Yorkie put to sleep I am desperat need for some advise about my three year old yorkie.Ever since we got her its been one infection after another the vet gave us different type of shampoo and antibotics.They work for a while but as soon as the dose as finished it comes back again we have tried different tablets and shampoos.But we are still having problems. This morning while i was brushing her i noticed a couple of red marks on her back legs when i had a closer look it looks like another infection in both her back legs.The vet said last time we took her is that if next time she come with another infection it would be best to have her put to sleep.Because it is causing her alot of dicomfort so i was wondering what you all thought and as any body been though this before as i dont know what to do for the best.Any advice would be great. Thanks Joanne |
please get a second opionion. Have you tried changing her diet to a non alergie food? I have one that seems has been sick with either runny poop or skin infections since I got him. He is now eating prescription zd, and natural bal duck and potatoe only, no other food, he seems to be doing much better now. |
We Have Tried Two Different Vets.but They Both Said The Same Thing We Have Also Changed Her Diet But No Look |
The last resort is to put a 3 yr old down, over what I am assuming are allergies? Are these skin infections or what? Find a qualified dermatologist if there are any in your area and start there. Surely wherever you are there are Specialists? Good luck, I am in shock they want to put a 3 yr old to sleep:eek: Please give us more information on her ailments. and the things you have tried so far. Have you done an allergy test on her? Which kind? |
I'm not sure if there are hematologists or infectious diseases vets but if there are I would try consult one of them as you need to figure out why she's having many infections? Is she immune deficient in some way? Or other blood cell disorder? Is there a metabolic problem? I would try to figure it out because what if there is an underlying problem that can be resolved? |
PLease take her to specialists before you consider putting her down. Maybe these vets while might be well meaning have not come across the disease /disorder she has. There should be in your area center where there are all type of specialist. :eek: |
No Way!!!! I agree with post #3. Honey ,don't put you baby down. She's having a reaction to something. Go find someone whom is a specialist with this issue. If a dog has a skin issue, find out the cause,don't kill it. The vet should be ashamed ,and ou should switch vets. Good Luck....keep us posted. |
Does your vet do allergy tests ? It might be a good thing to know . |
The skin problem is secondary to another issue. I'd certainly seek out a specialist before putting one of mine to sleep. Here's a site with some more info... Pets Health |
I agree with everyone. I would go to a vet that does allergy testing. I would NEVER put down ANY dog (especially a 3 yr old) until they were tested for everything (JMO). My daughter's cat gets these ulcerated sores between his toes. The vet she was using just kept giving her cream to put on it and told her he didn't know what was wrong with him. She has since changed to the vet I use and they told her (after many tests) that they had never seen anything like this before and had no idea what it is. However.....they have been giving him shots and it healed! Now, they did tell her that it could come back but, with having these shots it keeps it at bay. I know these little ones can get quite expensive and it all depends on what you can afford to do but, I would try several different vets before I would make the decision to put her down. I really hope and pray that they can find out what's wrong with your little furbaby. |

Please try a specialist, even a holistic vet if there is one near by. .....he needs to find the cause and not just treat symptoms and that may be coming from the inside out....Good luck to you........ |
