These little guys are my heart, Kaci's numbers were not that bad when I did her yearly in March and found out about this, but she stopped eating yesterday. She went to the vet today to see if her blood work has gotten worse or better. I will know in the morning. She did have a urinary infection, I hope that this is why she is not eating, but I lost my Golden Retriever in November of last year and this seems very similar to what she did. I cannot even believe that I might lose my Kaci, she is my shadow, my love, we are together constantly and I am not sure what I will do without her.
I have a question to this knowledgeable community, have any of you had a Yorkie that did quit eating and still get better? This is her second day of not eating, she is a good eater and has been all of her life. She was put on antibiotics this morning, she has been taking epakatin, but not the azodyl. I talked to the doctor today about putting her on it. CJ my older Yorkie is on both and seems to be doing good, her numbers were higher than Kaci's I guess maybe that is why they put her on it but not Kaci. Since I have been reading here though, I wish Kaci had been on it for the last three months. I look forward to being a part of this forum, please say a prayer for my Kaci, and I look forward to your comments.

Linda this thread is pretty old. You would get lots more answers if you start a new thread. I can't help because I have no experience with this but will say a prayer for your babies and you.

My girl had stopped eating and we couldn't figure out why... that's how she was first diagonosed. She lived about two years after that with never a great appetite again. I had to do lots of hand feeding or just sit there next to her while she ate. I think it's the nausea feeling and they just don't want to eat. In the end she just wouldn't eat anything at all, really just starving herself. I'm so sorry you are going through this. Please keep us updated.

Wanted to let everyone know that I recieved an email from phfgkl today and they lost Lexi today. It ended up being ecoli and there was nothing else the vet could do for her. Please keep them in your prayers.

Oh, that's too bad. Do they have any idea how she got ecoli?

My heart goes out to you. I feel your pain and hurt. We lost our ZheZhe (she was 7 years old) this past August 08,2008 with the same issue. She contacted with an Ecoli Bacteria that went to her kidneys. It was so hard to watch her for 4 1/2 months, but we did all we could. At least you didn't have to watch your baby suffer for very long. She will be better now, no more hurting, and will be with you in your heart and thoughts always. We will say a sweet prayer for Lexi.

Thanks for letting us know, I'm so sorry to hear this, I know she must be heartbroken. Sometimes we think science and medicine can do so much, and other times it just seems like they offer so little help. My prayers are with her.
