Hi all, I am hoping someone can help me. I did take her to the vet today, but she doesn't know what is wrong either. I took Beanie up to my friend's fenced in yard on Sunday afternoon to run around and she ate EVERYTHING, leaves, grass, flowers, sticks, bugs etc., etc. Yes, I tried to stop her, but you all know how fast our Yorkies are. She has a blast running around and being a DOG, so I love to take her up there.

Anyway, she conked out early Sunday night and didn't budge all night, didn't even want to get up on Mon. a.m. I had to get her out of bed. I tried to give her a little crunchy treat and she couldn't chew it, she just kept spitting it out and trying to eat it again. She wouldn't drink any water or even chew on ice (which she LOVES). I thought I would take her out and get some fresh air, but she didn't want to walk either. She was extremely lethargic. I took her home and fed her, but she had a really hard time trying to eat the food, and after she ate it she kept opening and shutting her mouth like she was trying to get something out of it. She did this on and off all day and night.

I called the woman I got her from and she asked me a bunch of questions to see if I should take her to the animal ER, but she thought I would be fine until this a.m. I took her to the vet and she examined her body, looked in her mouth, etc., and couldn't find anything wrong. I even brought a little crunchy treat so she could see how Beanie tried to chew it. She ended up giving her a fluid injection (because Beanie hadn't had any water since yesterday) and a Pepsid injection. She seemed to think she may have eaten something that made her sick. I tried to explain to her that she wasn't SICK, she wasn't puking, her poop was fine, she was peeing, it was more like her tongue or something in her mouth was hurting. She won't even lick me, which she ALWAYS licks me, she is a total licker dog. She won't take the ice or lick the spoon or anything that she normally does.

I had to go our for awhile today and I had my landlord stay with her and when I came home she actually seemed better, wanted to play with the ball (which she couldn't keep in her mouth yesterday). But now she is conked out on my lap again.

I am so distraught, I don't know what to do, she is doing the opening and shutting thing of her mouth again and again and she is looking at me with scared eyes, like please help me!!

The woman I got her from suggested I get children's Benadryl and try and give her that, that maybe she ate something and had an allergic response in her mouth, so I am going to try it.

I feel like going to the vet was a total waste of time and money, although I guess the fluid shot was a good thing, but I can get water in her by mushing her food and adding a lot of water to it.

Anyway, has anyone else had this experience? Do you all have any suggestions? I am so afraid that something is really wrong with her mouth or tongue and she will end up with an infection.

By the way, I just fed her and she is all hunched over with her tail down and she is shaking. This is what happens after I feed her.

Pleas help!!
