Mallie is our new yorkie puppy...we just got her last Saturday. We went to the vet wednesday for check up and rabies shot. The vet said she looked great! He even said her didnt have the hernia the rescue group told us she had.
But, Saturday she started getting really sick. She was very lethargic, not eating much and having diarrhea (diarrhea is probably from new food), and throwing mostly digested food.
Yesterday she got even worse and started shaking and making weird moaning noises when she exhaled. So me and my dad took her to Medvet which is our ER Vet here. They tested her for Parvo (which i was certain she didnt have) and it was negatice. They couldnt really find anything wrong with her. They gave her a shot to stop her from throwing up and injected fluid under her skin because she was slighty dehydrated. We took her home and she slept the rest of the night.
Today started of really good. We all got up early (7 am) and she ate her mixture of baby food and dry food. She even was playing with my other yorkie, Roman. I decided not to go to class this morning to stay with her. We went back to sleep and I woke up at 10am. From then until about 12pm all she did was sleep. She began shaking again and moaning. So to my regular vet we go.
We saw the regular vet and he really did say much, other than the "little dogs get hypoglycemic really easy" I have known since I began reseaching yorkies before I got Roman. He did say he noticed she heart had an irregular beat. He sent us home with Mallie and said to give her some honey and see if she perks up and to check her heart beat and call later.
About 4 pm she was still lethargic and not eating or drinking. So we called they vet and the tech put me on hold and came back on and said that the vet wanted to keep her overnight. I ask her if there was someone there overnight and she said no. So i asked her what was the point of keeping her overnight to monitor her if no one was going to be there to monitor her. She said the vet would call me back.
The vet called back and said to bring her in and he would take another look at her. Again he found nothing, but he said he heart was beating normally now. He referred us to Medvet so they could run tests on her.
So my dad took her to Medvet at about 6 pm. He wouldnt let me go because I was pretty upset, and someone had to take care of Roman. So he texted me and said they took xrays on her, but hadn't came back with results and that they would prebably want to keep her over night to pump her full of fluid and such. Medvet is open 24/7 so someone will be there with her all night.
I'm so scared...Roman is my first dog and I've never had to hopitalize a dog over night. Mallie is so docile and i hope this wont scare her too much. She's just 15 weeks old and only 3 lbs. I'm so scared something is wrong with her
