| Help! I can't get a hold of the vet!!!! NEED HELP!! I came home and found my yorkie sick and like shivering and she can't stand or walk. Like she is too weak. I thought it was hypoglecima (sp?) so I gave her some nutra-cal and that seemed to help but she is still breathing really hard and her heart is beating really fast 30 minutes later still and I am afraid she is going to die and I can't get a hold of the vet! |

| I agree. I think you need to take her to the emergency vet. It sounds like she was bred on her first heat. I'd be worried about something related to the pregnancy, mastitis, an infection, etc. |

| I pray this little one is okay...I too would assume it has something to do with her pregnancy. Please find a vet...some where...if you haven't already.

| It sounds like hypocalcemia. This is very serious!! I hope you were able to find a vet. She probably needs IV calcium. Please keep us updated!

| Update: We found a vet open! Just got back from the vet. I finally got one in three towns over (thats about 90 miles from here) and it was "Sugar Shock". I thought it was heat stroke, or hypoglcemia, even though it was not hot, the a/c was on, and she had not been doing any physical activity. So anyway, the whole way there I was rubbing nutra-cal on her gums on and off, because my husband has hunting dogs and said if they run to long/ have heat stroke, they get them cooled off and feed them nutra-cal. So thats what I was doing. She is SO much better now. He gave her some electrolytes and some glucose and in 30 minutes her breathing returned to normal and she was walking fine, just added really tired. He said she should be fine and to watch her close. I was FREAKING out when I wrote that, cause I couldn't get a hold of any of these redneck vets! What is the point in an emergency line if I can't call them in an emergency?! Anyway, she should be fine and she is feeling much better now and did eat a little. Thank you all for your help. Last edited by Jennne20; 07-04-2008 at 09:00 PM. |

| BTW: You breeders must, without a doubt, love to be a breeder. I never ment for mine yorkies to breed and they NEVER will again. My baby is getting spayed and my boy has an appointment to be neutered next week. As soon as the puppies are weaned, my girl is getting fixed. I was so scared I was going to lose her tonight, and then lose all the babies with them not being weaned. I can't handle the stress and the possibilty I will lose my babies, much less losing one of their puppies... I can't do it. If my Dh wasn't here to help me, I would have lost it.... |
