Cookie is definitely a cutie pie. LOVE the heart shaped glasses. And glad to hear she's improving every day and might not have to continue the meds. Paws and fingers crossed!

Look at that sweet pretty little baby. :) So happy to hear that she is better!!

Cookie you look FABULOUS. I love your heart glasses and your rock'in skull and hearts Valentine's day dress. That is going to be one lucky Yorkie Boy at the Valentine's Ball. Woof!

I thought the glasses would be cute since the skulls have heart shaped eyes. I don't know if that is what I will submit. I will let her date Barney decide. :D

Oh! Those pics are so cute!:D

Glad she's doing well... very cute pics!

So happy to hear that she is doing well!! Love her pictures...what a sweet little model you have there!

glad you pup is doing well, I had a dog that got that about 12 years ago at about age four, it lived about 5 years longer, but I think he could have gone longer, for the first two weeks he was on daily prednisone, then he went to 2 x's a week and I think he ate a vet recommended food. After the Christmas holdidays he started loosing weight, instead of realizing that stress could have been the factor on the weight loss because he had lost his best friend and older sister in Nov. and then we went on a 12 hour drive back and forth to stay with family during Christmas who had an agressive yorkie. We were worried so we took him to the vet, who said this is how the disease progresses so he upted the pred to a few times a day and this went on for close to a month. I feel now feel strongly that we over medicated and it wound up ruining his pancrease to the point he just keep having tardy runny stools many- many times during the day, I took him to MI state vet hospital which is nationaly known for vet sciences. At that point there was nothing that they could do to reverse the damage done to the pancrease, he got so weak because of all the diarrah that we finally put him down the day before valentines day, it was very sad especially since my husband and I blamed ourselves for over reacting to the weight loss around the stressful time of the holidays. There is more known today about the problem and it sounds like you are covering all your basis, just be very very careful with the dosages. good luck and prayers for a long life with your precious pups. BTW this dog came from a well known and respected show breeder, and no one in the circuit seemed to know of other dogs of hers that had this, so you just never know. (this post is a spelling mess, sp check is not working for me and I have to sign off)

I am so sorry....you really should not blame yourself though. You did what you thought was best and I am sure the vets did as well. It is true that more is known now about this illness. The specialist was saying that when I was there....and he did say that diet is the key.
The plan is to get her off of the prednisone...she did need it for the other issues but I have a strong feeling he will be weaning her off this coming week. She has an appt a week from today.

You look darling Cookie. What a great dress and heart glasses. Someone certainly does a great job taking care of you. ;)

Cookie is adorable in her dress and glasses. Barney wants to know if they can skip the Valentines Ball and just hang out in his stroller. Glad she is doing so well.

I love how she's just cool with wearing glasses! I'm also happy to hear and see that she's doing better! :)

Haha...they could misbehave together! :D

Oh gosh...had to post this one. I was taking pics of Gabby yesterday and Cookie was doing her zoomies in the yard...she is clearly feeling much better. This pic totally cracks me up...

That is one fantastic picture. :)

Did you have your camera set on a special setting to get such a great motion picture?

Doesn't this picture speak volumes! :) Glad she is doing so well.

Glad to hear cookie is doing better
 

Ms lady Jane you are a fabulas person for all you do for these pups. Keep up the good work which i know you always do.

Such a great picture of Cookie!! How in the world did you capture such a good picture of her in the act? I can never capture those moments. By the time I run back in the house to get the camera, it's too late.

How adorable.The Yorkie flash!

I had the camera in hand. :D

Cookie went to the specialist today for her follow up. He was so happy to see her doing so well. He said that they don't usually recover this quickly. He discontinued the metronidazole and cut the prednisone and pepcid in half. Her protein levels will be checked in three weeks and if they remain normal as they are now he will decrease the meds again. The goal is to get her to a very low dose every other day. I asked if they ever take them completely off of it and he said that he does not like to because they can go bad very quickly. His comment was that yorkies concern him. I am SO thankful that she is doing so well...she performed over there, running around and talking to everyone who would listen. :D

Yea Cookie! I'm think a great deal of her recovery comes from the great care she is getting. You rock in my book!! Still sending good thoughts and prayers.

Keep it up Cookie!!

Cookie's three week check up is tomorrow. Please remember her in your prayers. She looks fine, but only the lab tests will tell for sure.

Sending prayers for Cookie.

Prayers for Cookie!! And hugs too!
