| somethings not right with mieke Mieke is a 13 week old yorkie, and yesterday I took her to my moms while i cleaned my floors (she's decided that the swiffer is her sworn enemy) and when i came back to get her (it was like 1am) she was really tired and i didn't think anything of it i figured she had just played too much and was tired after about an hour of her sleeping on my lap she I noticed she was kinda shaking so i tried to give her some dog ice cream i got from shwans (sp?!) well she didn't want it and i was super worried about her and she was throwing up and it was just awful, and luckly she had a vet appoinment to get some shots today at 2pm and my husband conveinced me to wait it out When I woke up she seemed like 90% okay back to normal and when i took her to the vet she was acting 100% and when they were giving her, her shot I started to ask the vet but he didn't seem that concerned about it (i wish now i would've been a little firmer when asking)and now she's just not feeling well at all she's not very responsive to my voice she's avoiding me she's crying out when I try to pick her up, as soon as i got her home from the vet she had threw up clear...and i don't know what's wrong any ideas?! |

| Don't blame you for being worried. Do you have a doggie ER close? Maybe call them? So much can go wrong at 13 weeks. Hope my "bumping" it up will help get more answers.

| do you have some nutrical to give her? Or try some Karo syrup or even pancake syrup. It sound like she needs some to get her blood sugar up

| I agree, it does sound like hypoglocemia -- please be sure that Mieke is drinking -- it doesn't take long for them to dehydrate. If it were me, I would be looking for a new vet. I would never tolerate a vet who would not listen to me. After all, I am with my furbabies 24/7 and I know what is "normal" for them. Giving shots to a wee little one that isn't quite up to par can be risky. Good luck to you, hopefully she is just a little sore from the injection. |

When you tell a vet that a puppy has thrown up recently, the vet should be concerned and not give shots. Now your pup could just be reacting to the vaccines but what happened the other night is not normal. Shaking after going without food for awhile is probably hypoglycemia but shaking right after eating could be a liver problem.

| I agree with Ellie May...A vet should postpone shots on a puppy who is sick. A puppy who has a bad reaction to shots could have a liver problem as well...

| I called the breeder that I bought her from, she is really close with some vets that are about 2 hours from my home, The told me to give her infants tylanol (2 drops) and to make sure that she drinks water, after the tylanol kicked in she was acting A LOT better she would let me touch her but she's still relaxing on the couch today she's not 100% but she's not scaring me like she was last night, I live in the middle of NO WHERE and it's the only vet in my county so i think i'm going to have to find a vet a little farther away but it's all that matters thanks everyone for giving me suggestions, it really helped me |

| A vet said to give tylenol? No dog should ever be given tylenol. It is very dangerous as far as I know... If a dog is having an allergic reaction to a vaccine they should be given Benadryl. If they are just achy aspirin may be considered but this is debatable and I wouldn't do it... Glad your pup is doing okay though.

| Here's an excerpt from the following website...Healthy Dogs - What can poison your dog? Due to the significant toxicity to pets in relatively minimal dosages, the recommendation is clear - Tylenol should not be given to dogs or cats. Other, safer, drugs are available for pain relief; talk to your veterinarian about your own pet's specific needs. Tylenol is very dangerous to the liver and since this dog had such a negative reaction to shots, I would not take the risk...Basically everything is filtered through the liver and I would think this would be an overload on him. He just got his shots and had a bad reaction, and then tylenol... Like Ellie May said, typically vets will recommend a very small amount of benadryl for a reaction like that. Maybe you could can call your vet for advice.

| I remember not too terribly long ago there was something on the news about the swiffer (wetjets). Dogs were either getting very sick or dying because the spray was getting in the food or water. Just a thought..saw you said swiffer.

| Make sure you get some Nutrical to have on hand in case she gets shaky or lethargic again. If she is hypoglycemic, the nutrical will really help. Also, please be cautious with vaccinations. Because of the tiny size of the yorkie, it is highly recommended to never give combination vaccines or lepto as they have a very high rate of severe reactions. There should be a two week period in between shots as well. Dr. Jean Dodds, DVM has a vaccination schedule that has been adopted by the top 27 vet schools in the US. You can find that at: Vaccination Schedule Recommendations For Dogs Another great site for information is: HomeVet Medical Center [ HomeVetŠ Natural Pet Care] You can never be too careful with a toy breed puppy!!!! Good luck to you and hope she continues to be well.
