| Willis started with jerking movements HELP I just wanted to get some advice before Willis goes off to the vet, He has started having jerking movements, it is affecting his head front legs and shoulders, I was wondering if this could be liver shunt??? or maybe he is hypoglycemic, He has always been a very fussy eater, going off new food very quickly, and when he refuses to eat he brings up yellow bile, However the last few weeks his appetite is pretty good which is unusual for him. Before he had his breakfast today he was a little dissorientated, which improved after he ate his breakfast, but the jerking hasn't gone away. He is 7, Please can anyone give me some advice???????

| hmmm.... I am not sure I am not sure that he would still have hypoglycemic episodes at 7, and if he has a shunt that's a long time to go un-noticed. I think you should go to the Vet. |

| Is this normal for Yorkies.....the reason I ask is this....Zoe is my first Yorkie & althought I read up everything I possibly could....my Zoe too gets sick often. I have had accupuncture done for her, & my Holistic Vet has offered some naturopathic product for her....I have not used....but Zoe will eat for several days & then after a couple weeks....get sick & throw up bile.....why??? yellow bile. much like hollywillis is speaking of....is this a future problem for us? Please let us know Holly how it goes for you and Willis!! Take Care Penny & Zoe
