Please is anyone up? Something is wrong w/ Koda

[erino77]

I din;t knwo what wrong with him, he is not right. he hadbeen fine about an hour and a half ago then settled down to sleep. since he woke up he has thrown up 6 or 7 times and seems weak and won't walk more than a few steps. He is lightly shaking, in his lower 1/2 of body.he is acting so strange, please, anybody, what could be wrong???? he is scaring me His eyes look sickly, like they are not opening all the way and his whole face in general looks sick. I gave him some karo to see if that would help and he still won't try to do anything, i dripped some on him and he doesn't even act like he noticed, he just keeps taking a step and laying down when i say his name he will flinch his ears so i know he hears me??? but he will NOT come over to me.He just doesn't look right!!! DH took my car to work tonight and I" have no way to even take him to a vet till he gets home after 10 am.....i don't know what to do for him? I am kinda freaking out here. he's just so slow at everything even the walking he is just sitting there all curled up and i can see his back end shake I don't know what to do please someone talk about what to do for him....it's almost 4 am and i am lost with all the knowledge i have ever read to help him....

Oh my goodness... I wish I had some wisdom to offer you, but the only thing I can think of is that he may have gotten into something he shouldn't have???
Maybe try calling a local ER and see what they say?
Depending on what they tell you, I think I'd be calling hubby home from work with the car or contacting a family member / friend / taxi for a dash to the ER....

I'll say some extra prayers for you and sweet Koda!! <<big hugs>>

Keep us posted!

like a reg ER or what we dont have any er vet places here, just if yu call the vet and he sais to come in or not I don't have anyone close to come as we live almost 20 miles out of town and it 4 am I just wanna cry some mmore like i have been, this is killing me to watch him and not know what to do

[erino77]

plus when i lift him up he feels rigid or stiff, and tries to roll over like he wants me to se his belly or someting?? what is a normal heart rate do you know? I think his is going pretty fast

[Mom2BabyNatalie]

It really does sound to me like he's gotten into something.... causing affects of some toxin.... I'd call your husband home if I were you.

Call your vet at home... see if he thinks you should meet him at the clinic.

Minutes count if he's swallowed something toxic.... (really not trying to scare you, I'm just worried for Koda)...

[Mom2BabyNatalie]

Why don't you try calling the National Animal Poison Control Center and tell them Koda's symptoms... they might be able to at least direct you as to what to do...

888-426-4435

I meant to add that I believe they charge a 60.00 consultation fee via credit card when you call....

[alaskayorkie]

I would call the closest 24-hour emergency vet you can find, even if it's out of state. Explain to them that you're unable to bring him in, and ask for their advice over the phone. This sounds serious. If you have any idea what your pup could have gotten into, you can also call the ASPCA National Animal Control Poison Center. They likely will charge you a consultation fee, but they might be able to help if you have any idea if he ate anything bad.

888-426-4435 (24-hour hot line)

Good luck.

(Oh, I see momtobabynatalie had the same advice.)

[erino77]

ok will get ahold of hubby
these are from about 5 minues agio

[Mom2BabyNatalie]

Does he have a high temperature?

A normal heart rate for an adult Yorkie should be between 120 and 160 bpm -

[Mom2BabyNatalie]

Oh sweetie.... I agree with you... he doesn't look well at all.... that picture with all four legs extended and rigid REALLY bothers me...

PLEASE get your husband home and get that lil' boy to the vet....

Praying, praying, praying........................

Just came across this thread and saw the pics of your baby. I agree that someting is wrong. I'm hoping you can find someone help you get him to a vet. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers. Let us know how you make out. We are all concerned - for both of you.

Hope you have contacted the vet and are on your way there already. I'm praying for Koda that you can get him help soon. Might help if you can save contents of what he throws up in a baggie & take with you, as well as any stool samples he has recently passed.

Good luck.
