If this is a repeat of past problems it could be that your Yorkie has IBD. If so he will be ill over and over unless you maintain him on a strick special diet. You should discuss this with with your vet. Again I urge you to seek the advice of another vet. |
Thank you so much for your concern and insight. the stool looks tar-likem but it is very thin in consistency, almost liquid like. We just may call the new vet tomorrow a.m. if he still is feeling this way.
