This is great news, I sure hope this improvement last and last.

Colby was doing better, and then he just started declining again. We were working on getting him to Auburn, but yesterday he started crying out and could not get out of his bed. We took him to a critical care specialist and when we got there he would not even respond to his name. Looking in his eyes he looked tired and weak. They did a full neruological exam on him and said he had severe brain damage. I asked if an MRI would tell us something that could save him and he said no we could pay for the MRI but all they would tell me exactly what part of the brain was damaged, but there were no treatment options for him. The vet looked him over thoroughly and said he even had a skin infection which he thought was due to the steroids lowering his immune system. He took his whole history and read reports from the breeder, her vet, and my vet. The conclusion was every vaccine he got made him sicker. The reason why I was able to get him to walk during the time I had him was because for the first 3 months I had him he did not have any vaccines because the breeder said he had all of his. I took him in for a checkup in January and the vets said he needed the shots and even if he had them they would not hurt him. They were wrong. Every vaccine he had was destroying him more and the double dose they gave him on the 15th of February was just too much for his little body and he could not recover this time. The critical care specialist said he is 100% sure it was from the over vaccination he got on the 15th. I told them to do one at a time, but when they gave him back to me the paperwork said they had done both. Now my baby boy is dead, and I along with my husband and kids are falling apart. If that wasn't bad enough his blood work that his original vet did was very abnormal and my vet told me his there was nothing to worry about with his blood work. The vet yesterday could not believe they would tell me his blood work was fine, and the steroids destroyed his body even more. Had they taken the blood test results seriously they would have never even prescribed the steroids the vet yesterday said. I wll not be returning to my original vet. I could not sleep last night. I cried all night. I am so sad. I have not seen my husband cry in a very long time. Yesterday he was in tears. The pups will not eat and they look so lost.

[Yorkiemom1]

I am absolutely speechless............RIP precious little soul....

[sandy simpson]

My heaert is so sad for you. Why such a precious Yorkie must leave us and go over the rainbow bridge. Take comfort in knowing you did all you could for him. He is now not suffering anymore. I had to turn my Teddy Peanut back to the Lord, his Creator and it broke my heart. He had a stomach obstruction. He was 10. I cried so hard. I am crying for you now. Colby, you run and play with my Teddy. Know we will never forget you. Someday meet us Yorkie lovers at heavens gate with a happy tail and hug. God loves dogs, He created them. Sending prayers fo comfort to you.

I am so sorry. I so wanted him to get better. I know your heart is broken and how u feel. You and your family were doing all you could. You are in my prayers.

[Patti]

My heart goes out to you on the loss of your darling Colby.

[Amazing Yorkies]

I am so very sorry for your loss!

[Prince Toby]

Thank you everybody for your kind words. What is so hard is we had the money to take him to Auburn. We were just working on plans to go. The vet last night said Auburn could not have done anything. There was no cure or treatment for him. Now I can't help but think, if I didn't give him his vaccinations he would still be here. I miss him so much. His name was Colby, but he will forever be mommy's little Cole Bear.

[marlenemaria]

I have prayed that his precious soul is in peace now. My heart is broken, bless this little baby that left his paw print in all our hearts.

RIP Colby love.
