I lost my precious Yorkie - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

wemple2 · 04-18-2007, 06:57 PM

I lost my 1st yorkie at the age of 11. He too was fine, then something went terribly wrong. It sounds alot like what you went thru with your precious little one, Mac. I only wish I knew then, what I know now. I would have definately taken him for 2nd, 3rd or even 4th opinions. An autopsy was a great idea, I wish I had thought of it. I still don't know what happened to Spencer, may he rest in peace, but unfortunately his vet said he was just old...I find it hard to believe, even though he was 11, that it was just old age...fine one day running, playing just like always, then, so sick, his little body couldn't take any more, he got so weak. We put him in bed with us, the night before he died, he was very restless, we had finally come to the conclusion, made our decision, we would have to have him put to sleep... but the little trooper that he was made it easier for us, he went to sleep, there in bed between my husband and I, and never woke up. The pain of losing him was bad enough, but not knowing why made it 100 times worse. I feel for you, and pray for your little one. I am so very sorry, I have no answer, I hope you find yours. May God Bless You. Kathy

I am so sorry you lost your little Mac, Bless his Heart. I'll keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you questions will be answered. Spread your little wings and fly, Mac. (((HUGS)))

God bless you and Mac. I am so sorry to hear of your loss.

I have been more than 1,000 miles away from my own 9-year-old this week and so your story struck me especially hard.

I think most YTers will attest that things can and do go wrong with these little guys every day, irrespective of age and regardless of past medical history, and it can go south very, very fast. I know that doesn't make your loss any less, but knowing that it DOES happen may help ease the second-guessing you are no doubt doing.

Thoughts and prayers are with you.

I'm so sorry for your loss. There aren't enough words to express the pain we feel when our little ones leave us but coming to a place where others understand the love we feel for our babies helps. So post anytime and know that there is someone reading it feeling or has felt the same way.

I am so sorry you are having to deal with such a loss. It is always a sad thing to lose a friend and loving companion.

I'm so sorry for your loss! I wish I could help you with answers but I don't know, I just wanted to give you & your family my condolenses.

RIP Mac baby angel!

I am so sorry for your loss! We also lost our first, precious little yorkie, Tashee at the age of 10 yrs. She also had a collapsed trachea, but seemed fine and just got very sick one night and before we even had a chance to take her to the vet she passed away. That was over 4 yrs. ago and we still miss her very much. I hope you will consider another yorkie at some point, not to replace your little Mac, but to help fill the void of his loss. Again, my condolences on the death of your little guy.

I would check Iams.com on their recall list. I read that Iams chunks Active Maturity was on the list. I don't know if it includes mini.
