small, they used staples so that she would not be under so long, she has 14 staples, I just did the surgery last week, so if you need anything or if I can help ease your worry in any way at all please contact me, I will give you my email or phone #, I took her to 3 diffrent vets & also the veternary specialist office, I hope that your little one will be ok, my name is Debbie & my email is birdymom@@gci.net, I live in Alaska.

I went on line & I found some really great info, I talked to special vet in Tennesse & also california, so if I can help you in any way, I know what you are feeling all worried about your baby, I just got a little yorkie a few
months ago & I found this site,

I hope so much that all will be ok.... i can give you my phone number if you need it ... GOOD LUCK!!!!!!

Your offer to help someone going through something so similar to what you have been through is a godsend for those who are following the same path. God bless you and thanks so much form all of us at YT.

i am glad that sophie is doing a little better. after nika's first case of pancreatitis it took a couple weeks to get her to eat and act normal again. we made her boiled skinless boneless chicken and she wouldnt even eat that at first. we had to give her water from a dropper as she wouldn't drink on her own either for a week or so. she was very lethargic. strict diet is very very important. it can come back and be worse, so make sure that no one ever gives her table scraps and watch what she's getting in to outside in the yard. sounds like you're doing everything right and taking the best care ofher possible. i'm glad you found yorkie talk and shared your story. we are so lucky to have such a great community here to get advice and help! so welcome! will keep you & sophie in our thoughts and prayers!

When I logged on to YT and read all the posts from you
people.....what a wonderful feeling you all have given me.
I sure needed that after the day I had.

Sophie is doing better, however she sleeps sooooo much
and the vet tells me "that is just her personality".
I have been concerned about this from day one.
I have been cooking her food and waiting for the vet to email me specific ingredients / diet for her.
I also have been researching every spare minute I have,
which isn't much with my current situation.

I can't imagine or believe that a 2 year old Yorkie
sleeps so much and that is JUST her personality.

When I get more time, I will reply to all who have
reached out to me here...Isn't it amazing how people
who have never met, can actually provide such
comfort to others in their time of need

I am so moved...

I am so glad you found yt--- I too find confort in the caring group of people on this site.

I hate to ask.. but are BOTH parents in hospice? That must be extra hard on you and I am sending prayers to help you have what it takes to do your best. I lost my mother several years past and it was one of the hardest things I have ever lived throught, but I did and life did go on and I have had many days of joy that I would have missed if I had not taken the baby steps to go on.

I am glad your puppy is doing better... prays for her also

Take Care

As I read this post I relived my heartache and sheer terror of maybe losing Sophie.
After a full recovery I put both my yorkie kids on Natural Balance, as my male
Was very sick soon after. I read that it's not uncommon for these precious babies to have digestion difficulties, hence the duck and potatoe food by natural balance.
What a remarkable change!!!!!!
Duck is highly digestible and the gobble it up any time it's put down. As they love even smaller pieces I put it through the processor very quickly ,just a couple pulses !
I highly recommend this food..... Make sure it's the duck, I buy mine at global pet foods along with duck tender treats( they love it so much I call it doggie crack) lol
100% holistic . Thought I'd share since all of the members here are so very caring and kind!!!!

It is always thoughtful when someone shares such information. We have all had our hearts torn over these little ones at one time or another and it is always helpful to learn of some tidbit of information that may could help us with our other/future furbabies. It is so sad the little one in this article was lost and the heart ache is so deep. My prayers to mommy and thanks for your efforts to share with the community and offer some information human mommy may can use in the future, who knows? God Bless All of Those Who Have Lost Precious Little Ones. Mary
