I feel like everything I post on this thread I am being stoned and stabbed I feel you guys are abusing me FOR MY CHOCIES, I am thinking of closing this thread, My breeder warned me about some people on this website that is why I recently stopped posting as much

Guess what 30mins ago Polo picked up his bully stick and chewed almost all of it he never fell once and could hold the bully stick in his paws and you want to tell me he is not any better are you (EDITED by MOD) kidding me? Most People would of not even of went to the Neuro vet if the did not care about there pet for you guys to say I am negelcting him is hurtful when what I am doing for him is obvious (EDITED by MOD) working and he is getting better, I guess you guys can't get that through your brain since you guys only think there is one way of healing. HAVE YOU HEARD OF GOD GOD CAN HEAL THE LAME AND BLIND WAIT DID GOD DO THAT WITH THE HELP OF DOCTORS AND MEDINCE NO HE DID NOT. GOD IS GREATER AND MORE POWERFUL THEN VETS AND MRI'S

Once more for you dear Polo. Your Mom doesn't seem to understand, that beneath those double dose of steroids, and your fat belly, (adding dangerous weight onto what may be an unstable structure), that you are hurting. That somehow she doesn't hear our caring (but I know that you Polo would hear me if I was with you)
That moving easier is likely temporary. That the steroids are probably fighting a losing battle, because every time you move, a little more aggravation happens in the joints of your neck. this aggravation results in more swelling. Eventually the bones will rub against some nerves, and when and if nerve damage happens, there will be no way you could hold back your SCREAMS.

So for you Polo, I will SCREAM out loud Now before you have to. Get this dog the MRI, find out what you are dealing with. Treat his medical problem, NOW in FACT yesterday wouldn't be too Soon.

If you can't or won't afford the medical care "Dearest Mommy" surrender me to the rescue here, or to Gemy, who will take care of me.

You guys think you are all high and mighty that you know everything HELLO are you guys vets? no I think not, I know my own dog and what is best for him. You know what I feel if I got the MRI they would of found nothing and then what would I have done then I wasted 1,800 dollars and then I would have to run more tests. Instead of judging me you should be happy that Polo is walking, I thought he would never be able to walk again. You guys give helpful advice but in a rude and mean way there is a way to put things nicely. FYI Polo has the same symptoms of Dog vertigo he could have that for all we know. And to say I am doing only what is best for me are you kidding me? I have done a ton for Polo I love him very much I have raised him as a puppy taught him a ton of tricks walk him everyday I am a lot better then most lazy pet owners. I am not one to get mad easily but you guys with your recent posts put me over the edge.

The thing with asking for opinions, You get opinions. People on Yorkie Talk are not bad people. You will get advise and answers from people who have been through the same experiance you discribe. We are strong on our love for the yorkie and any animal that needs proper vet care. It like your human child needs certain tests done. Do you refuse to have them done due to cost ? or do you do everything in your power to get your child well.

You say nobody is noticing he is walking well yes we have but noticing that he was left unatended on a bed stood out a little more. That was so not safe.

People everyday surrender their pets to give them a good chance at life to get the medical they need. It's a selfless act really.

Good guidance, Ann. We can't let the "idea of religion" be used as an excuse or distraction from the crime of not providing adequate care for a pet in need. The focus of the thread should remain on Polo!

IF I thought anyone would care, if I were a vet, I would report people like the OP for neglect. If this were a child, it would be criminal.,

I don't care WHO prescribed it. The pup is being mismanaged medically.

Just because a person does not take the advice of people on an internet forum, does not mean the dog is being neglected or abused or medically mismanaged. It sounds to me like the dog is under the care of a vet.

She has been given so many different avenues, she can't go in all directions at once.

We all have to make the decision that WE personally think is best, and sometimes, regrettably, finances do come into the equation.

And the sad truth is, some dogs die, inspite of our best efforts.

To the OP, my heart goes out to you, it has to be very hard to watch your baby go through this.

I recently held an 8 day old puppy on my chest and rocked her, bawling my eyes out, while she died. I had done all that I could do, but I still felt like I had failed her.

I respectfully disagree with what you have posted. It is not that this person has not followed the advice of people on an internet forum, but that she did not follow the advice of the neurologist that she had taken this dog to. She indicated it was due to financial reasons. She then took the dog to a holistic vet that stated it was allergies. I don't think anyone has suggested that she take any avenue except that she have the diagnostic tests performed on this dog - primarily an MRI, to possibly find the cause of his problem. She has continued to post about neurological deficits that this poor dog suffers each day. My heart also goes out to the OP, but even more so, it goes out to this innocent, helpless yorkie that continues to suffer needlessly when there is help available if she were to seek it. All has not been done that could be done - that is the difference.

It's always nice to see accurate renditions of the facts to remind others of the OP's words. Posters coming on to stir the pot with nonsensical posts that not only are factually incorrect are not helpful to the OP. If you really care for the OP, then guide her in the right direction and maybe even help her out financially if you are her breeder.

And FYI, I did lose the one puppy, fading puppy sydrome. it happens to all breeders. However, I had another puppy that had not gained even a fraction of an ounce for 8 days, and then suddenly, a miracle, she took off and started to gain and is now doing great. And I prayed day and night for that one too. So somethimes when we pray for things, the answer is NO. And sometimes our pets die inspite of all the expensive medical treatment.

I'm happy for you that Carlo is doing well with his treatments. All of the prayers from all of the people on here must be working.

Steve's Carlo is doing well not because of prayers but because of using the brains God gave him to get his dog to a specialist AND follow his treatment protocol.

There is no proof that an MRI would show what is wrong. It sounds to me like she is goling with the added steroids, and exploring the GME. And some people believe very strongly in holistic medicine. It is not like she is doing NOTHING or has just cast him aside to die. But sometimes they do die inspite of our best efforts.

I'm sure this is very hard on you both emotionally and financially. You don't need this added guilt trip that some are trying to send you on.

Feel free to PM me if you want, as I do not post on here much any more, for obvious reasons.

Hopefully, people that care about these little dogs will always speak out against those that they feel are neglecting or abusing them. I feel that the people that have posted about Polo have all felt similar to me...that this little guy is not going to get better with diet or prayer. He needs to be medically managed and if he is not, he will continue to worsen. In my opinion, that is neglect. When a person comes to an online forum, ASKS for advice, tells their story, and then gets the advice from others...that is not bashing. I am so, so sorry that you feel the need to support the neglect of this poor innocent, puppy. And no matter how you look at it - when there is help available and someone ignores it, that is neglect.

It's worse than neglect in my book, it's outright abuse!

MRI is a highly effective diagnostic tool.
Holistic treatments do nothing for GME.
