I have a little baby named Mija (pronounced Me-ha). She will be 2 on Sunday, May 25, 2014. My husband and I were watching my daughter's puppy (a doberman) while she finished her junior year at college. While we had the doberman, Mija became extremely attached to her, "Dash", and shared her bed, her toys, her kennel...everything. Dash went to get her ears clipped and did not make it through the surgery. Mija has been depressed ever since. She is not eating, hardly drinking water, won't play with her toys, run, or bark as she once did. All she does is follow my husband or myself around, step for step.
I took her to the vet and she was put on anti-depressant to help her. My poor baby has lost 1/2 pound in 6 weeks.
We have changed her food, washed all toys, bedding, etc., even bought new stuff for her, but still she won't have anything to do with any of it. The vet said to give her yogurt with probiotics, but I heard Yorkies are not to have human food at all. I am so confused. Mija is listless, when she sits down, she immediately moves as if she isn't comfortable. When she does finally get comfortable, she goes limp and gets into some of the most uncomfortable positions, her eyes roll and I have to move her with force to get her to snap out of it. Vet says she is just depressed, give the medicine time to work. Well, she is on day 2 of the meds and she is even more lethargic and has no energy at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am thinking of taking her to another vet for a second opinion. Have any of you all experienced this with your baby?
