| OK I finally got a hold of an emergency vet and they gave us some instruction of what to do... Right as I was going to rush her out the door to the vet she stood up from where she was laying, jumped off the couch, and began viciously playing with a toy and running all over... Aye, it was quite a scare for me as you could imagine...she seems fine now, like nothing even happened. She drank a lot of water and I have been checking her gums every few minutes and they are normal bright pink. She is playful and responsive. I really think it could have been heat stroke. She came in from outside and was super hot to the touch, breathing heavily, and then the vomitting. I just think it was too much play in too much heat (it's over 100 degrees here today.) I put a wet rag on her and got her to drink some. Sorry to cause such a scare but I was terrified and my first though (besides the vet) was to post on YT bc last time Abs got sick I got better advice here then from the vet! Sigh...I am so relieved. Thanks everyone for the concern!!! It means so much to me. It does seem these things always happen on weekends... Thank you all! I will contiue to monitor her throughout the day...

| Get her to the emergency vet immediatly. Even if she does seem to be getting better. Do not take ANY chances! You haven't answered in a while so hopefully you have already gone! We are praying for her!! (And you!)

| I read that not only do our pets not sweat (and sweating helps us cool down) but Yorkies cannot handle heat. It sounds like heat stroke. We all need to be careful with our Yorkies this summer. I always take water outside with me when I let Logan play outdoors for awhile. But I don't keep him out too long. I think this is a wake-up call for all of us. |
