I will try and make it short and to the point with details to follow since I am depending on you guys to point me in the direction on the right thing to do…I have not even got to post that my fiance and I got a new puppy……..THAT RIGHT THERE TELLS YOU THE REASON…..new puppy says it all. That is what I need help with “ normal puppy stuff”…Long story short……Female Yorkie. 15 weeks today. W hen we got her she was sick……we had no idea….and I will be writing about that later because I need some help on that issue also. Her name is Myleigh and she is the sweetest thing…………WHEN SHE IS SLEEPING..We have a one in a half yard old make……….Tyson, picture perfect Yorkie Pup…which is the reason we jumped at the chance at getting his full blooded sister, different litter. Th second she was handed to us I knew something was NOT right…12 weeks, under 2 pounds….All bones and a whole bunch of fur……..FYI, Ty was are first puppy..!! Perfect in every way, so excuse our ignorance.. She is home 3-4 days, “ white flakes” when she goes to the bathroom, next day they are moving and off to the vet we go. Vet says she is FULL of Coccidia and worms……….TAPEWORM…….all of her Coccidia med is gone and that seems to be cleared up and half of the worm pill was give………..I’m a human nurse and NEVER in my short lived nursing career have I experienced what that poor little girl had to deal with the first time she went to the bathroom after the first half of the pill. I stood there and cried as I cut her puppy coat as the worms were running up onto her coat…..after that bathroom time she was good to go. She eats like a horse and plays like a puppy even when she was sick and has just tormented Ty since she walked in the door. About 48hrs ago I noticed odd behavior, she started sleeping more, still eating and playing, but with the holiday and everyone playing with her we figured she was tired. I gave her the other half of the pill last night and before we gave it to her I noticed the small white flakes were back and after she took the pill the bathroom after that was pretty much filled with what seems to be dead long white worms, some looked sectioned and after I cleaned her up she ran around this house like she was possessed, shaking her toys, she would whenever now and then so I would pick her up and she would calm down for a min. This went on for almost 2 hours. She kept drinking and she would go pee pee and freak out again running….like almost running from herself yet going crazy on her toys…she finally is laying down so she is now in bed with her dad and I am sad and I guess I know what to do……..bring her in but what is going on..?? I want to shake this breeder but that is have to wait……..I have a MD appt myself in 2 hours…….Idont know if I wait until she goes to the bathroom again..? Is she acting this way because she feels the worms…???? Constipated. All of this is breaking my heart and I just want to hear something good, bad or indifferent. I am at a loss and cant see her go thru this, she is so sweet and I want her to better…….HELP!!
