 July 2018 pyloric stenosis "Wolfie"
Just read about Enzo.
We have an 8 month old Yorkie, "The Wolfman" that has been vomiting up quite a bit. But anything and everything goes in his mouth...since we got him from a supposedly good breeder near Oklahoma City, Oklahoma in January.
Last Friday night it started all over again. Our vet was out of the office Saturday morning, but saw her partner. $400.00 and multiple x-rays,shots, medications, etc.. said he would be fine.
By Saturday night, after they closed, it started again. Again all day Sunday.
Monday morning took him to our regular vet and she did more x-rays. It looked like he had swallowed metal objects she thought. She did surgery this morning (Tuesday) and called us to say there were no objects found, she thought it was Pyloric Stenosis. She said she would do another surgery on him.
Of course, we had no idea what this was, I'm 70 and my husband is 74. We have had 5 Yorkie Terriers since 1984. Four have been perfectly healthy. We thought Wolfie was as well. Now we are terrified of losing him.
Everything we have looked at on the internet said it was common in bull dogs, and other short snouted dogs.
Yorkie Talk has been the ONLY one.
Have others besides Enzo had the same problem? Wolfie is a purebred Yorkie. |
