Not eating-Vomitting after water/nutracal and Diarrhea! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Hey all my little one is now 18 mnths and this morning I noticed her being very lethargic but just took it as her not being ready to wake up yet

. I put her outside to make #1 and #2 as I always do first thing,she went normally and came back in the house but then ran out again and pooped this time total wet(yuck). I then tried to feed her at her normal time and she didn't want to even go near it nor any water so I still didn't think anything of it and we went in the bed to lounge a little more and I noticed her shaking and she felt hot I then instantly knew my little pearla is not acting herself and must be sick..we got up again and I tried to give her a treat and still nothing her lethargic energy alarmed me so I gave her nutra-cal and some water in a syringe...5 mins later she threw that up. I took her out again and she pooped 3 times all wet and smelly and one looked like it had a little dark blood spec in it. I took her to the Emergency Vet and they ran all her blood work($225) it actually came back fine..so they put her on Amoxicillian and 1/4 tab of pepcid with a bland diet of pasta, white rice and potatos, boiled chicken...they said its a stomach bug/gastroenteritis. She still doesn't want to get up and or eat/drink anything do I force her to drink I'm a little nervous as to the extend of how long they can go without eating/drinking
(they did give her iv liquids in the emergency today)

wel you did the right thing at least you took her to the vet and they gave her want she needed. I hope she feels better soon

glad you took her in... while she is on antibiotics. it would be in her best interest to be giving her 1-2 tsp of pro biotic yogurt (activia) to counter act what the antibiotics are doing to her body.

great idea! Thank you!

See if she will drink Pedialyte or Gatorade.

Hope she is feeling better. It can take a day or two for their tummies to settle down after a bout of that. It's good that you took her in and they gave her fluids. Maybe try an ice cube.

Did they test her for HGE? Call back and ask about that just to make sure and have them explain as just curious as that is bloody diarhea too

Try feeding little things to stimulate her appetite - just the potatoes with a *bit* of butter, a couple salty crackers, cereal, peanut butter, bits of cheese. At this point, you really want to stimulate her to eat - get food in her tummy (anything), which will also settle her tummy, give her energy and re-stimulate her appetite.
