 My baby is in the hospital
I have a teacup yorkie that turned one years old on Christmas Day... probably the greatest day of his life...the next day he was scheduled to go in and have his teeth pulled since they are not falling out and he has many doubles. Instead we woke up to him throwing up at 7am and when I called the Vet and they said he probably ate something that didnt agree with him and if he didn't stop in a few hours to bring him in. With in a few hours he began walking into the corners and staggering. We immediately rushed him into the vets office and on the way he began to go into shock. It took 2 hours for the doctors to stablize him enough for us to transport him to a hospital. The x-ray he took showed no blockage and his blood work was not abnormal. So they belief was that he may have ate something that would not show up on an x-ray since his throat did look scratchy and the only way to be certain was for a hospital an hour away to perform a scope test once he was strong enough to go under Anastesia...Ten minutes before we got him to the hospital doing 90mph(the trip took 30minute) he again went into a neurological shock and they said he was non responsive and they were not certain he would make it though the night. It did not look good for our little guy at that point. With many people praying from him and skilled doctors attending to him he did pull through and is slowly getting stronger. Yesterday they said he needed a blood transfusion his blood count dropped because he is bleeding somewhere internally and they are not certain why or where. He was still too weak to undergo any surgical procedures but thank God he did well with the transfer and we could hold him last night. He is still getting stronger as of this morning and today they will take him out of ICU and he will be looked at by the Internal Medicine physicians to re-assess his condition.
If any of you Yorkie lovers have shared similair expreience please share them with us...we are feeling very lost and need any positive reassurance we can get. Also please pray for our lil guy Theodore for our lives would be lost with out him and he is only a baby with so much life to be lived. Thank you
