Possible Sick Puppy - Please help!!! My BFF has little boy yorkie and she says that when he woke up from his nap he was shaking and had a little bit of foam at his mouth!!!! :eek: She says it almost seems as if he's trying to get something from the back of his throat. This has happened twice now after him sleeping. Does anyone know what could be causing this? She is about to take him to the vet, was just hoping I could get some info from you guys. Thanks. |
How old is he, under a year, also what color is the foam, white or yellow? Yellow in a puppy under a year is common and could mean the dog has gone too long without eating. Either give a bedtime snack, or free feed. |
The dog needs to be seen by a vet to be accessed properly. It's very concerning this has happened more than once accompanied with shaking. A full blood work up and assessment would be helpful in getting to the root of the problem. Please make sure that she follows up with a vet visit. Today preferably! As for free feeding, I feel it is hard to keep track of the amount of feed consumed. Additionally, Pebbles while younger developed a guarding issue that is very hard if not impossible to correct. Please update us after the vet visit. I will keep the little guy in my prayers. :) |
aaw, I don't know what it could be but praying for him.. |
Poor little thing! I hope he gets to feeling better. I'd definitely take him to the vet too. |
Definitely needs to get to the vet. Please keep us updated. I will be praying for him. |
Thanks everyone for your speedy replies. The little bit of foam is at the corners of his mout and is white. Yes, he is less than a year old. Good thingthat she keeps NutriCal with her. I googled "Hypoglycemia symptoms in yorkies", and it sounds like what my BFF's puppy has. I have her puppy's sister and she has been fine. I told her what I read and what you guys said, and she is taking him to the vet post haste! I'll keep you all updated. |
Ok, so my BFF, Prince's mom took him to the ER Vet last night and they couldn't find anything. She said he was kind of sluggish too. Well, this AM she called and said that he had 2 seizures during the night and that she had stayed up with him all night!!!! She took him to his regular vet and they still couldn't find anything - even told her he looked healthy. He has still been having Bm's and peeing like regular but not wanting to eat. They gave her some special dog food that she has to feed him w/ a syringe. I'm praying that he is gonna be ok. It's so weird because my baby is doing great and I kind of feel guilty. Please keep little Prince Charming Hinson in your prayers. |
oh no, hope he'll be ok...it seems that the white foam might be associated w/the seizures now? if the pup has an empty stomach, they can vomit yellow bile, after that's all expelled, they vomit white foam...I had this problem w/Mimi when she was about 7 months old when I got her & the vet told me to give her something to eat before going to bed. she stopped vomitting. |

Not really getting any answers and espically with the seizures, I think I would go to another vet. A second opionion never hurts. Hope the little guy gets better. |

Did they do any blood work or did they just look at him and say he is fine. I would have to agree with the other posters on getting a second opinion. Some vets are not very good when it comes to these little ones. With him foaming at the mouth and having seizures I find it hard to believe that nothing is wrong. Praying for this little one. |
Sending prayers for the little guy. I agree with continuing on to another vet to get answers...time may not be on his side if the seizures become worse. How old is he and how much does he weigh? |
Signs of Hypoglycemia Most common clinical signs of hypoglycemia are drowsiness, shivering, collapsing, disorientation, seizures, listlessness, depression, muscle weakness and tremors. Lee Weston, author of the article about hypoglycemia (Pomeranian Club of Canada) says that "the entire sequence of clinical signs is not always seen, so close observation of your pet and knowing when your dog is going into a distressed state can mean the difference between life and death of your dog. Immediate treatment by a veterinarian is imperative, as recurrence of, or prolonged attacks, can cause permanent damage to the brain."
