I need help!!!! Ok, It's been a while since I've been on YT...(My BF broke our laptop 2nd time!!! 2 different computers!!!-long story) Anyway, I just got my new computer and I'm so glad that I have access to YT now!:D It's a long story, but to make it short. My BF found a yorkie boy who was abandoned by vet's office who needs surgery for liver stent asap. I'm trying to find a vet(tri state area) who can work me on surgery cost $$$ or someone who's willing to take him as his or her forever baby and provide him with urgent help that he needs so badly. :( Any help or advise regarding good vet will be greatly appreciate. thank you all!!!! |

you should contact a yorkie rescue group that serves your area they may be able to help |
I don't know if this is any help but I've heard good things about them. Red Bank Veterinary Hospital, 197 Hance Avenue, Tinton Falls NJ 07724, 732-747-3636. www.rbvh.net. Thank you for looking out for this pup and trying to get him help. Good luck! |
Only yesterday I came across an article regarding an Animal Specialty Hospital (24/7) in Manhattan. They are specialized to handle small breed dogs. Not sure how willing they will be to "work with you" but here is a link to their website Veterinary Specialty Hospital & Board Certified Vet Specialists in New York, NY | Fifth Avenue Veterinary Specialists |
I would look into a Yorkie Rescue group. They may be able to take in the pup or even give you information on the best place to take him for surgery. |
I agree with others. I would look into a yorkie rescue. |

by the way, the vet who's looking after this poor baby is asking around $1300 for surgery, is it normal price? |
I emailed couple of rescue groups.... hope one of them will take him and help poor baby.... |
You should contact Yorkies Inc. If they couldn't come get him, perhaps you could get him there. They are an excellent rescue group. Available Yorkies |

Save a yorkie rescue group got back to me, and my fingers are crossed that they'll take him!!! :) pray for the little guy~ |
Dr.Tobias USED to take these babies for research on liver shunts...this was back in the '80s......she did the surgery, then I think placed the dogs in foster care and tracked them for continued lab work, etc....for the life of the baby...they are loved and cared for and get the surgery they so desperately need...I dont know if they still do this...if they do, this would be a perfect candidate, as the owner used to have to sign the baby over to the team....this baby is looking for a foster home anyway, so this would be great fr him if the team still does this.... |

Sending prayers for this little guy. Bless you for helping this pup. |
sorry for late update... I had a family emergency... anyway, Dr. gordon who is taking care of little guy(2 lb) fell in love with him and decided to keep him!!! Dr. didn't want to do surgery right away due to his size, and wanted to try medication and special diet first. Dr. said that so far, little guy is responding well to medication, and running around like a bounce ball:p I'm so glad that he found great dad(dr. who can give him 24/7 care he needs)!!! Thank you everyone for your prayers and thanks to all organizations who were willing to help him. |
