I didn't smell him passing it or anything but the doctor showed me his belly was a bit tense and distended and said likely as soon as I got him up and excited going in the car, moving about, he'd passed some of the worst of the gas and then the doctor gave him that simethicone-based tummy cocktail, he was fine from then on. It is true that some Yorkies are drama queens when they suddenly feel bad or face something new they haven't experienced before, but still, it's worrisome that you vet didn't really find anything to even start to explain this.
My vet said it wasn't a common reaction but he had seen more than one Yorkie with belly pain refuse to stand or walk and I tended to believe him as he did have a big toy dog practice. Don't know if that was really true or he just said it to tamp down my panic that Scotty had something horrible going on but thankfully, he was fine after that dramatic episode. I hope your little one has no more problems like that! |
Come to think of it, oh yeah I gave her something different to eat that morning (Merrick Classic Grain Free Puppy Plate canned food) than the usual (Royal Canin puppy) the morning before the incident. That may explain your theory about gassing and that could be the case for my li'l Ava. I would have never thought of that have you not asked what she ate that morning. Well hopefully Ava just suffered a case of bad gas same as what happened to your Scotty and not anything else. Thank you very much for sharing your insights! I appreciate it a lot!
