Please keep Bubba in your thoughts Just to let you know Bubba is sick and I turn to my YT family who understand my feelings best . Tues. morning Sissy wouldn't eat her breakfast and when I got home from work she had vomited on the couch. Dh was home but didn't see her get sick. She wouldn't eat dinner and start vomiting bile. During the night she was sick in our bed so I told dh I was going to call the vet and gave her Nutrical. When I got to work I called dh and asked him to cook her a piece of chicken and see if she would eat that. I called him back and he said no she would touch it, so I called the vet and got an appointment for 1:30p and headed home. I tried to feed her and chicken and she ate 1/2 of it and kept it down and started to act her old self so I cancelled the appt. and she has been fine. Yesterday, when I got home from work dh said Bubba was vomiting and had diarrhea. He vomited a couple more times and when he wanted to vomit he wanted outside. I put him out and he didn't want to come back in. It was raining and when I finally coaxed him in he was soaked and muddy. He asked to go out again and didn't come in or come when called. He was hiding under the deck-soaking wet and muddy. When I finally got him inside, I said just let him vomit on the floor and I'll clean it up because I was afraid he'd get pneumonia. So I wouldn't let him out. That was when he began having bloody diarrhea all over. I called the vet and that could see him in a half hour. When the vet examaned him he said he either had Hemmorhagic Gastro-enteritis, had been poisoned, had pancreatitis, or an obstruction and was in an awful lot of pain. They kept him-put him on IVs-exrayed him and drew blood work. They have ruled out obstruction and pancreatitis. The vet called this morning and said he looks a little brighter but had spent a very bad night. The vomiting and bloody diarrhea started again about 2am and they had to call the vet to come in from home. So we have to see how today goes and they will plan from there. But as of now he is in fair condition.:cry: I have just been looking in the skin forum and there are a couple posts about sick yorkies so please watch your babies and call your vets if they begin to show any signs. Sorry for such a long post but it tears me apart to see him so sick. People considering a pet have to realize they are making a long term commitment and that they may become sick. I told my vet I just want him better and don't care what it takes. |
Aw, poor little Bubba! I am glad to hear Sissy is feeling better. I'll keep Bubba and YOU in my thoughts and prayers. Keep us posted, please! |
Hope Bubba feels better soon ... |
I have just gone through this with 3 of my Yorkies. It runs its course almost like a 24 hour virus. One of the most important things is to watch their water intake. It is important they do not become dehydrated. Even though they drink, they may bring it up. The bloodie stools can look very nasty and look like fresh blood. They vomit a clear thick mucus. It is very alarming if you are not use to seeing it. However, as long as they are drinking water they should be fine within the 24 hour period. Young puppies would need to see the vet ASAP because of dehydration but young adults usually survive the bout without any problems. |

Poor baby!!!! I'm so sorry he's sick!!!! He's in my thoughts and prayers and so is your family. :) |
I am so sorry he is not well, I hope he feels better soon!! |
Suzi went through this too :( I was so scared, and cried my eyes out. It was the first time she had been ill. My thoughts and prayers are with you and Bubba . Get well soon little man. |
Oh Joan I am keeping you all in my thoughts. I am saying prayers for you all..... |
Poor baby! How is he doing now? |
update 8;55PM The vet just called and said Bubba is doing better. He has not vomited or had bloody stools all afternoon and he seems much more alert. They will call in the morning with an update. Thank for your support. |
Glad to hear Bubba is doing better! I went through this with Nolee a few weeks ago. He was diagnosised with HGE. Luckily within a couple of days he was back to himself. He was kept at the emergency vet for 24 hours on IV fluids and mediciation. I will keep Bubba in my prayers and glad Sissy is better! |
hgosh, you must feel awful. I could read the love you have for him. He\'ll get well for YOU!! Carol and Jemma |
Sending some good thoughts that Bubba will be well soon and home even sooner. Hugs to you and Bubba. |
Glad to hear Bubba is feeling better. Cali had the HGE a few months ago and once they got some fluids and medicine in to her she was better, but a day later she was sick again and had to go back to the vets for the day and get rehydrated and again the next day. Hopefully Bubba\'s is more the 2 hour bug. |
