| Please help, sick pup! My neighbor has a yorkie mix and last night he started throwing up and seizing. Later after he ate he was fine. but then this morning he was flopping around like a fish and had puke EVERYWHERE! She took him to the hospital and they said they didnt know what was wrong but that he had lost 1.5lbs over night and he was only 3.9lbs!!!! Does anyone have any suggestions? Have you experienced? If he turns out to be okay she might be giving him to me because he is so little and she has a baby and a big dog. She is very overwhelmed but she wants to make sure his health is not in jeopardy. Please help! |

| High Temperature, Epilepsy, Liver Shunt, head trauma, toxicity/poisoning are just a few things I can think of that would cause seizures. What did they vet say?

| I think they said that it might be poisoning or liver problems but they dont know. They were no help when it came to a diagnosis. She cant think of anything he would have gooten bad for him. he is very procted because he is so small and in a chaotic home |

| no they havent. they said it could possibly be liver problems but they didnt think so. The family is watching him overnight and if the problem persists then they will take him in for more testing. they wanted to keep him overnight but it was going to be &1200 so they said the family could for the night and see how it goes. |
