She has been doing really well and drinking water also. Not large amounts but she is so small that I don't want to over feed her. She did eat a bit much earlier this evening and proceeded to up chuck and I only gave her a small amount or at least I thought it was a small amount.
Feeding a chow/shepard mix which is 80 pounds is quite a bit different than feeding Sydnee I can tell you. OMW I am so scare I am going to do something wrong haven't felt like this since I brought Tristen home from the hospital over 19 years ago. Feeling a bit overwhelmed geeze hope I haven't done anything so far that will harm her especially since she upchucked. Viki |
The book I have on yorkies says that they get weak, drowsy, disoriented, and if progresses can have a seizure or go into a coma. The vet told me today that if the dog doesn't really respond to anything you do, just lays there or flops over then you need to get him to take karo syrup and eat.
He also told me to be sure the pup eats, and doesn't go more than 8 hours without food and water. This is the first time I've had a small dog also. We've only had 2 dogs before who were chows, and have had 3 cats for years now.
It is so different taking care of these little sweeties.
Just keep an eye on her, and the throwing up if she continues get her to the vet immediately.
And buy some Karo Syrup.
