I've talked to many people offline, and they said it's probably just an upset tummy and that it should pass. I will be looking for a new vet for her out in my city today. Thanks

Oh good! I'm glad Coco is feeling a little better! Can't imagine you without your dancing partner!

My two boys throw up yellow foamy junk when they have a sinus problem. Most of the time the only way I know is when they throw up and off to the vet for meds.

VainChick - Your little puppy may be just fine. All the dogs and cats I have had my entire life have thrown up occasionally. Throwing up or spitting up isn't necessarily bad. It just happens. If your pup is acting the same, playful, normal bowel movements, etc., I wouldn't worry.

If your pup's throwing up - just keep an eye on her. If she starts to act sick - not eating, abnormal bowel movements - not playing, etc. - then you should probably take her to the vet for a checkup.

I notice every once in a while that one of my pets has thrown up a little some place in the house......it happens! And, no one has ever been sick. Actually, I'm never even sure which one did it.

My vet says boiled children and cooked while rice when the tummy is upset and so far that always works. My two will wolf it down and I give that to them for two days, if all goes well. Anyway, when mine get a tummy upset it is usually because I give them too many choices. A high quality dogfood and a small treat is plenty, but they look me in the eye with that pitiful look and sure enough, too many treats or too much variety, like peeled apple and lamb/rice treats and Cheerios. You get the idea. The other time they have had tummy problems have been when they get into something they should not, like a lizard or houseplant. I learned the hard way to get rid of Sago palms, poison to yorkies! So, check around the house for anything these curious little furbabies can eat and make sure toys are not in need of tossing. I notice, too, my little one seems to be more sensitive to a tummy problem, Chloe seems less likely to get an upset so perhaps size enters into the issue as well. I'm sorry you baby has been sick.

Ok, you got a good chuckle out of me when you stated,
"boiled children". LOL

My vet also told me plain white rice settles their stomachs.

Take care.

So yesterday was horrible. I had my friends boyfriend check on Coco while I was at work. He called all panicked and said he was taking her to the vet. Coco had solid poop on the puppy pad then on the other side there was runny stool with some blood all around it. He freaked and took her and I freaked and cried all the way to the vet's office. They checked her out and said its nothing more than she got into something she shouldn't have and it's having trouble on the way down. Causing some irritation. So he gave her an antibiotic/anti-inflammatory and something for her diahrea. Poor baby. She didn't even care thuogh, she was just trying to play with the vets fingers and trying to jump and lick him everywhere He gave her some canned food called Hills I/D which is bland soft dog food equivalent to broiled chicken and rice. She's doing great. So far since yesterday, no throw up, diahrea at midnight (what a clean up) but doing well.

Thanks. She is doing much better. Her poopy is still runny but she is on an anti diarhetic so HOPEFULLY it will start working soon. We have a recheck with the vet today

[Yorkieluv]

You got quite a scare yesterday, but I'm glad Coco's doing better...Poor little baby, she doesn't even care that she's sick, she's just a happy sweet little girl Good luck at the vets

[chattiesmom]

I am so very glad to hear that Coco is doing better. Boy, they can really put us through emotional ringers! It's nice you could rely on your friend's bf to looke in on her had take assertive action and head to the vet. How lucky you are to have such GREAT friends!
