| Files or Library Section Is there a reason that YT doesn't have a files/library/learning area so that websites and articles can be posted without them getting lost in the forums? One of our members, dwerten, suggested that there be a sticky about liver shunt and one about pancreatitis. Then I guess if we did those there would also need to be stickies for all other common Yorkie diseases like LP, CT and hypoglycemia. Anyway, that is a lot of stickies to clutter up the top of each section. The same goes for things in health and diet like vaccines and what questions to ask the vet before surgery. So would it be possible to have an area on YT with this information maybe next to "Regional" and "Donations" on top of the screen or giving it its own section on the forum? Does that make sense? Just a thought.

Administrator | Thank you very much for your suggestion! We will look to see if it's possible to implement this idea! If you have any important stickies/notes/files that you think would benefit our community, please let us know or start making a list and when we do have that section, we will be able to put them in there. Thank you! |

Heartworms Anesthetic Protocol Pancreatitis Homecooking "rules" Legg Calve Perthes First Aid Kit (taken from the sticky in the er section) I have nothing put together at all. There are some good threads about these things on YT but they are incomplete.

GREAT MINDS!! -- I was just going to come post the same idea & I see you are a day ahead of me! I think we need a FACT or FAQ Section that would hold all the stickies on imporant issues. To add to the list of ideas: What to know about dental cleanings Before spaying/neutering your yorkie Questions to ask when buying a puppy How to know if you are dealing with a puppymill/backyard breeder Dangerous foods Something on healthy food choices - we seem to have a lot of threads about is it ok to feed fruits & veggies Poison information & contact numbers Most common allergies - food & other (I recently read about a dog allergic to plastic!) What to know before deciding to breed (So you want to be a breeder? Read this first!) Finding a mentor for breeding or showing How to treat fleas How to remove/treat ticks Transporting a puppy Yorkie standards - including something on colors (and there is no such thing as a "rare" color ) How to find a vet Holistic practices/Acupuncture - with links for finding a vet who specializes in your area I think stickies could still remain in the forum they are stuck to, but if we created a library or a fact section - there could be another sticky - with just the link to the original sticky (does what I'm saying make sense to you all?) I think we could call that section something like: Yorkie Library or Yorkie Facts or Yorkie Reading or Yorkie Reference Room or Yorkie Reference Library

| Fantastic idea Could we add something about.... What about worming protocol Special recipes such as whelping pudding and weight gain What I see happening here is a YorkieTalk Book -- Everything You Need to Know About Yorkies A How-To Guide Each topic would be a short chapter - one or two pages..... Hummmmmm |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Hey all.....I still REALLY want to get The Library going. If anyone feels they are capable of writing posts/threads about some of the above mentioned topics, please let me know. See stickys in other sections for format ideas. Also....based on what I've recently experienced, I'd add to the list: Cushing's Disease Hypothyroid

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Update, someone has volunteered to develop some content for a "How To Choose A Vet" thread...so we will have that one checked off the list in the future. On the other topics....anyone, anyone....Bueller, Bueller? I will be taking on a few more as well...but I wanted to see if anyone else wanted to take a stab at something. I think we need a good thread on "How To Approach Allergies" (something like that, anyway)....
