I've been in your shoes ~ worried to death about a brand new puppy; wondering about my breeder; worried that I'm going to lose my little girl. . . . I wouldn't wish that on anyone. For all my worries, Lucy is still here; still healthy; still playing. Yes, she does have liver issues that must be monitored ~ but, so far, that's it. I cried; I prayed; I questioned all my choices ~ but here she is and things are fine. I hope that everything works out for you and this is something you can quickly get to the bottom of. I can hear the stress in your posts. Prayers for both of you. |

This could be Toxicity from the pill and exacerbated from one of these underlying conditions as well. Actually any of these conditions could be responsible for Toxicity from the pill. If his system is not running properly from any of these things the pill may not absorb and leave his body properly. |

Max won't lay down. He's crazy like his brother. He wants to run and play. I just fed Max and he ate very well. Shouldn't LS symptoms appear more severe after feeding? nevermind. he was just sitting and wobbled his head and fell into a lay position. |
That's what the literature says. |
You also have to keep in mind that even if the blood works comes back indicating a problem with the liver that does not necessarily mean liver shunt. Vaccinations and medications like the flea and heart worm meds can effect the results of the blood work. Do you know what vaccinations the breeder gave this puppy? Was he given the lepto shot? Please try not to worry. We are all praying that his symptoms are just temporary. Another thing to consider it that if he does have a liver shunt and the breeder refuses to take him back then you can possibly turn him over to a yorkie rescue group that can give him the medical attention he needs. I feel strongly that the breeder should refund your money if he does have a liver shunt. |

The breeder just emailed me that she will NOT take him back but will give me a replacement. She feels that something happened to him while in my care. I'm not ready yet to disclose who this is and everything that has been said, but am prepared to do so if necessary. A rescue? Dear God. I can give him the medical attention he needs I think. It looks right now that I will have to take care of him no matter what the results are. I certainly don't think that I should be putting him to sleep (as per the breeder). |
ADB- don't let your mind run that far ahead yet. You'll drive yourself crazy with worry and it won't do you or Max any good. Just take a deep breath, give Max a cuddle (if you can stop him from playing for a second) and focus on what's happening right now. Wait to see what happens with the blood work, then go from there. It's already very clear that you love Max and consider him part of your family. So try to stay focused on him and not what someone else is doing/saying or not. You can deal with them later. |
I agree with RhettsMom...and I am too keeping you and dear Max in my prayers. |
