| Please read, our little Yorkie is sick! I think our 3 year old Yorkie Paris is sick She kept vomiting a lot today so we brought her to the vet. The vet said to bring her to a hospital, but we're not sure, because she might have a liver problem (just to let you know, she didn't eat anything weird) I don't know how much the price is. We made her some food [chicken, rice, and carrots] and she ate well. Just to know, do you know a way to slow down a fever, that's safe, without bringing her to the vet? Thank you!

| So she had been throwing up today....you said she has a fever? How high? Did the vet do any tests? What did they tell you other than she may have a liver problem. I don't know anything on liver problems other than to make sure they eat a low protein diet. I guess it all depends on what the vet said and why they said to take her to the hospital.....I can't help on the fever either....sorry. I hope she gets better quick. |

| Why does your vet think it's a liver problem? What tests have been done? Any other symptoms? Was blood work done? If the vet wants her to be seen, she really should be. Yorkies can go downhill very quickly.

| Just my opinion but if there is a fever then there is an infection and the vet would have given you antibiotic for that, or are you just guessing she has a fever? What kind of liver problem? the treatment depends on the problem, the problem depends on test results. In Argentina vet cost I'm sure is very different from the States, I suggest you call the hospital and see if they can give you an estimate on cost. I really hope all turns out ok for your baby. Good Luck

| You need to find out more info. Why did the Vet say Liver Issue? If she has a liver shunt, chicken or any meat (or organ meat) is like posion to her body. Also asprin is dangerous, so please only give her meds from the Vet. Last edited by TLC; 07-02-2009 at 06:38 PM. |

YT 1000 Club Member | If your dog is sick with throwing up and possibly running a fever you need to go to the vet asap. Your risking dehydration and hypglycemia which can cause the little dog to go downhill fast. Please go to the vet. Before giving any asperine or any meds make sure you check with your vet on dosages and safety.

| Before she got a test and got high Bile Acid. She was totally healthy before, but when she got some vaccines, she started getting these problems. We gave her some chicken, meat, and carrots and she started to feel better. She's still not 100% cured, so she's resting. We gave her water so she stays hydrate, because her vet said that she wasn't. Thanks for whoever read this

| If she has high bile acids, more testing needs to be done and her diet may need to be changed, etc. Extra precautions have to be taken with drugs too.

Chicken, Red Meat, Exotic Meats and Organ Meat MUST be avoided. They are too high in protein and too high in purines, they are toxic and like poison to her body. Rice or Noodles as the carbs, veggies and a protein source like eggs or cottage cheese should be used. She should be seen by a Vet or knows about small breeds and liver shunts | |

Both of my boys had liver shunts. Cole was born with it and Milo developed one after eating paint at 3 months old. If it is indeed a liver shunt, a high protein diet is OUT! And, there are medications that will need to be administered in order for her body to break down and get rid of the toxins. This is nothing to just push aside. She needs medical attention. Cole's medical bills were in excess of $5,000 and Milo's were over $10,000. I pray that it is not a liver shunt and that your baby starts to feel better soon. Please keep us posted. | |
