Please say a prayer or a positive thought - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Tomorrow morning I am taking a lady I have recently befriended's 13 year old Yorkie, Nikki, to have his dental done and most of his teeth removed. The lady is 82 and rescued him 2 years ago and has since fallen on hard times and Nikki is her whole life. I am so worried something will happen. I am having the vet do the blood work first and take all precautions to ensure a safe procedure but he is 13. I would really appreciate keeping him in your prayers and thoughts. Thanks

I will say a prayer and send you lots of positive thoughts that all goes well. It is so awesome of you to do this.

Thank you for taking extra care for your friend. I pray that all goes well for Nikki and everything goes smoothly.

BonBon · 11-17-2009, 10:17 AM

It sounds like this is something he really needs to have done. He'll be much better off for having it done now. You're a wonderful friend to do this for her. I will send prayers and lots of positive thoughts for you all tomorrow.

ARCHIE · 11-17-2009, 10:23 AM

Sure Patti, be glad to send a prayer for that little yorkie in need of one.
Hope all goes well with his dental. Bless that lady for giving this
fellow a loving home too and you for helping her.

Most definitely! Keeping you all in my prayers, and sending positive thoughts your way.

Mom to Hot Rod · 11-17-2009, 10:54 AM

Done. That is very nice of you to help her out like this.

Patti · 11-17-2009, 11:27 AM

Thanks! He really needs it done as he wasn't eating when I met her and I have been giving her California Natural canned and he will eat that. When I took him for his rabies the vet said his teeth were rotted in his mouth and his breath is horrible. I know he will feel so much better after he gets through this. I feel since I do not have a rescue the least I can do is prevent Nikki from going back in to rescue and devastating his Mom.

Patti · 11-18-2009, 01:20 PM

UPDATE! Nikki made it through surgery. It was very extensive dental work. All teeth were extracted and the pockets were 9 cm deep. They said it was an 800.00 surgery but they would only charge me 400 as quoted. I though that was extremely nice. I don't know how I would have covered 800.00! They said it will be 14 days before he is back to normal. We can pick him up after 4. So thanks so much for all your prayers and thoughts.

BonBon · 11-18-2009, 01:22 PM

Wonderful news!! I was thinking about him this morning and praying all went well.

Judy in Waco · 11-18-2009, 01:46 PM

I am so glad he's out of surgery! What a wonderful thing for you and the vet to do. I'm almost in tears. He needed that so much obviously.

Thank you, Patti, for being the generous and caring person you are.

ARCHIE · 11-18-2009, 01:50 PM

I'm so happy his surgery went well. What a very nice thing for the vet
to do and your very special as well Patti. Your his guardian angel

He must have been in pain, poor baby. Wishing him a very speedy recovery.

Patti · 11-18-2009, 08:26 PM

Thanks!! When we went to get him, they showed us his teeth, OMG that poor baby. They were so rotten and disgusting. They had to put stitches in and he was still pretty groggy. The vet gave a 560.00 professional discount to keep it at the 400. I couldn't believe a vet could be so generous! He treats a lot of the animals from the shelter I volunteer at so you can see what a great guy he is. If I didn't love my vet so much I would switch to him. Thanks again for the prayers, his Mom was just a wreck all day and was very touched when I told her YT was praying for Nikki. Pic is of Nikki and his Mom.

YorkieShadow · 11-18-2009, 08:59 PM

What a wonderful thing you and your vet did for your friends Yorkie.
I'm so happy his surgery went well. im sure he will be feeling so much better in a few weeks. bless his heart.

Patti · 11-19-2009, 01:29 PM

Thanks I just couldn't let him suffer. I went to see him today and he is like a new dog. Even with all his teeth pulled and stitches he was eagerly eating something he hasn't done since I met him several months ago. He hopefully will gain some weight now and his kisses are so sweet instead of unbearable.
