Ralphie is very ill.. - Page 5 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Oh hang in there. I know that feeling. I used to hate to leave TJ in the morning and I would race home terrified of what I might find. Ususally, he was still the same and I would feel so bad that I just couldn't make it go away. You are doing the right thing and I am sure you are heading in the right direction. Just curious though, did you ask the specialist about the Tylan Powder. Especially if they say he has colitis, that's what it really helps to stop??

Ralphie looks alot like my girl & it justs breaks my heart thinking about your worry. I was telling a friend yesterday that i worry about Tilula being to quiet but I guess she's just content. But to hear some stories on here about how one day everything is perfect the next a night mare. With buying the expensive food & all the other things we do to try to keep them safe, healthy while also trying to still allow them to be a dog just isnt enough. I think I'll continue as ive done in the past & rotate to a different brand each time one runs out. I hope they find out whats wrong w/ Ralphie & I hope its as simple as changing his food.

Remember you & Ralphie are in all our thoughts & prayers

I did ask the Dr. She said she will put him back on a low dose of Metrondozle .02mlls for at least 6-8 weeks. She is following him closely. Ralph is at a steady 4.2 lbs.

his energy level is improving. Just slow on the weight gain..

Oh nooo, I'm so sorry to hear. Poor little guy

Please post and let us know how he is doing when you can.

prettypuppypink · 02-07-2007, 05:13 AM

I'm so happy Ralphie is doing better. Sometimes it's necessary for them to stay on metronizadole forever. I tried cutting back to every other day but wasn't successful.

That's GREAT NEWS!!!
I'm telling you, once he starts to get better and better and then when he is at 100% for awhile, these painful times (for you and he) will just be a distant memory

Please keep us informed of the little fella
