The anti-nausa put some pep back into his step!!! just said he was a little dehirated, we had a sudden heat wave, and between the potpuri and heat made him sick and dehirated. but is already improving. and thank you everyone for your consirns and advice. and no hard feeling what so ever about the harsh posts. I know how some people are they ruin somethings for everyone. they also said the nutri-cal helped as well... so just a little fyi in case one of yours gets sick... But thanks again everyone!!!

I'm so glad to hear that Nacho is okay, but potpourri? Sandpaper?

Next time Nacho may not be so lucky.

That was nice of you to be so understanding. There have been some very questionable posts lately and that is the only reason some were a little hesitant to trust you were real. Glad you are and glad your little one is going to be okay. It has to be incredibly difficult to have very small children and a yorkie. That is why many breeders do not sell to those with small children. You will have to work very hard to get your children to understand they cannot feed the puppies anything. Be blunt and tell them they can kill the puppy. They will not want that to happen and maybe will remember your warnings depending on their maturity/age.

I would suggest a play yard or exercise pen for your puppy. Keeping him in a confined area free from all of the children's play things and offerings might be safer. I don't even let mine have the run of the house unless I am right there with them. I don't have small children, but young Yorkies can make almost anything a danger. They can pull things down on themselves, chew wires, swallow anything from paper to nuts and bolts, jump up and then down from heights that are not safe -- so many dangers! I would just keep to the rule -- under your direct supervision, or in the pen, at least while very young.

Welcome to YT! Hope you will find it a great place to learn, share, and have fun!

Told you it was that potpourri!

I'm glad he is feeling better.

Yes, I agree with this, an x-pen where he's can't get into any trouble is so much easier. I think Joey tried to eat everything in sight (besides his food) the first 1 1/2 years. After that it was much easier, and I don't worry as much.

BobbyYorkie · 05-30-2009, 10:15 PM

So glad Nacho is feeling better. I understand babies that eat everything. Bobby is 2 years old and he still will eat anything off the ground or outside. I try to puppy proof my house as much as possible. We have gates and nothing is on the ground within reach. But accidents do happen. I bet your child won't be giving Nacho popouri anymore, lesson learned

and thankfully he will be ok. I remember when Bobby was a puppy he got so sick. he was vomiting and had the runs. a few trips to the vet and $800 later after xrays and numerous tests, turned out it was just an upset stomach. But it was well worth the cost of the vet...you never know.

Happy to hear you did get your baby to the vet and that he is now starting to feel better. Watch him like a hawk...be safe.

I agree, I am new to this and not computer savy as some. It takes me along time just to check to see if anyone responded to my posts! Eventually I will figure it out, I'm sure I will make many mistakes along the way as well. I also don't have a computer at home. My husband and I own a company where I have computer access when I'm there, so maybe certain situations apply to Nacho's Mom as well, preventing her from posting as quickly as others. My lttle Scooter had a similar problem last week, at first the vet thought it was Hook Worm Larve. The vet further investigated, turned out he ingested a fibrous material. The vet said it looked like the stuffing out of a toy. Scooter has been known to tear them open. I throw them away at first sign of damage, but I may of missed something. My husband & I thought he may have eaten a mushrrom from the backyard, it's been raining alot here lately. Anyway we're checking the yard now more carefully and keeping a better eye on his toys etc. He was sick from both ends for 5 days! We did take him to the vet on day 2 though, and through a shot and pills, he got better, and is back to himself now. No amount of money could deter me from skipping the vet, I would hate to lose one of my kids over a dollar issue. It's hard sometimes but we knew that when we got them. Good luck with Nacho!
