I had originally taken Deucy to that stupid vet because he had not been acting like himself...not playing with me, not eating, just laying around and even HIDING from me at times as though he didn't feel well. That's the ONLY reason I took him in. I asked for blood work to be drawn and when they did that, the Vet showed me that his liver enzymes were up but nothing else..so, then, he felt Deucy's abdomen and said...hmmm, does he poop ok? I said, YES...every day, right on time, without fail since he was born!!! The vet still said..well, I think we should give him an enema, I can feel some hard poop in there. I said, if there is ANY poop, it is from his meal today. If only I had taken Deucy and RAN out of there right THEN.............none of this would have happened. After the enema, I asked the Vet what came out????? He said, a little 4 in piece of poop. I said,........YEp...that's from his meal today. He's always pooped great after every meal but, yesterday he was not feeling well and didnt' eat much and didn't poop as of 1:30 when I took him to the Vet. He WOULD have pooped that out as soon as we got home, Im sure of it.

I hope this Metronidiazole 500 MG per day for 14 days does not SCREW HIM UP WORSE. I've read horrible things about it. I'm actually afraid to give it to him. I asked my old Vet today when she prescribed it about side effects or adverse effects...as I mentioned, she doesn't have a very pleasant bedside manner. Her response: BRenda, I wouldn't give you anything that would kill him". Yet, I've read where this exact thing has happened..and that toxicity has happened A LOT. Has anybody here given their toy yorkie 500 mg of it daily for 14 days?????????????????????
