Dainty has AAI we need help. DEC. 31, 2011 NEW YEARS EVE

In June of this year I purchased a Mini Teacup Yorkie, she has been such a blessing and wonderful addition to my little family of dogs, two boxers and mini yorkie. I named her Dainty because she was so tiny and petite. My birthday was December 2nd and my friends suggested we go out for dinner and celebrate my birthday. Actually one of my girlfriends came over to my house prior to going out for me to do her hair. When we left all was good but after coming home I realized something was terribly wrong. It is normally routine for my little Dainty to be waiting in her little bed by the front door until I get home but after being gone for a few hours and upon opening the front door she was nowhere in sight. I called her but could only hear her whine and upon finding her near the kitchen my little sunshine was unable to walk and very sick completely paralyzed. Not understanding what was going on I took her to the vet ASAP where they did several tests and blood work. They put her on three different prescriptions, kept her in the clinic on an IV for a week flushing her system because her kidneys were failing. She had zero appetite and was only being fed intravenously. After about a week although very weak she seemed to be coming around and eating. There was an additional problem, when she moved her head she cried in pain. The veterinarian stated it could be a problem with her neck not developing fully and she may need orthopedic surgery. I could probably live with having to put her to sleep if she was getting old but she is just a puppy only seven months old. Knowing I have already spent a lot of money on all the tests and x-rays I'm not sure if I can afford the expense of surgery. I am not one to ask for help but I'm left with no other choice. Was hoping you may be able to find someone that could help my little girl! She is only 3lb 6oz and the biggest love of my life. I love my two boxers too and they miss her little sassy step in the house. Please anything would be helpful. We have been praying for a miracle.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my letter.

Good evening friends,

The doctor called this afternoon and said surgery went well. He indicated Dainty is heavily sedated and will be on pain meds for a number of days. She is in a 24 hour facility and will be continually monitored. He said she is not out of the woods yet as complications can surface during recovery.

YOUR CONTINUED PRAYERS ARE APPRECIATED!!!
