| sick doggy ok, my yorkie is 3 yrs old, and recently he has had several bouts of diarreah, tonight I came home to find that he had kicked poop out of his cage, and in his cage was either diarreah or vomit. I wish I knew which it was. and I wish I knew why this keeps happening. |

| There's many things that could be causing it. Not much info in your post but you do say he has had several bouts. That would concern me enough to see the vet. In the meantime, you can try a little Pepto-Bismol to settle his stomach. I use about 1cc per 3 pounds of weight. Boiled chicken and rice is very good for an upset stomach. If he's acting weak from the whole thing, try giving him some Nutri-cal or Karo syrup. Make sure he drinks plenty of water to avoid dehydration. These are just some things you can do to help him until you see the vet. |
