If it were full blown HGE they would not have let me take him home. He did get anti nausea meds and subq fluids. He has a script for antibiotics for an intestinal infection. Vet took blood to test for his red blood cells, Lymes, heart worm and pancreatitis I think. I'm waiting for a call back. He has not thrown up or had diarrhea since this morning. He had a tiny bit of loose stool at the vets so they are testing that too. It was only semi soft and definitely had form, so that's good.
She thinks he pulled his shoulder or strained it. He seemed sore in his shoulder. She didn't want to give him anything tho in case it upset his stomach more. So we are home, he's sleepy, but not lethargic. Everything is good! Thank god! |
I just learned recently that shoulder issues are common in yorkies. I was at the surgeon with Cookie and he was talking about it. I had never heard that before.
So happy to hear that Fletcher does not have HGE. I honestly thought it probably was not because I have never heard of a vet sending a pup home with that diagnosis. Since he has had this issue frequently and you suspect the pig's ears, I would try to not use them for a while and see if it helps. If not, I still think a further work up should be done to be sure that something else is not going on. He could have IBD which is also common in yorkies.
