Thank you. I guess it just seems like a lot of sugar to a 15oz puppy.
He still really doesn't want to eat but the blood is improving. I gave him rebound and he gagged, poor baby.

If he doesn't start eating soon you will have to force feed him to keep his stomach stretched. Yorkies are very stubborn. He has to eat - it's not up to him right now.

I hope he's feeling better today.

I took the baby to the vet at 8am. He will stay all day. He is still weak and i'm not leaving anything to chance. My apt is at 4 to talk to the vet after his day in observation. I'll come back and post what they say about him.

Well 450$ later (for today ) and there is no real answer. Several fecals were done. A snap test for Giardia as well. Full physical, heart great, lungs great, gums, ears, eyes, all perfect. He ended up guessing and giving us flagyl mixed with a vitamin. and Panicure of all things because he said if it were giardia that would kill it..
tonight I am frustrated but other than being very tired my babies look pretty good.

I'm glad everything is fine. I went through something very similar with my puppies weeks ago and that's why I mentioned the force feeding. They were fine until mommie weaned them at 6 weeks - then they decided that they wouldn't eat. I force fed them by syringe the prescription dog food but that caused diarrhea. Vet gave them flagyl, caused them to REALLY not want to eat - it was a vicious cycle. We did testing for EVERYTHING twice by two different Vets and everything was negative. Tomorrow they will be 11 weeks old and they are crazy and wild and doing great. I think that keeping their tummys full (even though it was against their will) was the best thing I did. They are so stubborn!
