| Hi Tina, Again, welcome to YT! From your description of the vet and their behaviors, I wouldn't assume at this point that your baby has knee problem. Bring him to another one (maybe even a third one!) to get the right assessment. We (people) do that when we get injured or with major health issues, shouldn't we do that for our beloved furbies too? |

| To chattiesmom, You have me chuckling! Yes! Cubby would love a little sister to play with! I do wish that I knew someone else in the area that had a little yorkie. Most dogs are too big for him to play with. Makes me feel bad that he doesn't have any little friends to "romp" around with... To everyone else... Thanks for all of the concern and advice. Everyone here is so nice! I don't know if there is a puppy lemon law in Florida. I'm not even sure where to begin to check into that, anybody?? I just went to Petco and bought the Tropiclean shampoo with the oatmeal, teatree oil, and aloe and the Tropiclean Oxy-Med oatmeal rinse; some Nutrical, the Veterinarian's Best Ear Relief Wash and Dry; and the Lipiderm fish oil liquid. They are really starting to like me at Petco!! I put the Lipiderm oil on his Innova and he looked at me like, "You've got to be kidding me" and walked away, he won't touch it. I might have to go and get some liquicaps and see if he will eat them like a treat, we'll see how that goes. Wish me luck! Tina |

Luvs Lulu Donating Member | Welcome I would definitely use another vet. It's in your best interest I would say. I would be rather pissed off about the knee problem. It's disgusting how shady people can be whether they are breeders or brokers. Sad that things have come down to the all mighty dollar. At least you are aware of things early enough so you can get him help and prepare yourself for whatever is to come. I totally hear you loud and clear about not giving him back. Four years ago I bought a Ch sired Shih Tzu and ran into some issues that became evident after a month and the breeder wanted to point the finger and say that my kids had hurt the dog. Meanwhile when I got him to the best Ortho Surgeon and he had his surgery it turned out that the pup had previously had surgery to correct the situation...so she felt rather stupid there. Thankfully my surgeon was smart enough that when he went in and saw the previous attempts at correction he had pictures taken so I could use them to do what had to be done. Let me tell you that whole thing ended up costing me to the tune of $5500 but honestly it was worth every penny becase I helped him whereas she would have put him down. I ended up having to place him in a home without kids afterwards because he would get grumpy that he couldn't be all the doggie that he was before with the kids. He is in a great situation now and super loved and spoiled so I did good there by him...no matter what. I think you are a great mommy and be blessed with unconditional love so that will make it worth it. I just got my Yorkie last night and he is off to the vets today for his check up. Hugs to you and your little one. |
