I have a 2lb. 5oz. Yorkie boy; Biggie. About 3 weeks ago he got sick out of the blue while he was with Grandma. He started staggering, pooping terribly, wheezing (?) and vomiting. We rushed him to the ER vet. After a second trip, two blood workups, urine/stool tests, fluids under his skin, etc. they told us it was probably anaphylactic shock from a bee/hornet sting... no real results or definite diagnosis was given... we gave him a couple of doses (tiny, obviously) of steroids via pills and also antibiotics. That was the end of what we ever found out. Mind you, Biggie was excrutiatingly sick, and the proding and probing of the vet made him feel much worse (ie sore bum for at least a week, etc.)

Biggie seemed to be fine after about 3 days and has been ever since.

Yesterday, I noticed blood in his stool on his potty pad. He then had a 'wheezing' episode that lasted about 5 minutes straight and then several more shorter wheezing episodes. He began to poop excessively (very runny) last night, and was up multiple times in the night to poop more. This morning, after only about 1 hr. of sleep he woke up and threw up.

Here is my dilema: Although I am not rich, the money isn't the issue. I really hesitate to take him to the vet when they are going to traumatize him sooo much...he is simply terrified of the whole experience. Additionally, they ended up telling me nothing after mutiple tests and many dollars!!

Does anyone else have the same experience, and have you had a true diagnosis and/or solution from the vet??

Currently we are trying to stay with him all the time, but it is very difficult as both my husband and I have to work at some point!! Thanks so much for any input or advice.
