Im new here and I really didn't want to jump in and give my view on this for fear I would get torn to shreads. But. I just wanted to put it in a different light.


Let's say for a moment this "furbaby" of yours was a actual human baby. If this child had this form of health problems you just laid her in a bed fed it special formula and vitamins and avoided a surgery she "had to have" you would be in jail. PERIOD.

You talk about love. Is this the kind of love parents have for there children that can't provide for them and they are neglected? Because that's TRUELY what your doing to this poor baby.

From the deepest parts of my soul I beg you, please give her to someone that can give her the help she needs. You are unable to do this at this time. With your sickness and joblessness, you can't even plan to look for a job while your so sick so you know for a fact you can't pay for anything even in the distance future.

You have the responsibility as a dog owner to provide the care they need. In your heart you think your doing this with baby talk and happy thoughts. In the real world this is turning a blind eye.

If you TRUELY love this baby, show it.

welcome - you may be new but that was very well worded - especially about the 'love' part

What a really great post! Thank you :(

Your post really touched me; you express yourself beautifully, welcome to the "clique"!

Funny...I was thinking the same thing. :D

oh man - me too ...I ALMOST rushed Chanel to the vet also for the same reason years ago when she first did it - freaked me right out

and yes - dogs do hide pain....yorkies can be drama queens but that's not the case here. :( We all love our pets but there's a time we just HAVE to do whatever is needed no matter how hard it is - I include all animals in that comment.

What a wonderful and insightful post.

Welcome to YT, you are going to be one value added member.

Welcome to YT and thank you for your post! :)

I have been in contact each day with OP. Because i live close to her and because i have my severe Aai yorkie Ellie- i felt responsible to get involved. Last i was told Olga has not transported her yet- due to 11 hour drive to MI. She says Roriee is not screaming as constantly that steroids are helping. Yesterday i offered to make the drive to see Roriee, compare her to the health of Ellie. I thought it would be helpful in finding TRUTH in this entire thread. OP did not mention i could come see Roriee. OP is very mad at YT posts. I have backed off posting because for a whole week and the longest thread ever - we still do not know if Roriee is in extreme pain -Under a vets care- or being rescued. i would love for her to simply let me see Roriee to clear our mind from this horrible image of pain we have painted in our minds. If the situation will not change then all i can do is pray. It appears to be out of our control. God may you bring relief for this baby. And may the OP let us know someday that Roriee is in complete relief. I too love the other posts recently. We have been so worried about this all week that it has absord attention to genuine cases of concern and advice support and prayers.

She is being told how mean we are. She was not angry until certain people involved themselves and then it all got crazy.

Bottom line...NONE of us want ANYTHING but what is good for Roriee. I offered to help get her to Olga but now that they are saying she is only constipated and advising lactulose it has become kind of confusing to me. I would happily help get her somewhere but only IF there are vet records and proof produced. At this point there is way too much conflicting information.

Randi, if you simply would stop acting up and realize no one wants any harm to come to Roriee then perhaps someone could help. I am having a hard time believing that this pup is ok without surgery. If you know in your heart that this is true....then you need to let someone help get HER some help.

Being mad is not going to solve her problem. In my estimation that is a smoke screen and a handy excuse for you to further deny her what she needs. I hope you can prove to SOMEONE that she does not need the surgery you said she needs. You are the one who told the horror stories about her...so being mad at us for wanting the best for her is clearly not helping HER.

If rescues are having a hard time paying vet bills why would they take an owner surrender that needs such expensive treatment? Why can't the rescue's just help with the cost so she can keep her baby instead of putting the dog in a foster home?

Is there a rescue that is willing to take her? I don't see why a dog has to go into a rescue to be able to receive their help.

What pictures? I didn't get to the web site before it was taken down.. And what is AAI? I couldn't find anything when I searched google

I agree completely Brenda... one can get their point across without being harsh.

What you are asking would be a form of Welfare. And that is not what rescue is about. Rescues take in pups that require major medical attention and work with vets that offer their services at a reduced price. Immediate attention is obtained, and fees are worked out. Some vets will offer their services on a payment plan. But, rescues operate on donations.

Fanny Mae Liver Shunt, before they folded, did offer assistance to those in need. However, a financial statement had to be submitted, an owner had to fit a certain criteria to qualify. One stipulation is they could be breeder. The too operated on donations, and of course with assistance of Dr. Tobias who always offered her assistance at little or not cost. This foundation has folded with the passing of Terri Schumsky, the founder and wonderful advocate of the Yorkie and the LS cause.
