My Yorkie has been so sick all week, and seems to have taken a turn for the worse. He has struggled with GI problems about once a month, I switched to a new vet this week due to not getting any answers with my last vet. Basically my week has gone like this:
Dozer is a 4.2 lb neutered Male, whom I rescued in October.
Tuesday, began the diarrhea.
Wednesday, we went to the vet. She drew bloodwork, sent us home with two meds- anti-acid based to coat his stomach to await the blood work on Thursday.
Wed night- Dozer vomited blood, and had a raspberry like collitus, and had been presenting to me in a foward "bowing" position throughout the night. Very restless.
Thursday early AM- We went straight back to the vet where he was x-rayed and given fluids. (He stayed all day long) He was put on Metronitozole 30mg for 3 weeks. xray showed inflammation throughout his digestive track. He was also switched to a new food, Iams Veterinary digestive dry food only. And continued on the other two meds. He ate his food, had a little more energy at home, especially before bed. Seemed somewhat normal before bed.
Thursday Night- Slept, but would get up to pace, then pretty much slept in a tight little ball up by my neck (which he never does) from 2 am till about 7. Usually he is up, swatting me, wanting FOOD. He was listless. I tried to get him excited, but nothing. I tried to get him to stand, he fell over. Again, nothing. Tried to put him on the floor, and again, he fell over. he lost COMPLETE motion of his hind legs. HELP. We RUSHED back to the vet. He has lost complete mobility in his hind legs.
Has ANYONE seen this. Does ANYONE have suggestions, support, ideas, ANYTHING? Im sitting at home, crying, shaking, worried. I dont know what to do, I see horror stories on the internet, and then I see miracles, but I dont want to get my hopes up too much. Im just beside myself. He was just a happy, perfectly little prancy puppy on Monday. I just want my baby back
