Jake is Really sick... - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I am very worried for Jake! I honestly cannot believe they sent him home with you when he is so ill. He hasn't eaten for days (?) and is vomitting up bile. Why didn't they keep him overnight? Poor baby. I truly hope is gets well soon.

I am sorry you're Jake is ill,,, I have a little one named Victoria I joined this group to try and figure out how to ask questions DESPERATE need of advice but I can't figure out to POST the question ... Only know how to respond.

I just saw your thread, I hope all is well. I know how worried you must be, having a sick baby and losing one two years ago this month must be so heavy on your mind. Stay positive. You did the right thing getting Jake in at the first signs. And the negative results are such a blessing. You are in my thoughts. Will look for updates.

Learning everything on here can be a challenge can't it?? For a new post, go to the forum you want and in the upper left there will be the words "new thread". Post your question there and you'll be on your way.

I split one tube between both my boys and my Dexter becomes lethargic and very very needy and vomits multiple times when I give him frontline.

Oooh poor Jakey!

I am soooo sad! I pray he heals quickly and fully. (((HUGS)))

if this is happening please use Touch of Mink Exclusive Skin Care Products minksheen it is much safer than chemicals as all natural and many have great results with it.

for some reason reading frontline plus is safer and dermatologist only does frontline plus and derms have more education than dvm in this stuff. Personally not a big fan of putting chemicals on them but i know in some areas you do not have a lot of choice but you can at least try minksheen first before going to chemicals

He has to go back tomorrow though all day again to be hooked up to the IV so they have left the catheter in his arm. He really hasn't eaten anything since possibly Friday night or Saturday morning. The vet does not want us to give him anything either, due to the vomiting. Jake of course probrably wouldn't eat or drink anything anyway but how long can they go without food? The Vet did load him up with fluids for the night, a bolus? I don't know, I'm still so concerned...

they can go without food for 5-7 days and if vomitting let tummy rest and slowly introduce food boiled chick and rice as it is bland. water is the most important thing they have to drink more critical than food
