Next day he was throwing up again and I took him to his vet.....they said he was okay and sent him home with Science Diet A/D canned food.......they said to force feed him and he would be okay. The first time I gave him that food, her gave it right back to me...three fold. I rushed him BACK to the ER, where he spent the next 36 hours. The ER vet was appalled that my vet had given me A/D food and not I/D....he said A/D food is WAY to rich for a sick puppy...Thankfully, Toby is okay now (turned out to be gastroenteritis). W had another "no eating" scare and I finally decided I would keep a can or two of I/D food on hand just in case.......because he always seems to do this on the weekend when I can't get to the vet! Just a suggestion, but if you have a puppy that tends to get sick....it may help keep them from getting hypoglycemic.....hope this helps. |
POOR BABY !! Why would that 1st vet do that ? Did you call them back and let them know what happened ?? ALL the best to your puppy and I hope he has no more episodes - these little guys can sure scare us
and there's lots of yorkies with floppies - but Lisatodd is right - it's considered a flaw but we love them anyway
Shaving the top 3rd of the ear hair may help but after looking at your photo - I think they're going to stay down too - he's very cute and good luck with him !!
