Hi all,

I need to get on this forum more..I need some advice!

My 4.5lb, my 16 month old yorkie is not feeling well. This morning right when she woke up she vomited. I gave her 1cc (i think the small syringe)
of Pepto.
She was totally fine all day, playing, barking eating, jumping. Just now.. 12 hours later. She is starting to hyper-salivate. She is acting a little sad, like when I think she has a tummy ache.

I called 2 emergency vets just for peace of mind, and the only advice that they give is bring her in.. Normally I would, but have been laid off for over 2months now, and I really cant afford the urgent care bill right now if it doesnt seem so urgent.

I gave her another .5cc of pepto, and she seems to have stopped salivating.

One vet suggested she that was hypoglycemic, and that I should bring her in right away. Her gums are completely pink, and she ate nearly her whole bowl of dry food about an hour ago.

Any thoughts..or what to do throughout the night. Is it typical for yorkies to get sick once in a while like this?

when it happens all that I want to do is panic because i dont want her to be sick anymore!
