| Not my yorkie but my chihuahua She is very sick...I really don't know what is going with her. She has been at the vet since early this morning, she has been vommitting blood and have explosive bloody dirrahea since lat last night. One thing that really confused me is that instead of running a fever her trmp was really low and the vet had to put her on a heating pad. Does any one have any ideas what this could be? Or what causes a low temp? |

| Oh my goodness! I am so sorry! I hope she is better quickly. I always thought the body elevates the temp to create an unsuitable climate for micro-organism population...to kill them off and/or reduce their numbers. A reduction in temp may be different. However, I have known people who would have lowered temps when they were sick and 'running a fever' though, so not sure what to tell you...I am not a medical person...but I do know there are situations where the body isn't good at maintaining its temp...cannot remember off-hand what any are, though...except that my pre-term second child had that problem for a little while. Poor baby...poor you...try not to worry even though it's a bit scary when they get sick. {{{Hugs}}}

| Did the vet not give you any ideas ? I had a dog years ago who bled from his bum and vomited. Vet said he had injested poison probably weed killer. Hope your wee one is okay and they caught it quickly enough whatever it is . My thoughts are with you all .

| It doesn't matter what kind of dog your poor baby is. Everyone here loves pets. I am hoping and praying that all goes well with your chichuahua. Please keep us updated. I know it is stressful when they are sick. They are part of our family. |

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | I'm so sorry your Chi is sick. We can only guess, and you already know that it is serious. Poison is what comes immediately to mind. How-ever your vet should have talked with you, and asked a whole lot of questions about her recent health. I will keep you both in my thoughts n prayers. Please let us know how she does. Hugs((( ))))

| She is staying the night at the vet clinic Even though I don't like it, I know it is what is best for her. The vet said he is not really sure what it is, but that it is some kind of bacteria because it is responding to antibiotics, he said that he would rather wait to discuss possibilities with me until he has the lab reports. The only thing I know for sure is that it is not parvo. |

| And that all the stool tests came back negative, so now we have to wait for the blood tests to come back from the lab. He said he is treating her symptomatically along with the iv fluids and the antibiotics. So we are in a holding pattern and just doing a lot of praying right now. I went to see her before the office closed and she looks a lot better than she did, but still not great. She was happy to see me though and I got a couple of tail wags out of it. I will go over and visit with her first thing tomorrow morning. I will keep you posted |
