| sick yorkie help! My little girl is 2 1/2 years old. About a month ago she started vomiting the white stuff and then started vomiting bile, not often but maybe every 2 days. . Next she was vomiting her food undigested! I took her to the vet and he put he put her on Hill's ID. She had also lost about 3/4 pound, weighing a little over 5 #. She didn't improve so he kept her 4 days and she started feeling better. 3--4 days later same thing. He did a barium test with and without food and this was negative. she was also kept at the vet's for 4 days again. Brought her home and she acted normally for 3-4 days, eating her chicken soup for the dog lover's soul. She was doing good on that till yesterday morning, started acting sick again. I put her on the ID again, and she ate it with gusto. Then late afternoon she started pacing so, after reading this site I gave her a few crumbs of tums, didn't have pepcid. When we went to bed she vomited up her ID undigested, just more moist. I am going to take her in to my vet this am and see if I can get some results from earlier testing. She is now weighing just over 4#. I was hoping someone could give me some info. She is a beautiful little girl. Donna |

| I am not sure but has your vet done a xray? we had a Golden Retriver that had blockage in his intestins and had to have surgery. I really hope your vet can get answers for you. |

| Thanks for replying. Yes he did x-ray first thing and then also as he was doing the barium tests. I left her again and he plans to do some blood work. I will pick her up (20 mile drive) and see what he says. |

| I really need help. I didn't get the results or even info on the type of tests my vet has given Zoe. I asked him if he did a blood panel and he said bring her in and he'd do it, that was yesterday. She has pretty much stopped eating and has watery bowels (hasn't had an episode for 2 hours). I called today and he said the blood work, blood was taken from the side of her neck, showed her thyroid was low and he would figure out the dosage tomorrow!! and call me. I called the MU animal clinic, and they can't take her until 10th of June. This vet is probably more up to date than the others in my area, Any one have any ideas about a low thyroid or any of this? |

| Hoping your baby get's better real soon. Has your pup been wormed? Just a suggestion. Bud was very sick for almost 4mos and I changed vet's before starting testing he suggested the cheapest and wormed him. It worked. It seems, not showing up in his stools, he had a lonely MALE parisite in his intestines which do not lay eggs therefore nothing to see in the stools. I wormed him, per meds from the vet, and within 24 hours he stopped throwing up and had a solid stool for the first time in 4mos. He also lost 1lb. PS He was wormed as a baby but never after. He was 2 when this occured. Last edited by ARCHIE; 05-29-2008 at 12:44 PM. |

| Please, do not puzzle your vet over. It seems he knows what he is doing. He just needs more time to complete his study of that problem.I think he is aware of the situation better than anyone else here in forum Please, keep us all posted about your babie's condition. I think she will be needing a special diet (most likely some homecooking)when she is back from the vet. Ask your vet about proper menu. Good Luck!!! |

| Thanks for all of your responses. Her tests showed that her thyroid is not working right. She is feeling better, actually squeakng her toys. She got her first dose tonight, and there are a lot of pills in that bottle! Maybe her hair will grow better now. Thanks again for your concern. Donna |
