Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | It could just be a gastritis of some kind. If it is that, it's not uncommon for them to not feel well for a couple days. Sucralfate can help w/ nauseousness. Has she eaten at all yet, and if so, has she vomited...? Try giving her some simple carbs - like pieces of white bread / cracker etcetera. It can absorb nauseous juices, settle the tummy, stimulate appetite, and provide her some energy. If your gut is telling you that more is wrong - then call the vet and discuss and/or go back in. How is/was her appetite before this...?

Otherwise, maybe just acute gastritis. Or, could she have eaten anything off of the ground outside...?

| I hope your vet has rechecked that protein level. That is a very scary concern when the protein is low. Protein losing enteropathy is common in yorkies and a low protein can be a sign of that and/or protein losing nephropathy. Be sure to follow up on this!!!
