My heart is aching right now.

For everyone else that has a petland or petstore near them selling puppies, look around before you buy. We are all here to educate each other, lets spread the word.
I am near a petland in Lansing Illinois, I always stop in to look around because it's in a strip mall. I hate the conditions of the cages and how they put 2 and 3 dogs in one bin. There was a yorkie in a cage with a terrier(?)and a maltese. The yorkie couldn't defend himself as they were wrestling with her. I asked if I could hold her and she was shaking terribly. I stroked her for about 10minutes & she fell asleep. If for only 10 minutes I was happy I could give her 10 mins of peace. The paws on another one of the pets was bruised from walking on the metal cage for so long. I was appalled the wanted $1500 for her. They need to supply the name of the breeder they purchase pups from when you buy a dog from them. But that's bad business so we know they won't do that. There needs to be some type of regulations and fines brought against them. They will shut your restaurant/business down for not being clean, or different violations. They need to do the same for pet stores and bad breeders.

Oh Kodak - that was awful to read and I SO agree with what you said....I agree spreading the word can only HELP the next person....I am so passionate about pet stores and the mistreatment of dogs by Petland that I tend to get a little too vocal - but this is WHY I try to post about them - I want to help others out there who don't know - like I didn't know years ago - and just like you, it infuriates me what they get away with - what you just said is heartbreaking

Kami...I'm praying for your little yorkie. Your heart must hurt so bad right now....whatever happens you did your best and that's what matters....it doesn't make this any easier ....but in your babies short life you are his hero. I'm hoping things turn around for him....

If there is anything you need just say the word ....sending you a hug and lots of sympathy.

I have done so much thinking about his entire situation. I am starting to blame myself, when I went to the emergency hospital with him that first time on wednesday because he wasnt eating I should have told them to do full blood work, but I didnt. I should have left him for ivs but i didnt. All because the doctor there said he looked healthy and I had a vet appointment the next day. These stupid vets never did a full blood work, and why didnt I know that it was needed to be done. Why are these people vets in the first place if they dont know what to do? Perhaps if I left him at that emergency hospital nad ran bloodwork tests they could have started treating him 4days earlier. My God, I can only blame myself for this, how can I live with this knowing that I made this horrible mistake. If my baby wont feel better by today how can I still hope for better when there are no chances? Why cant he just get better?

Oh Kami - I am so sorry that little Miko didn't show an improvement. I'm still praying that the new vet can offer some hope.

Please don't beat yourself up about this. We can only do what we know and you trusted your vet to give you the best advice. If little Miko doesn't improve, at least you got to love him for a while and I'm quite sure he was very happy with you even when he wasn't feeling well. My heart goes out to you, but I'm still praying and hoping for better news. Big hugs and kisses from Sissy....

You did the best you could do and what any of us would have done...When you go to the vet you are intrusting them with the most precious thing you have and you think they know what they are doing, so don't beat yourself up..You did nothing wrong...I am really sorry that it isn't looking better, but have hope and be thankful for the time God gave you with him, My heart goes out to you, I have been there, but it doesn't get any easier its a hard road to travel but I am here for you and prayer for you and your baby.

Hi there. I am so sorry to hear about your baby. I do not know much about Renal Failure, but I am on another group with someone that had a older yorkie with Renal Failure. I can find out if she can help you if you would like. If not maybe someone on there can help. I know her pup didn't pass from the renal failure it was a something else she passed from. I can either get the info for you or you can come to the group you will see the link attached to my signature. We are always there to help. Good luck with your baby and my prayers are with you.

OH Sweetie Im soooo sorry! I know what its like to lose a sweet little yorkie puppy WAY too soon! You can't blame yourself though! I had my stuart for about 2 months, he was almost 5 months old. I was going through a break up from my fiance and trying to sell the house we owned together. He was my saving grace, he helped me through that first month so much!
He died from ingesting rat poison. I have NO idea where he got rat poison, I certainly did not have it in my house. It was horrible, I watched him die and I blamed myself. My vet told me if I knew he ate it, they could have pumped him up with vitamin K and saved his life. But I didnt know! That killed me to watch him in pain and then die in pain when I could have prevented it.

But like you girl, I can't blame myself. I gave him the best life i could have! I loved him and put cost aside when he got sick, trying to save him. Its been over a year now since his passing. I still think about him, and I get sad, teary-eyed when I think about it, but at least i know I took him out of that store and gave him the best possible 2 months he could have before his passing.

My thoughts and prayers are going out to you & Miko! I pray for a miracle for you both! I know how it feels to feel you found your pet soulmate

[kami999]

Thank You.
My babe 4me how can I joing the group to talk with others that might help? Please tell me

[ARCHIE]

Kami did you talk with the other vet about what they saw on the xray? Is it possable that it has an obstruction as we had discussed yesterday? Did the vet rule that out? Praying for all to be okay.

[kami999]

The clinic told me to be there at 2:30 to speak with the specialist that only deals with cases like that. I am praying everything will work out, and that he will get well and come home to me, my lil soulmate. I just wish to hear good news from the doctor that it is possible to treat it and that there is a possibility he will make it through this.

Kami, you can't blame yourself. We put all of our trust in our vets. They are the experts with all the training. They are the ones that are supposed to know what to do. It's their job to take care of these things. Especially when someone is so stressed and worried about their baby that the last thing they are thinking of is a list of tests to run. All you did was to get Miko into the hands of someone you trusted to do everything that was supposed to be done. You have done everything you should have. You are a great mommy and Miko knows how much you love him. I am praying that the new vet can do a better job of caring and diagnosing Miko. Prayers and hugs for you both.
