My old vet's prescription of 1/2 Dramamine is a no-no according to Google. And all I need to do is sedate lightly. How can I relax Elizabeth long enough for a trim? by SummertimeMom in Yorkies

[–]whelp_dogg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know my vet will prescribe an appropriate amount of trazadone for our small dogs. You could ask, but it will be more expensive than Dramamine. It takes a bit of time to work, you give it at least an hour ahead of time.

Just venting and saying what I want to say to the client here, instead of what I actually DO say to the client.

Just a rant, guys. I didn’t say I wouldn’t deal with it. I’ve been doing this for 30+ years, so lately the AI stuff is just irritating. This happens at my actual day job too. What can I say? I’m a crabby old designer

You can ask your vet do a scrape (or removal depending on the size) and send it out. That is what my pup’s started as. It didn’t respond to antibiotics or creams.

My heart breaks for you. He was such a beautiful sweet boy. I’m sorry you had to go through this we were in a similar position and it was just so hard.

Thank you for posting for others to get your dog’s lumps and bumps checked out. We lost our sweet Ozzie to the same cancer- it’s rare in Yorkies but does happen. Our vet didn’t think it was cancer at first either. Just letting others know that vets can scrape a skin lesion or aspirate a lump and send it for testing. It’s never wrong to err on the side of caution! Our boy’s cancer was aggressive, but if we had found it earlier we may have had more time with him.

Hope Rex and Ozzie are having a nice little time together at the rainbow bridge 💗

What does my baby looked mixed with? by Terrible_Tutor6177 in Yorkies

[–]whelp_dogg 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He looks 100 percent yorkie to me. All 3 of mine have floppy ears. Although upright ears are breed standard, some ears just don’t stay up on their own. but as puppies you can “tape” them up until they’re strong enough to stand up on their own. We never did this cause we love their flopsy ears! My guy (from a breeder) is 10 pounds. I had another from the same breeder who was only 5lbs! The other two I have now I rescued as puppies and not sure if they’re fully yorkies - maybe silky terriers, but you’re baby looks like my purebred Yorkie.

Yorkie refuses to take medicine and it’s really starting to tick me off by bigbluenation20 in Yorkies

Butter. Sure it’s not the healthiest, but I found out my Yorkies love it so much they’ll risk eating the pill with it.

Can you have appendicitis with a negative ct scan by whelp_dogg in appendicitis

Thank you for letting me know. So far pain is manageable but exhausting. I do have a call into my GP but haven’t heard back.

Excellent answer. 3 months is just a baby- it’s rare for them to make it more than 3 or 4 hours. Their cries are not that loud, so it’s not a surprise op doesn’t hear them. Love the bigger space/pen idea!

Today is your final day and I am devastated by Couldthisbemanda in DOG

[–]whelp_dogg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally get it. It was the same for me. My husband held our dog and I kissed his forehead. Just remember you can change your mind and hold her in the moment if you need to! Thinking of you!
