I thought I was pampering him but I was hurting him. Since then he has only he has endured HGE a couple of months ago, and I have been up with him last night hoping he is not trying to go thru it again. I bet my neighbors think I am a crazy lady when I take him for walks and stop to examine his poo after he has done his business. I called yesterday every couple of hours to ask the kids how their lil brother was feeling...but I digress.. The important thing is catching these things in time and being very picky what goes in those little stummies. You sound like a very attentive mommy and have not made the mistakes I did. He is lucky to have you. I will pray for his complete recovery and give him puppy hugs from "The Gizzard".
Pixie had Pancreatitis last year and her intestines were full of ulcers. She is chronic and is on a special diet. Last week she was hospitalized with HGE for a week. I was told it could happen again. She's not the same as before her Pancreatitis attack. I don't know what to expect next. She can't go outside, her immune system is compromised and she can't have anymore inoculations. Pixie will be 6 on May but I never thought she would see her 5th birthday. She was never sick the first 4 years of her life. It is hard to see them suffer. I doubt if I would ever get another Yorkie. I owned 3 Yorkies years ago and never went through anything like this.
I hope your Buddy has a complete recovery.
Jessica
