OH NO.. Madda is sick and not eating! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

cindy0721 · 08-08-2006, 06:21 AM

Since yesterday morning she has been a bit sluggish and not acting like herself. She was throwing up and continues to throw up, I gave her some pepto yesterday afternoon around 5pm and this morning around 6am she was throwing up (water mostly, has not wanted to eat anything)and I got up boiled her some chicken and shredded it ,does not want that... tried to give her cottage cheese, no go and continued to nutrical her. I sent my mom to go get her some pedialyte so she does not get dehydrated. Im going to call the vets as soon as they open but in case they cannot see her right away any advice?

Thanks I am so worried....

Oh I almost forgot she hasnt been outside lately so it cant be that..... I wonder if maybe its a ear infection and thats y she is acting really depressed and sluggish? All she wants to do is sleep?????

well this is just horrible, no one can see her until FRIDAY, and we are barely TUESDAY! She keeps throwing up,I dunno know what else to do, anyone?????????

You could try some gerber meat sticks buti doubt if she will eat that if she wont eat the chicken. I would just keep giving her pedialyte and nutrical and get her to the vet.

any idea what it could be? my godson was sick could she have picked something from him?

No they cant catch things from humans. I am not sure what it could be. How are her poos? Does she have diahrea?

How old is she? Give her pedialyte through a suringe if she won't take it voluntarily. Maybe it's her tummy. Put some plain yogurt in a syringe it give it to her. There has to be more than 1 vet in your town. Get on www.whitepages.com and call ALL the vets. I am sure SOMEONE can see her today. Otherwise, you'll need to take her to the emergency vet. Better safe than sorry.

I would give her the yogurt in a syringe. Try grinding up some hard dog food and mixing it with yogurt. When my little girl had coccidia and a very upset tummy, that is all she would eat. It made her tummy feel better.

If you can't get her into a regular vet today, you really should take her to an emergency vet, especially since she hasn't eaten since yesterday.

we are rushing to the vet now.... thanks!

chachi · 08-08-2006, 07:49 AM

I would not wait until Friday. If you cant get her into that one vet I would go to the emergency vet

heatherjean8737 · 08-08-2006, 07:51 AM

awww poor baby. hope she can get into a vet today and get all better!!!!

RLC12345678 · 08-08-2006, 07:53 AM

Please keep us updated! When you get back from the vet, please let us know how she is doing. Poor little girl

cindy0721 · 08-08-2006, 11:20 AM

She has some type of viral infection.... the vet wanted to keep her overnight or at least til 5pm to watch her but I chose not too, so she sent me with a antibiotic, a anti-nauseaus medicine and a ear flush.....goodness.... we waited for over 1 hour and 1/2...... she also gave her 2 shots....so hopefully all will be well with Madda. I cannot give her any food or water for 24 hours. So I hope she gets better soon, too bad I cannot find out what exactly she has!

The vet wasn't worried about her not having any food or water for that long?

Poor little girl. I sure do hope she gets well soon.
