Cant offer any advise but have everything crossed that you have a good out come

RIP beautiful Angus :rolleyes:

So very sorry Anne. Run free Sophie

Anne, so very sorry. Reading your update on Sophie your bond with her truly shines through. Sophie was extremely lucky to have found you, together you have both had an beautiful adventure together.

I have yorkies and they don't get desexed until they have reached the 1 kilo mark and touch wood have never had a problem with them

Didnt realize there was a photo of Sophie on the rotti thread will have a look. Didnt mean to cause any upset by asking to anyone, sorry if I did

Find a good vet and get it operated on. If your in qld I can give you a name of a vet to talk to, cost would also be much less then $1200.

Update on Penny Its been a week now and she is better in some ways. She has stopped the rolling and thrashing around. I have been hand feeding her and using a syringe for fluids. I offer her bowls with food and water but she refuses to eat or drink independently. Is this a skill she will have to relearn or will it just take longer before she is confident to eat independently? She will walk unaided for a bit now but her head is permanently tilted to the right. When she shakes she will fall over. She has figured out that to do poos she needs to learn against the fence for support. When I pick her up now she likes to be held really close to my body, this must give her security. Before she was very aloft about teh only good thing to come out of this illness she is she more cuddly and likes to be fussed over.

Glad to hear Sophie is still doing well. You are doing an amazing job with her care. Any chance of a photo of the lovely lady please?

Quick update, Penny is looking a bit better and can actually hold her head up now. I can pick her up now and she doesn't do the death roll like she was a few days ago. That in its self is a relief as that was terrifying to watch/hold her I have been vitaminising her food which she is happy to be hand feed. She is drinking a egg nog mix of milk, glucose and egg and is happy to let me syringe her that.She doesn't have the balance to lap at the moment. Syringing her at least I can monitor how much fluid she is actually having daily. I still need to hold her when she goes out to the loo but she seems happier to let me do that now. At first she wasn't happy with me supporting her while she wee. So hopefully we are on the road to recovery and she will be back to her happy self soon. Penny is still crated and seems happy to just sleep. This is a horrible condition and hope I never see if again. Thanks to everyone for there support during this time

if your on the south side of Brisbane every Saturday there is a place in shailer park where they wash your dog for you for $10 or $15 for a flea and tick rinse I cheat and take my big ones there, they don't have a drier throe I don't have the energy to do it any more myself and my guys love them, come home nice and clean and happy

I would like to Thank Charles Kuntz for answering all my questions and being so very helpful I truly do appreciate your time

I dont vaccinate every year, she was last vaccinated in 2006 and I dont do the heartworm injection for the yorkies either.

Thanks Tony good to know that there are a couple of options.

Kavik Thanks, glad to hear your girl survived It is extremely hard to watch. At first I wasn't sure if it was a tick, stroke, seizure but figured it would be fixable with treatment. To have the vet say there is no treatment just wasn't what I wanted to hear, I wanted her fixed put her on a drip do something. Never felt so bloody helpless and frustrated.

Thanks Pugsrescue, With the little pug did they just do bed rest so to speak? I admit I freaked when he said the option was to put her to sleep as thats what most people do. She is my baby and if I can help her through this them by dog I will. Just seeing her so disorientated is heart breaking. I feel so useless and want to do something to make her better

My little yorkie who is 5yrs old has been diagnosised with Vestibular Syndrome. Quite scary to watch her as I though at first she was having a seizure. She cant stand and rolls on the floor, tilts her head to the right side and doesnt like me to touch her right side At the moment she is resting in her crate as the vet said there is no treatment and most dog do recover. Vet did suggest that most people just put the dog to sleep when diagnosed with this condition.. Anyone have a dog that has been through this? Looking for advice on how long it lasted until they were well again, any ongoing health problems eg head tilts, walking problems I have read a brief article that the web has but its pretty vague.

Thank you Marion

I "think" I remember someone saying there was a good dog Chiropractor out Jimboomba way, does anyone know? If not can anyone recommend someone that is good on the south side please? Will travel if needed to other parts of Brisbane if there is no one on the south side Have a Yorkie that needs to see one ASAP

what breed is a pupple

Never heard of it. I wish you both well throe and hope its something minor instead. Must be very frustrating

Yes its the bulldog

my last lot I purchased from ebay, 200 pigs ears for $160 plus I think $10 for postage

need to wait for another pair of hands as trying to take a photo myself all we get is blurry photos

Thanks will definitely get them to recheck it then. She is crated at night and supervised during the day and hasn't play with the others for ages. She sure is special, really curious now
