Please keep us posted.

thank you all for your prayers. i have lily laying next to me with a little iv drip going. she has not had another seizure since this am. however she is real listless and acting so strange i have to help her down to pee pad she jerks her head up and whines and i know she needs to go. she is peeing like crazy with the iv fluids. she has only threw up once today and no poopies at all yet. i just cant believe this happening. can a miracle happen and it now be liver shunt or distemper. can they act like this with a cold or something?vet said could be respirtory infection yet he told me before her lungs sounded good and he did x rays of everything. not that it matters at the moment but you know this vet bill today was a whopper. funny how when they are sick we just whip out the dough and worry later about the fiances. i love her too much to put a limit on her. i just was hurt when vet said iv in hosp was high expense for such a low survial chance. i said then ill buy the supplies im a nurse and ill do it myself. he dut the iv in and sold me tubing and fluids. he said go for it she ll probably respond better at home anyhow. well ill check in again in the am .prayers she will still be my baby and not my angel by then.

All the best Becky, I am hoping this has a happy ending, I can only imagine how scared you must be. I pray Lily pulls though.

drabinowitz43 · 07-01-2009, 08:41 PM

I know you are going through a terrible time, but what you are describing sounds like little Lily may have a liver shunt. As the owner of a liver shunt puppy, I must emphasize how important it is right now to take her to a vet who is experienced with this very common disorder in Yorkies. She needs lactulose and a prescription diet to help her body rid itself of the toxins that are developing in her bloodstream and traveling to her brain. That is probably why she is experiencing these symptoms. I don't know much about distemper, but I think the likelihood of liver shunt is a lot greater. Getting her to the right vet may be a lifesaving decision. Good luck and I hope she feels better very quickly.

How awful! My heart goes out to you and little Lilly!

That really doesn't sound like distemper. Distemper has lots of mucous/congestion, a cough, etc.

It sure sounds like a liver shunt to me.

I hope everything is ok. Prayers are with you.

bonbon · 07-02-2009, 05:54 AM

I'm sending prayers for Lily. Please, do as others have suggested and get her in to MSU - why keep waiting and possibly wasting time she doesn't have?

Symph2001 · 07-02-2009, 06:13 AM

Praying for you both.

ChantalB · 07-02-2009, 06:15 AM

I was just checking for updates.

I hope she's ok...

Just checking in on Lily.

Wylie's Mom · 07-02-2009, 06:27 AM

Becky - PLEASE please please get this baby checked for LIVER SHUNT asap! The folks who've posted their concerns about this being liver shunt are so correct in being concerned about this - and they know so much about this issue and the symptoms.

If you re-read TLC and Ellie May's posts, those posts even give some thoughts on diet etc. if this is liver shunt.

We've seen these symptoms here at YT over and over, and I so hope you'll get this test - it's really necessary. If you can see Ellie May's vet, I know from what she has told me that her vet is just incredible.
