| help! (repost) hello im new to this site and im stressing out real bad. my yorkie benjamin (6 months) had some real salty chicken soup yesterday. it was by mistake and it was at a relatives house. since then, hes vomited 2-3 times, and i believe hes been constapaited because i havent seen any poop lately. first thing he did when he got home was drink alot of water then he peed all over the couch. so today he didnt drink anything and no poop. for lunch and dinner he had boiled chicken w rice and still, nothing. every 15-20 minutes he tries to sleep but then he gets these really strong twitches where he literally jumps up. hes active if i call him and play, and i even went out right now and got him a baby bottle to give him water (he drank a little), and i gave him a quarter teaspoon of canned pumpkin about half hour ago... what should i do? im really worried especially with the twitching. i guess its stomach pains? i dunno... someone help me because its 2am and the vet is closed.... thank you in advance and i apologize for my spelling but im really nervous... |

| I don't have a clue what to do except comment so it can go to the top of the list and to tell you cept i am praying for him! maybe try to get him to eat low sodium crackers that should make him thirsty...also call a local emergency vet tell them what's going on and ask them if you should bring him in. you may need some pedisure (Pedilite i think it is the lite one) and force it down him with a syringe or something to keep him hydrated if you think he is not drinking enough.

| Hope to hear your baby is better soon. FYI Sodium imbalance can lead to seizures. I am hopeful your vet checked his electrolytes. If you ever had a dog consume too much sodium I would force water not a electrolye replacement like pedialyte. This would be great for a dehydrated pup due to other causes like diarrhea |
