The vet has given him 3 prescriptions, 1 to lower his phosphate levels, another to help any digestive system ulcers that could have appeared, and on to lower his acid levels(digestive system).

I got him to eat some rice and hamburger, about 1/4 of a cup. It is now a waiting game of nursing him, and seeing if he goes up hill or down hill.

on a different note, Yorkie24U, please do not lecture me. I fully realize what you are saying, but do not speak to me as if I did nothing for him. I was doing all that I could, and I did come here for MORE help. You were not here, you do not know how things happened. There is NO emergency vet around, I live in a rural area. The vet said he could come in after he did his early morning "farm chores". If coming online is going to be reprimanded with attitude, then there is no need for a sick & injured forum. I am not disagreeing with what you said, but how you said it. Posts of that manner only discourage help on this site. That is all that I have to say to you. I do not need this.

I'm glad you got him to the vet!!! Hopefully we'll hear more good news of his progress. As for no emergency vet being around, if theres anyone who DOESN'T believe you, I can vouche, I've been in Southern Illinois and there is NOTHING, so I believe that their wouldn't be an emergency vet around you
