Little Dog threw up 3 times today... - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Ready4Anything · 07-18-2009, 08:44 PM

I am a little concerned. My Little Dog has thrown up 3 times today. It has been bright yellow and a little foamy. She has had a soft stool and normal pee patterns. She's not wanting to eat now but at noon she took a bite of my PB&J and loved it. She has felt very warm to the touch all day. Almost like a kid with a fever. But she does sleep on a fleece blanket, so I may be paranoid...

She normally does a happy dance when I get home and tonight she didn't. She just walked to the couch and layed down.

I haven't changed her food or given her anything out of the ordinary lately. I wonder if she could have conned one of my boys out of a chocolate debbie cake. Would chocolate poisoning look like this?

If you are concerned about her temperature you can take it at home, very easy , you need to take it anal.

If she is trowing up not a good idea to offer food right away... specially PBJ ...

Is she drinking at all? You can give her water and pedialite just to keep her hydrated.

Pepcide Ac is very safe to give and stops vomiting, one pill of 10 mg , but if it is something serious will not work, but definitely worthy trying once and see if she feels better.

You can PM if you need i can give you my home number .

Good luck !

PB&J was an accident. She seems to just want to sleep right now. I may call you in the morning if she isn't feeling better then! Thank you so much!

My Buddy used to do this quite often. I always called it puppy tummy, cause I could never figure it out.

Dogs and Chocolate Toxicity

PennysMum · 07-18-2009, 09:45 PM

How big is your dog? If she is super-small, you may need to worry about hypoglycemia if she is unable to keep her food down. Rather than withholding food and risking that, you may want to offer her a bland mixture and see if it interests her. You can mix cooked ground chicken (blot off any excess fat) and plain white rice in a 1:2 ratio. Offer her tiny bits of the mixture throughout the day-- a little meatball-sized portion often works well-- and give her time in between servings.

If you lift up the side of her mouth and touch her gums, they should be pink and moist. If they feel tacky to the touch, she may be becoming dehydrated. Pedialyte is a great suggestion for preventing that.

If she is very small and begins showing signs of low blood sugar or dehydration, please don't wait to take her to a vet. Unfortunately smaller dogs can go downhill pretty quickly when they get sick.

Thank you all for help! She had a very runny stool over night. She also had another bout of vomiting. I think we are vet bound. Ours is out until tomorrow. I think chicken and rice and water and a lot of cuddle time is in the works for today.!

Sorry she is still not feeling well. Watch her close for signs of dehydration and hypoglycemia. If she is eating and drinking she should be ok until you can get her to the vet.

if vomitting withhold food and offer water all the time if vomitting has stopped that is- they can go without food for 5-7 days but water is critical

You need to take her temperature. Here's a great how to:

How to Take Your Dog?s Temperature

Toy breed dogs can dehydrate quickly, often in as little as 24 hours. Dehydration throws their electrolytes off and is very serious as they can go into cardiac arrest. Syringe feed her Pedialite to keep her hydrated.

If she continues to vomit, I'd try to find an ER vet today. I know it's a hassle and they are expensive, but waiting another day could mean hospitalization on an IV.

Ready4Anything · 07-19-2009, 10:23 AM

She'll drink when I offer water. I have rice cooking and see is wanting it bad! Rice is her favorite treat. She seems to have quit vomiting. Her body isn't as warm as it was yesterday. I think she'll getting better.

My vet wants to see her tomorrow AM. She is about 15 years old so I'd rather not take her to a stranger.

That sounds encouraging. My Lady is almost 14 so I know how special these old gals are.

Okay so now there has been a change...

She gets the urge to go out...Her stool is about pea sized now and very soft if anything at all. She came in and left a spot of blood on my shirt. Upon inspection, her vulva is bloody.

So now I wonder if she's in heat. This is really stressful. She doesn't look sick but she looks lethargic. She's alert but has no appetite. My husband says she did this about 18 months ago with her heat cycle. Is he right? I hope so!

Ready4Anything · 07-19-2009, 07:18 PM

There has been turn for the worse...We are going to the ER for Dogs right now. Wish me luck!

Oh, dear. I will pray for your sweet old girl. Please update us when you can.

Ready4Anything · 07-19-2009, 10:19 PM

Took her to the ER. The Dr. said her uterus ruptured and infected her blood stream. There was nothing we could have done differently to save her.
She passed on about 12:05AM CDT on June 20, 2009.

I've lost my best friend! She will be missed!
