and that is all we know so far. Our Yorkie will not eat or drink. She started to refuse to eat or drink two nights ago. Then the next morning she was vomiting, yellow, so we took her to the Vet. They did an X-Ray, and Blood Tests and says she has Colitis. They hydrated her with IV, and suggested we use a syringe to give her 20 cc's of water 3 to 4 times a day. They also gave her an anti-biotic. They said they are waiting for the blood tests to come back, so we know what type of colitis, and how to treat it. Does anyone have ANY advice/suggestions? She is still not eating or drinking, and I have managed to give her some Nutri-Cal, and 20 cc's of water, twice today, but it is a FIGHT to get her to take it.

I read on here people suggesting Pedialyte....should I get that instead of the water? I have also tried baby food, canned food, moistening her food with water, Karo Syrup in her water, but nothing is sparking her to eat/drink on her own.

Any advice, info, prayers, are GREATLY appreciated. By the way, she is about 2 1/2 yrs old.

Thanks!
