Omg emergency trip to the vet!

Our little 11 week old darling was rushed to the ver after she got into our older yorke's food and over ate....I have kept their food apart and when she saw the chance she wolfed down his food!!!!
Her tummy was rather enlarged and she was throwing up... the vet had to take xrays, do an ultra sound, and check for hypoglysemia (becausse she would not eat because she was sooooo full!) It turns out they were checking for bloat and that can be very serious and life threatening.... The stomach can twist and they can die!!! It isn't comon in yorkie;s because they are so small and there isn't as much room in there as in a big dog. I read Marley and Me and I knew what bloat was so I was a mess.... $300.00 later!!!!

But she is fine... Thanks God for the 24 hour vet here. I have 4 vet numbers in my cell phone and I'm so glad I had this number handy!!!!

if your baby ever gets into aything and thier tummy is very very full, make sure you got right away to the vet! It could be life or death!
