| HELP bloody dirreah Darrall and I just got home to find teddy(who was restricted in the kitchen) with dirreah all over the floor and blood on the floor. In the past week he has ate wire from a wii controller, part of a cd case, and has gotten into the trash(all while we were gone.. this is NEW behavior). The emergency vet you have to pay 100 dollars JUST to see a doctor and we don't have that and his vet office is closed until 9 what should we do?

| unfortunately they can't see him until tomorrow. We can't afford the $100 dollars JUST to see the vet at the other vet places and banfields walkins start at 1pm and darrall has to go to work at 1pm(he's military there's no"sorry can't work today" with him) I was told to just monitor him and see if he does it again and if he does to go to an emergency room. But now we doesn't want to eat and last night he wouldn't come out of his carrier(after his bath) so my husband laaid down infront of it with the gate open and teddy fell alseep on his hand. Now all he wants to do is lay in his bed or inmy lap.. but when he was outside he wanted to jump around and place and same when it involves my husband.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | He ingested metal and something jagged (from the cd case). This could be LIFE threatening. I'm sorry to say this, but: I think, at this point, you need to decide whether or not you're willing to risk his life. Because he may very well BE at that point if there is a jagged CD CASE piece ripping at his insides or metal poisoning or who knows *what* from the trash. I'm sorry, but those are the facts.

Senior Yorkie Talker | I agree with Darrall I'm not sure I would give him the pain medications until he gets checked out first. I hope that you can get Teddy into the vet today.

| ingestion a friend of mine had a dog that had similar symptoms and nearly died..the vet finally went in and if he hadn't he said she would have died..guess what they found ? Her topnot bow..it was blocking her intestines. Fortunately it wasn't sharp. The vet said another day and she would have been dead. First I was notified as I am the breeder and the vet at first inspection thought pancreatitis.. so no more top knot bows. |

| Why in the world would the vet give your baby bortedella when he is sick??? That is not a good vet. You don't give vaccines when a dog is ill!!

| These little babies are into something constantly. I have to watch ours like a 2yr.old toddler. I try to know pretty much what she is in to all the time. Even a change of food can cause blood in the stools. They are so little you have to be really careful. Watch the blood sugar too. When they are sick they can go into hypoglocemia so easy. I hope he gets to feeling better, poor little guy. That vet doesn't sound very swift to me either. Good luck. |

| My reaction exactly! Vaccines can be very hard on their little bodies. They never should be given when a dog is sick. |

I dunno why they did the vaccine he was going to get it on the 3rd. but they insisted on doing it today and he's my first dog so I didn't know it would have a negative effect on him. He did throw up this afternoon but hasn't since.
