Our yorkie that's only 2 years old, Macy yesterday we had to take her to the vet b/c she was very lethargic. She had no energy and as we know how Yorkies are they are full of energy. She had pooped all over herself, and it had blood in it. Vet said she had a bacteria infection and gave her a shot and some antibiotic. That night she messed on herself again, and got lifeless...vet said she was going into shock, so we rushed her to the vet...they gave her some fluids and some other injections and morphine for her pain. We stayed up all night with her and thought she was getting better just weak. We took her back to the vet this morning for bloodwork, and found out there was a lot of bacteria and toxins in her body and that her kidneys were already starting to shut down. Her level on her kidney's were 90, whereas the doc said norm was 30. Shes in the hospital now getting iv's....we're hoping for a miracle. SHe's only two and our baby. Anybody every experienced something like this?
