My friend Kim and Steve bought their first house dog with me and my husband in October. The girls were 6 months old at the time, full blooded Yorkies. Great kennel, great people to work with. The girls are cousins mine baby is Carlie 3.8 lbs and Kim's dog is Lexie 3.6 lbs at 6 months. Lexie was 4 lbs on Sunday but is now very sick, Kim and Steve are scared to death. This started early this week.
Monday evening playing hard running and jumping bumped her head, stood up shook her head, done playing. Middle of the night vomited twice.
Tuesday - Lethargic, loss of balance, afternoon perked up played seemed near normal
Wednesday - cant sleep. paces, cant get comfortable, loss of balance
Went to the vet, he thought it was hypoglycemia sorry about the spelling.
Treating Lexie with nutra cal. Blood test show liver enzymes are elevated. Bring her back in two weeks.
Thursday- worse more vomiting, Lexie is miserable doesnt know what she wants. Is eating nurd cal and lean steam ground hamburger with rice. Stools are okay, urinating as well. Cant seem to hold her head up for very long time. It appears her back is hunched like she is in pain, maybe from vomiting. We went out last night to see her, SOMETHING IS WRONG! This dog has been very active and smart quick to train. She paces and lays down paces some more. Did not sleep through night
Friday - Out to the vet early, kept her started IV's. Exray shows no blockages or broken bones. IV's seemed to brighten her a little, she slept on a heating pad at the vet.
Kim is to take her back for in the morning if no signs of improvement they are sending them to Iowa State University in Ames Iowa. Good vets I have used them myself for years. Oh one other thing when Lexie was neutered (Dec 12, 2009), she took forever to heal, allegic to stitches. Antibiotics etc.
Please if you have any ideas or thoughts we need your help, Kim and Steve are so attached to this little girl. Thank you.
