Emme is throwing up... - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Tcarnagie · 09-03-2008, 02:17 PM

He gave us some Albon, and he said that she did not show signs of coccidia but he was going to try it and see if it helps. She did like cheerios but I haven't tried giving her any of those since she has been sick. I did try a treat that she loves and she did not want it at all. You know they are sick if they turn down something they love. I will keep trying to get food down her and I give nutri-cal every 2 hours unless her gums start going white then I give her some more then and shove some food in her. Hopefully something will start to work and soon.

Thanks for you help!!

Cheerios are just great for her right now bc they are carby, quick to absorb, will give her energy, and may also help settle her tummy. I would give her a good little handful if she'd eat them. At this point, anything carby (but not terribly sugary) is fine - you really just want to get some food in her so her appetite returns.

Emme was not doing well today at all. I talked to the vet this morning and we was going to wait until tomorrow to bring her in....but things changed. She would no longer eat the baby food that was put in her mouth, she would spit it back out. The vet said to wait a little longer and then if she was not better go to the emergency vet. Well I DID NOT WAIT...I went to the vet that I used for Teddy. After running numerous tests....she has PARVO!!

We do not know what her chances are right now. The vet did say that she had already been started on the same meds for Parvo treatment from the first vet so that was good for her. She has already lost 3 ounces since Tuesday and will lose more. The gave her fluid injections under the skin, a shot for vomiting and a stronger antibiotic. She is home with me and she will go back to the vet in the morning and spend the day on Iv's and I will pick her up at the end of the day and take over the evening shift.

Please keep her in your prayers...I CAN'T loose another Yorkie

Oh no!! Oh I am so sick to hear this! Poor Emme and poor you too!! I pray that she can recover from this! I know it's not the same as being right there with you, but know that you and Emme are absolutely in my prayers and consent thoughts tonight. Please update when you can, but I know your first need will be to look after Emme.

Oh my gosh! I am so sorry this is happening for her, and for you. I know there are people who have brought their babies through this. I am sending good thoughts for your baby.

Mayas Mommy · 09-04-2008, 09:20 PM

... oh no the poor Baby .... I hope she will be alright .... please send an Update .....

TeresaM · 09-05-2008, 03:48 AM

I hope you both were able to get some rest last night. I was up and down all night and every time I said prayers for your little girl.

Tcarnagie · 09-05-2008, 06:09 AM

Emme is at the vet right now she will spend the day there and I will pick her up later. She will be put on IV (if they can get it in her) and then give fluid pockets when I pick her up to get her through the night. She did fine last night, mainly resting but she did walk to her water bowl twice so that is good.

I will know more later today when the vet checks her out and gives me an update.

Thanks for all of the prayers and thoughts....she definitely needs them.

I will update again later today.

Poor little Emme! I hope she can get beat this! Tons of hugs and kisses coming her way!

Tcarnagie · 09-05-2008, 03:58 PM

I just picked Emme up from her day at the vet and she looks 200x better than what she did when I dropped her off this morning. Let me just put it this way, she was nothing but a limp noodle this morning and I honestly thought that I would get the dreaded call today. They told me to check in after 2 and that was the longest time. When I called at 2 they told me she was still hanging in there. I was supposed to pick her up at 5:30 and I got there at 5:15. When they brought her out to me she was alert and looking. I took her in my arms and she gave me kisses like you had never seen before. We all were crying!!!

No...we are still not out of the woods yet but if she continues to do well like she did today and not fall back to where she was this morning I think by Monday we will have a better chance.

Your prayers are working and for that I thank you and love everyone of you!!!

Here is a picture of her after we got home when she went to get a drink of water. She has both of her front legs shaved for the IV that they have to give her but she is looking GREAT!!

TeresaM · 09-05-2008, 04:59 PM

Oh, this is good news!! She looks so cute. I'm glad she is doing better. I will continue to pray for her recovery.

Punkin&Piper · 09-05-2008, 06:02 PM

Poor baby I hope she is feeling better

TeresaM · 09-08-2008, 09:10 AM

How is Emme doing today? I've thought about her all weekend. I hope you both were able to have some nice quiet time healing and resting. Please give an update when you can.

mscat · 09-08-2008, 11:52 AM

I am very sorry your baby has Parvo. I read your whole thread and was hoping it was not a serious illness. I am now concerned and worried. How is Emme doing ?
Did the vet inform you that your going to have to disinfect your house and use bleach? Bleach is what is reccomended to kill the Parvo virus.

Tcarnagie · 09-08-2008, 05:04 PM

Emme is much better, they do not believe that it was Parvo after her blood work came back. They think that she had a bacterial infection in the digestive track but they still treated her for parvo because the treatment would still have been the same. After the first day of the IV she was alert and running around looking for food. The second day she did 1/2 day of treatment with IV and antibiotics and was released. She is back to eating and drinking on her own now and is playing. Friday morning I took in what looked like a rag doll that would not move and Friday evening I had a dog with a I'm feeling better attitude and then Saturday, my little girl was feisty as ever.

I have been bleaching everything anyway and I do have a product that is supposed to kill the parvo virus on carpets and furniture that I have tried. It also kills the HIV virus and it is used in vet's offices and hospitals. My sister was able to get me some to use around the house.

Thank you everyone for your kindness and your concerns during this time. Your prayers were heard and Emme is getting back to normal.
