Just read these posts and am wondering what the vet said. I took my puppies to the breeder's vet for the "free" initial visit and she was very honest with me. One of mine had developed coocidia and hypoglycemia in the to days I had her. If they get an upset stomach they will stop eating and if they miss one meal they can get very sick with low blood sugar. I had to syringe feed on of my puppies for a week so he wouldn't die and he was placed on an IV for fluid and stayed at the vet's for several hours.
I agree that if the "free" vet says there's nothing to worry about I would definitely find a small dog vet in your area who is intimately familiar with the health issues for yorkies.
Congratulations on you new addition. I am sure she will be fine. I hope she gets better soon. |
