Sticky... Sticky... Thanks for the info and it's in one place. |
I am wondering why the link to the "obvious signs of pain or anxiety" symptom, doesn't list shaking or trembling as an obvious sign of pain or anxiety, unless I'm missing it. My dogs often can shake or tremble when hurting, though not always. |
Good Post, some things need to be in black and white for it to sink in........ |
Great post, Jeanie! Thanks for sharing this! |
nice to have for first time yorkie owners or even first time dog owners |

I knew about most of them but it was good reading them again. Fresh in my memory again. Thanks for the post. |
Jeanie - prior to making this a sticky, is there anything you'd like to add to the first post, based upon the responses in the rest of the thread? Bc once you make changes, I'll stickify the FIRST POST only - for ease of reading. You could add anything to it, even if it's non AVMA --- ie, you could add below the AVMA section "Add'l things that need immed attn" or blah blee. Or, just leave it as you initially intended. If you want to revamp it...leave the info here, and then I can copy/paste. :) |
I just wondered about a Yorkie going without water for 24 hours before it needs veterinary attention. I'd wondered if it shouldn't read "refused to drink water for 12 - 18 hours unless advised by the veterinarian". I also wish in addition to "injuries", "eye discoloration, swelling, prolonged squinting" could be added to #5 on the list. I've seen a dog out walking with such a red eye, swollen, very ugly and the owner says "well, I know he didn't hurt it - he's just allergic or something I think - we'll see". If they see the word "injury" alone, a lot think a stick to the eye or something they saw happen - something obvious. Like Nancy suggested, I would like to add "any human/other medicine not currently prescribed for the dog". Not being a vet though, I'm extremely hesitant to change anything. Maybe Ellie May & some others can add some ideas or maybe it is really okay as it is but I think if we don't keep it fairly short and sweet, it will get only partially read. |
What about this for #6 change (with hyperlinks kept intact): #6. Your dog ate something poisonous/dangerous , such as antifreeze, xylitol, chocolate, foreign object, human/other medicine not currently prescribed for the dog |
Excellent post Jeanie and glad to see it will be a sticky. |
