm confused. Either way I'm happy to hear that she's getting them. :thumbup:

AbbysMom08 01-11-2010 11:42 PM
I have read every post in this thread and I am in tears for 2 different reasons.
1. For that poor baby girl. I pray that God watches over her and her mommy. It breaks my heart to hear of a little one being so sick. Praying that she will now be on the road to recovery.

2. For the generosity, care, and concern from this Yorkie Talk "family".
Kathleen, you are an angel on earth. God bless you for all you are doing to help little Melody and her mommy.
The longer I am a member of this "family", the more I love it here. I truly wish that everyone that owns a yorkie would visit this site. So many knowledgeable, caring, supportive people here.
My heart is so full right now. With all of the bad things happening in this world......................this site just restores your faith in people. You all are awesome and I am so proud to say I belong to this family.
God bless you all.

Will keep Melody and her mommy in my prayers.

kidmuzicdotcom 01-12-2010 10:13 AM

Very well said and I know I completely concur!

Just checking for an update on Melody.... will come back later. I also am unsure of when your surgery is Kathleen, but know that we will keep you in our thoughts and prayers as well.

Jinxiee 01-12-2010 11:20 AM
I woke up at 6am this morning and fed Melody as well as gave her meds. Right now at 11am she is doing her "walking" She walks around the house into walls and such. But right now it is not as bad as it normally is. I try to keep a eye on her. I used to put her in a small crate with a blanket when she is doing this, but I always feel so bad about it. I was just trying to keep her from hurting herself.

Just from last night she has had a big belly, normally you can see all her bones and my boyfriend and I noticed she looks really bloated or something. Her tummy is really big and kinda hard when I touch it. Its hard to explain so forgive me. We where thinking she hasn't went poo yet so maybe she bloated.

Sorry about not posting pictures of her but I did put them in my profile. The one picture of her when she is in a dress is when I first got her, before she was sick. Maybe today I will take more pictures and put them up on my profile.

Just dropping by to see how everyone's doing. Keeping you all in my prayers. Can't wait to hear more about Melody's progress so that she can get that surgery that she needs.

Aww both of your girls are adorable! It's hard to tell by the pictures but are they the same age? From the same litter? They look soo cute!
