Our girl's first heat...questions

[horsnaround]

Thanks for the update hoping all the blood work comes back okay and it's just something you can take care of with antibiotics. Saying a pray for her

Horsnaround, that is so sweet! We so appreciate your prayers and everyones input.
What a lovely community of yorkie lovers....

Good morning my fellow yorkie lovers
We just spoke to the vet and he indicated that Maya's blood work came back and it seems her protein levels are slightly low and her enzemes are slightly high in her liver. I spoke to him about liver shunt and he reassured me it was not that. He feels it started with an infection of her intestines and he has her on anti-biotics and something else. She ate yesterday at the vets and she hasn't vomited and her bowel movement was fine.
He asked that we leave her today and pick her up this evening, at which time he will explain and provide us with prescriptions.
I will once again follow up with an additional post once we have her home.

God Bless this community for their love, prayers and genuine concerns.
Thank you for all your help and input.

Well we are back from the vet, who indicated that Maya has an intestinal infection. Her blood work as off but nothing to worry about. She's home and back to being herself....mostly...lol....she is moody with heat..lol

We were given Apo Sulfatrim 100-20mg, 2 tablets twice a day and zentonil plus, 1/2 a tablet for 20 days. She hasn't vomited and her last bowel movement was at the vets and he thought it was a good one....She's been eating and seems back on the mend.
We will bring her back in about a month and have her blood work checked again.

I want to thank everyone who responded to my cry for help, each one of you were very helpful, all the concerns, thoughts and prayers truly touched our heart.

We feel honoured to be part of this community and once we get this vet bill paid off....we will be putting some money aside so that we too can donate to this community. I will also try to add a photo of our girl.

It's scary when your little one's are sick and it is comforting to know there is a group of amazing people willing to help!

With love, Maya, Lidia and Gabe

Glad she is feeling better! Have you thought about opening up a Care Credit card? It's specifically for medical expenses, but not all docs and vets take it. Ask to see if yours does. When you use it, if you pay off your balance before the promotional period there is no interest. You really want to pay it off before then, bc after that the interest rate is ridiculous, like 29%! But it really helped me when Uni got sick, then I used it again for her spay.
