I agree with ladys mom and wonder why they didn't put your girl
on IV fluids to flush her system and help weaken the effects of the toxin ???

I'm so sorry you and your girl are going through this and I hope she pulls through with no ill effects.. you are both in my thoughts.
Please keep us updated on how she is doing.

(((( Hugs to you both ))))

Supportive care seems to be what is typically done. Here's a link with a little info on this... Ivermectin Toxicity

If she's not moving, turning her frequently can help to prevent fluid retention in the lungs. Good to hear that she's drinking for you. If she were to become dehydrated, fluid replacement can be done either by sub'q or by enema.

Prayers for a complete recovery for your little one.

Just seeing this now. Hoping that Tink is doing better.

Iam not sure how much help this will be but Dr Dodds is very knwledgable about detoxing an animal that has been poisioned with vaccies maybe she will know what to do in this situation? Here is her contact info. I think it is worth a try. SEnding prays!



scroll down pasted wierd.

praying that little tink is doing better, and is on her way to a full recovery xo

TINK IS UP BY HERSELF!!! still not out of the woods, but, she seems to be better today. She ate and drank very good today. I am giving her pedialyte as well.
Please keep the prayers coming I am positive that this is what is helping her be strong. She is not as wobbly today. She still seems to not see well. But, I am praying that she will make a full recovery.

As for why they didn't put her on IV fluids...I asked that and was told that if she was drinking and eating she would be more comfortable at home than in the strange vets office????? I don't understand why they didn't give her some fluids or SOMETHING...
I am so upset with the whole vet "system" right now I could scream...I felt like they just wanted to brush me off. Tink is advanced in age and I wondered as did my dh if that had/has a factor in their treating us the way they did???? It is not right whatever the reason. She is our girl.


Now... I have a friend that took her male yorkie Friday to the same 1 vet that we have in this little town....guess what he did to her Peanut? Yep, gave him too much Ivermectrin based wormer... She is now going thru the same thing. I am really ready to give this vet a piece of my mind...AGAIN.
Ijust found out about him today. I know how Payton (my friend) feels and what she is going thru. This is horrible, can't the vet be held responsible for this mess????

I am sorry that it took so long to update today. Everytine that I would try to get online, my computer would not "act" right. And when Tink stood up today, I wanted to shout so loud that you all could hear me.

Thank you all so much from the bottom of my heart...Rhonda you are GREAT. Don't know what I would have done with out you the other night.

Sorry so long. I just love you guys, you have all been so wonderful!!! I am so thankful that I have this site to come to!!!

Just got home tonite & checking for any updates. Thoughts of her all day. Hope she is a little better today!

It sounds as though Tink is a little fighter. Glad that she seems to be on the right track. Will certainly keep sending the good thoughts and prayers. Go Tink!

As for the vet, I would seriously consider finding another vet anywhere I could. I know you said that you are in a small town but if this were my only choice...The choice would be made for me.

Oh, the choice has been made...I am looking for a new one now. I may have to drive an hour, but, it is worth it so very much so. My little girl is fighting and if he had done his job correctly we would NOT have to be going thru this... This is just the way I feel.

I appreciate all the prayers thank you all again SO very much.

Happy to hear she is starting to do better! Glad you are searching for a new vet. What a mess that place seems to be.

The vet here is a cow vet mainly. You bring in a daintly little yorkie and I guess it blew his mind. CRAZY!!! I am so upset with all of this. I just can't believe that this has happened and all that she has been thru and then he offers no help.

She is in my lap now and seems to be all right at this moment. Not jerking so badly. I think it has affected her eyesight tho. :(

I am glad Tink is doing better, but I am still in awe about your friends baby going through the same thing a few days later. Did the vet "forget" what happened to Tink? Or does he really care? Good for you finding another one. He should probably stay with the cows, horses, etc... and leave all else alone. I feel sorry for the one who brings him a parakeet!!

Glad to hear Tink is doing better.
I can't believe that vet did the same thing to another dog.
I hope your friends dog is doing to be ok and you both really need
to find a new vet.

He feels he did nothing wrong..HELLLLOOOO!!! I don't think he has a heart. Just in it for the money. I will NEVER take anything to him again. It was just a simple check up, worming, make sure she is o.k.....blah, blah,blah, what was supposed to be a simple look over visit, went crazily wrong and then he does poor little peanut the same way. I am amazed that this has happened to my little Tink, but, another one too.
I pity that parakeet!!!

LisaD-that vet is a frootloop. I am so happy Tink is still with us. How is peanut doing? You know, word of mouth is ALOT of advertisement. I would spread the word about smaller animals and this vet. Hope you have a FB page!!

I would report that vet to the veterinary board in your state!

