I brought Jilly home yesterday afternoon. She's not the dog that left
here Monday, and the vet thinks she might not ever be the same, but
she's improving by the hour. Yesterday she just had a blank stare,
today she conned me out of a pice of roast beef, so I have lots of hope
that we'll have Little Silly Jilly Bean back again... soon.

Jilly has a defect in her heart, I'm so fried from all this I don't
remember what they called it. The vet thinks there might be a genetic
component since we lost Tina to organ failure, and Jilly went down so
fast when anesthetized, even with the pre-op bloodwork. This little
dog's teeth can rot right out of her head, I will NEVER anesthetize her
after this. Taking rads in two weeks, hopefully the leg will heal
normally. I have gone over the area where she was when this happened on
my hands and knees, and there's nothing there. No holes, nothing. I'm
guessing she stepped on a little rock just right to cause the broken
bones. shrug

The good news: When I walked in yesterday to pick her up and pay the
final bill choke, the tech standing at the counter was a woman I knew
years ago from another clinic when I did a lot of yorkie {and sometimes
other breed} rescue. I'll admit I'd pull even 'lost cause' cases
because at that point I had the money and time to do so. She took
Jilly's file in the back, talked with someone, and came back telling me
I'd received a 20% discount because of the rescue work I'd done. Thank
doG. Saved me a little over $600.00.

No new van, won't be eating out much, or fencing the jumpers ring, or
making extra trips into town, or entering many trials, but we're a two
yorkie household again.

It's good to have her home.

yay! i was wondering how y'all were doing.

i sure hope so. the roast beef con is encouraging.

with a dog that small, it's hard telling. she could've been
careening around and gone arse over teakettle and hurt herself
on nothing at all.

that's what i call Karma.

hope she's better soon.

that's a new one. why would a raw diet be especially apt to
create weak bones?

Dietary imbalance?
It's so easy to mess up, and you never realize you've messed up until you
start having health problems. It sounds as if the health problems are
present, and hopefully if she can't find the cause, she will think outside
the box and help her dogs.

God you're a witch. No, the vet says her bones look great, that freak
accidents like this just happen.

It was only a little flick of her tiny tongue, and a bit of a tail wag,
but it was wonderful to see. Yesterday, nobody was home behind those
eyes.

why do you think that? perfectly healthy bones break.

when i hear "congenital heart defect," dietary imbalance
isn't the first thing that pops into my head.

Because diddy was unable to feed a proper raw diet, based on what little
information she's parted with, so by her reasoning, no one else can.
That and she just couldn't resist a dig at a raw feeder, being the witch
she is. Is it any wonder she posts anonymously?

HTH!

No, it's not. You didn't have a ****ing clue what YOU were doing, and
YOU messed up, not "the diet", whatever the hell that is.

MY DOGS, you evil ****ing bitch, have been in the Top Ten for their
breed for every sport they've participated in. Some health problems,
eh? Can you say the same? Oh, wait, we don't even know who you are.
It's really no wonder why you post anonymously, is it?

A good friend of mine, AKC Agility and Obedience judge, had the same
thing happen to his GR a few weeks ago, one week after achieving his
MACH. He was running in a field, and broke a toe into *8* pieces. That
dog has eaten kibble every day of his life.

Only *you* would take the agony and pain I've been through with this dog
and try to turn it into one of your rampages against raw diets. What a
gem you are.
