| Emme is throwing up... Emme is 12 weeks old today and is about 1.9 lbs and she has been throwing up since 1:30 am this morning. Her throw up has a smell to it but so I don't know if I should wait it out or take her to the vet??? Should I try to give her something?? |

make sure you give her plenty of water even if she tosses it back - they can dehydrate very quickly at that size good luck ! Edited cause I saw your post when I posted - YES Go to the vet if her gums are white -

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | I just wanted to say again - get some water in her even if you have to do it with a syringe...if you don't have one - get one from the vet for future use - they'll give you one in case you ever need to do this again |

| Nutri-Cal is working, her gums have pink in them again. She is actually looking around now instead of laying down. I have left a message with the vet's office cause sometimes they get there before the doors open and hopefully they will call me back if not I will be there at 8. She just got down and went to the water bowl on her own. |

| Ok, we just came back from the vet. She was given some med for her vomiting and diarrhea (2 shots) and she was give an antibiotic. He could not tell what exactly was wrong with her except her tummy was tender but that could be from the vomiting, but her stool looked fine so if she is not better later today then I bring her back and we draw blood. She actually ate some science diet puppy food at the vets office and seems to be felling a little better. She is walking around so that is a good sign. Earlier she would not even move. I am soooooo tired right now but at least baby seems to be doing fine for the moment. Her gums have color back in them now too. Last edited by Tcarnagie; 09-02-2008 at 07:31 AM. |

| Emme is doing better today, she did not want to eat to much yesterday, but she ate enough to keep food in her. This morning she still has diarrhea but so far no vomiting. She will not eat the science diet food anymore and she won't ear her Wellness food either. I did have a can of mighty dog food that I opened and she ate some of it. I have brought her to work with me so I could keep an eye on her, so on our way home I will swing by the pet store and see if they have Wellness canned food. I don't like the idea of changing her food around especially seeing that she does not feel well but I have to have something that she will eat. I think there is something going around....I have heard of several people that have dogs that are doing the same thing. |

I don't know if I'd feed her another food until her poo firms up/tummy settles. I think instead I'd grab some canned/sliced or fresh potatoes (and canned pumpkin) and give her some mashed potatoes with a bit of butter - potatoes can help settle the tummy, give her instant energy, and are easy to digest. Maybe hold off on the dog food until she settles a bit.

I guess without blood work, I'm a *little concerned* with recommending too much protein, but - the toddler food that worked for Marcel when his tummy was bad were those little Mini Hot Dogs (for toddlers) in the glass jars (by the baby food) - I'd mush them up and he LOVED them, even if he wasn't feeling well. So, that may be something to try too. Babyfood is worth a try - though I know my guys never were too fond of it, but every dog is different.

Do you recommend any test that I should have him try??? She was 1.9 lbs yesterday and 12 weeks old. She has always ate good and this is the first problem that I have had with her. The vet did say that if she was not showing more signs of improvement then he would do blood work but I don't know what he will be looking for. Thanks so much!! | |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Since her appetite *might* be coming back, that's good - so maybe she just got into a little something. Otherwise, the vet would probably want to run a standard blood panel; beyond that though, with yorkies you often want to check the function of their liver/pancreas - so they may want to check that as well this time - or next time (depending on what they find from the general panel). But, it really could be that she got into something...it's so tough to say. But, you're right to be concerned with her size and not eating - bc they really do need to eat/drink often at this size. You're doing a great job staying on top of it though . Does she like cereal or crackers?

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Oh - and - nothing wrong w/ giving that NutriCal every few hours either right now.
