Anybody hear back about how he is? Oh my gosh. Even though I don't actually know you or your dog, I will stay up all night worrying about this now, because I don't have anything better to do !!!

I hope everything is OK.

I'm glad you're taking him to the vet! What you describes is scary! I hope it turns out to be nothing! Saying a prayer!!!

dianne · 10-25-2005, 07:45 PM

my thoughts are with you I hope everything is okay.

Most of us don't use pure maple syrup but we use watered-down syrup for pancakes. The better syrup if you do not have the very thick 100% maple syrup, Karo or similar brand, might be a better choice. Drop for drop, it will have more sugar. I always give a tube of Nutri Stat with each puppy I place with very specific instructions for use.
I agree with Virginia about his gums. They should be PINK; if they are LIGHT in color or WHITE, they are in shock and must be treated without delay. You did that and your puppy was better because you did.
We are still waiting to hear what your vet has to say.

Wow.. i would call the vet!!! Keep us posted!!

PlatinumYorkies · 10-25-2005, 08:47 PM

I hope the little fellow will be ok...You both are in my prayer's...

Hi everyone,

First off, I'd like to thank you all for your sweet messages. It really helps in times like this to have people like you behind me.

I brought Oliver to the vet and they took him right away. His temperature, weight, teeth, and gums all looked normal. They took him in the back to x-ray his belly and to run a bunch of tests...liver, blood sugar, etc. Everything came out normal, and the vet basically said that it could be one of two things. Either its the start of epilepsy, which she thought was a long shot because it usually starts when they're a few weeks old (I don't know this for sure, just what she told me) or it was just a freak occurrence that was possibly caused by overexcitement. She gave me some special food to settle his stomach and wants me to bring him back if he throws up again or has a similar episode.

Sooo...he's back home with me, a little more whiny and needy than usual but I guess that's to be expected. Lexi is being a concerned sister and has been smooching and licking Oliver since I brought him home

THANK YOU again to everyone for your advice and good wishes!!!

YorkieShadow · 10-25-2005, 09:31 PM

Im so glad all the test came back normal. Sending hugs.

Well I'm glad all the tests came out okay. This must have been a very difficult night for you guys, thank you so much for responding tonight, I've been checking this thread every half hour! (I'm a worry wart) I'll keep praying for his upset stomach, that's sweet that lexi gave him loves! Have a good night!

Glad that everything came back normal and I am just hoping that it was a freak accident due to over excitement..sending some get well kisses and hugs from Maximus and Me!!!!

I just got a call from my vet this morning and she wants me to bring Ollie in this afternoon to test for a portosystemic shunt

She went home last night and did a bunch of research and talked to the other vets in the office this morning, and just wants to rule this out as a possibility. They need to draw some blood and test the bile acid levels, so I'll know today whether he needs to go see a specialist.

Of course, I'll let you all know how it goes...I hope its nothing serious.

LoveMyBaby · 10-26-2005, 07:42 AM

oh dear, i sure hope they rule out all of that .. and he gets better soon ..
best of luck!!

Poor Ollie!!! Let's have high hopes that it was just a wierd occurance and a shunt of any sort isn't a possibility. Best of luck though this afternoon!!!

Julz · 10-26-2005, 07:47 AM

I just read this thread and truly hope it was just a freak happening and that he will be healthy as a horse. How does his mother act around him? Is she more stand-offish with him than with the others? This would indicate that there is something wrong. However, I sure hope he is perfectly fine. How very scarey that must have been for you

StewiesMom · 10-26-2005, 07:49 AM

I hope its nothing serious. Good luck to you & Oliver. and way to be a good Yorkie mommy
