 Please I need help
HI, I am not new to yorkie talk but have been away for some time. My yorkie has diarrhea .. First it was occasional vomiting with brown diarrhea covered with a little slime. It then got darker and finally she defecated a pool of bright red blood, jam like... and this all happened in the matter of 2 1/2 days. I am in NY and temperatures dropped so I thought she initially caught a cold from me. I keep the heat on 70 to 73 degrees at all times just for her. I brought her to ER on Sunday and they gave me antibiotic which does not appear to be working because she still has diarrhea....very dark [but not bright red blood like before]. The vet took 632 dollars and has not gotten back to me. I cannot afford to take her somewhere else. She is active, eating plain chicken and rice and drinking a bit. She has not vomited in 2 days. Can anyone please tell me what this can be from? They did NOT to an xray to see if she swallowed something. They told me if she swallowed something she would have pain in her tummy.... Need help .... please get back to me ..please. She is only 4 years old and is a rescue. I have only had her 6 months and she needs a dental , shots, etc... but I am afraid to do anything else right now until I find out what is wrong with her. The vet wants to take a 'wait and see' attitude. thanks .. Lynn |