I hope little Tink will continue to improve. I will keep her in my thoughts and prayers..what a scary story. :(

:thumbup::thumbup: Yes LadyJane!

This link has information about filing complaints and has a link to the complaint form:


http://www.sos.georgia.gov/plb/newsletters/vet.pdf

Your quick!!! I am sure she will appreciate your efforts. Good job!!:)

Ladyjane,
Thank you so much.. I was wondering if such a "board" existed. I kept think of the bar for lawyers and knew that was not the right place. I gues with all that ahs gone on and lack of sleep....my brain is not functioning too well.

babsiam, little peanut is doing a little bit better, he seems to be blind completely tho... I hope this reverses. He is only 4 years old. And yes, he is a fruitloop and he will be reported to the veterinary board. He needs to stick to large animals only and maybe not even that. I am just so disgusted with vets right now... Her new one will have to show me something dynamic!! for me trust them.

Blind? (cussing) Report that man as fast as your fingers can type!! I know you said it has affected Tinks vision too...has that gotten any better? (more cussing) I am SO sorry this has happened to you and your friend. Let us know if you need any help with anything. OK?

Thank you so much, I just wish she would recover fully today.... You have all been wonderful to me. You don't know how your listening and support is helping me thru this.

Both of these babies vision is not right and Peanut seems to be blind. He keeps wlaking into things...doors, walls, shoes, legs. It is horrible. I am babysitting tonight. His mommie got called in to work. SO sad. Both of these babies. I have taken pics and little cell phone videos to show...somebody what this idiot (excuse my language) vet has done to my baby and Peanut too.

Might want to check to see if he HAS a license!

I am trying to find out if GA lists vets with complaints and actions taken against them. Here in TX, you can find that information about all vets.

Hmmm...some states hide disciplinary actions taken against vets...BUT it is a matter of public record. You can request that information. YOu might want to do that when you search for a new vet. ANother thing I always advise people to do is to seek out vet clinics that are AAHA accredited. http://www.aahanet.org/

Here is another link about vet complaints:
File Complaint - Vets and Veterinarians

I know exactly what you mean about living in the sticks with horrible vet service. The nearest ER vet to me is an hour to two hours away. The vets that are local are HORRIBLE. One local vet killed a boxer because he gave a vaccine while the boxer was running a fever!! I finally found one I semi trust but it's the neighboring state, luckily I live close to the state line. (30 mins.) anyway, I hope you report that nut case! I pray that Tink and Peanut get better quickly, poor babies. Do they have a vet opthamologist somewhere near you? That could check their eyes? I would look to a specialist. Even if you could talk to one on the phone just to get some advice. Best wishes to you and your baby..

LadyJane--Go Girl! You rock! I was wondering the same thing about if he had a license at all.

LisaD-Hang in there. As I stated if you need anything, I was going to say ask but....looks like you don't even have to, people up here a always willing to support in any way! Please keep us updated on the babies. I hope they soon get their vision back to 100%. We are always here....:D

Lisa, it's just the Best news that Tink is doing better!:D I hope & Pray that you get stronger & stronger each day sweet little girl.:aimeeyork
Absolutely, this Vet needs to be held Responsible. It's horrible what your baby is going through, but for the Vet to do this to another innocent baby (sadly, victim) is incomprehensible.

I know you were solely concentrating on Tink's health & to get her well, but pls do not let this go. I know you won't, but sometimes they have ways of getting around this. I remember years ago being outraged with my daughter's pediatrician because he didn't tell me the dangers of a medication. In his words, he said that any one could have allergic reations to any medication at any time.:rolleyes: Well, this was his way out of responsibility.:mad: I was very young then.
As posted in the other thread, I also experienced my Vet not having knowledge of what Ivermectin could do. This is horrible for our babies. Small breeds are affected the most. Again, I am just so thankful I found this site years ago.

Guess Who WALKED to my bedroom this morning??? And who was trying to JUMP out of the "tub" that I had her in??? Yep, Tink.
Her little feet walking onthe hard wood floor woke me up. I just cried. SHe is still a tiny bit shaky, but, is doing better. I am so happy.
Peanut is ALSO doing better. But, he is not as far as Tink just yet. But, I am very hopeful for him as well.

I AM filing a complaint with the vet board. This has got to stop. I have not slept and cried, and more importantly, Tink has had a heck of an ordeal to go thru, as has little Peanut. There is NO excuse for this at all. It is just too much. You would think that vets would be more aware of what is going on and which breed can have what and HOW MUCH... I am so glad that my girl is recovering. But, I want to hang the vet!!!

What great news!! So happy to hear that Tink is doing better! Hopefully Peanut will be right behind her!
I will continue to pray for both of them! :)

That had to be the best sound to hear. I am glad she is doing better and hope a full recovery is just around the corner for the both of them.
