I took him to the vet and let's just say I will not be going to that place again even though they were helpful when it came to costs. We recently moved so we haven't found a vet in our area just yet.
Anyways she tried to tell me that he is malnutrition and extremely underweight. First off and others can vouch if need be, he is a very small Yorkie in body size. He weighs 3.5lbs. and this crack job says he should be at least 7lbs. Sure he could gain a pound if he wanted, but to say he should be almost triple the weight he is now is insane. His little body wouldn't be able to support the that.
She looked him over and said she didn't feel it was anything serious, just an upset stomach from eating too much and gave me some medicine to calm his stomach and stop the vomiting. They also gave him a shot of this stuff that is supposed to rehydrate him and told me to wait a few hours for everything to kick in and feed him a little bit of white rice and boiled chicken. If he vomits any more during the night that there could be something else wrong with him.
Like I said, I am grateful they helped me out with the costs because I didn't have the full amount of the bill, but other than that I won't be going back there ever again. It's not just her comment trying to make me feel like a bad parent, but her attitude in general was very catty and unprofessional.
Right now he is lying in bed with me and seems to be doing better. He isn't moaning anymore like he was. I am gonna feed him in a bit after he rests.
