I would take him to another vet if it was me for a second opinion. |
I took him to the vet today and they are going to do the blood work tommorow after he fasts tonight. He is better today and I am getting nowhere with the seller. I am going to do everything I can for him. Hopefully he will do go though all of this. |
Another problem that will cause a pup to fall over and walk funny is Atlantoaxial Instability.. This is a congenital or aquired defect in the first and second vertebra of the neck... My Babybear has this but it can show up very early in age.. So if you find that this is not Liver Shunts please let us all know.. I can help you with this Atlantoaxial Instability(AAI/AAS for short)meaning with information.. I hope and pray that this pup does not have either Liver Shunts or AAI/AAS. The pup was acting fine up until he/she had these shots the other day?? |
These are the same symptoms Tina my pup had when she had a neurological problem. Steroids are the only solution to it, and are very cheap, so you need to get this pup to a knowledgeable animal hospital ASAP so that they can start him on the right solution. We had to go to a different vet with more knowledge and experience when this happened, and thankfully we were able to save and restore our pup's life. Best of luck, I hope you take the pup's condition very seriously! |
My Zoey Grace had problems similar to what you are describing. They first thought she had Hydrocephalus. She couldn't stand and when she tried she would just fall over. They took x-rays of her head and neck and found out she was born with Atlantoaxial Instability. The spine didn't meet the neck. It looked like her head was detached from her spine. She had surgery and is now doing fine. Have your vet to check for this. It gets worse as they get older. Keep us updated on what you find out. So sorry for the little one. |
I fasted him last night and put him in his crate for a good night sleep. He woke up this morning and began to bark for us to let him out. I have not heard him bark since the first day. When I let him out he began running around and playing with the other dogs. He seems like a different dog this morning. He is still alittle clumsy but seems much better. Still going to the vet for blood tests this morning. Ill let everyone know. My vet is very good and has mentioned all of the things everyone has listed. He wants to start with the blood work for a starting point. |

Good luck this morning. |
Vet did a quick blood test before the BAT and his numbers are high. Waiting on the BAT test. |
Prayers for your baby. |
I got the results of the BAT this morning and his levels were at 288. We have an appointment with the surgeon on Monday. Ill let everyone know how he does, I guess surgery will follow. |
Bless your heart. I know it's driving you crazy to see the little baby in this condition. Hang in there. Lots of prayers coming your way. |

We want you to know that whether it be LS or MVD, that this is NOT a death sentence for him, ok? You have caught this early and with the proper treatment, possibly surgery, proper supplements and diet that he can live a happy long life, I PROMISE YOU THAT. ...I am begging you to please DO NOT return him to that horrid seller/breeder, I am sorry to say but they don't care and they will either PTS or let him go untreated and suffer until he dies, so please do what you can for him, check into the Puppy Lemon Laws in your State and if you possibly can not care for him, please surrender him to a reputable Yorkie Rescue (they are listed in the Rescue Area Forum) and they will do what is neccessary to make him better and place him the proper home. Please keep us posted, we will be waiting anxiously to hear more from you and your baby. :( |
Wishing you and your baby the best of luck... |
:( I am so sorry your puppy is this sick. Poor little guy. I hope he will be ok .Please do what is best for him and your family:aimeeyork He sounds like such a sweet Puppy too:animal-pa |
Please keep us updated and ditto to everything that TLC said...Ask any questions, many of us have been through all of this...Did you join the liver shunt and mvd group? I can\'t remember if you said you did. They would be a very useful source for you at this time. |
