Welcome to YT!

Sounds to me like she may have eaten it...and is now throwing it up. Has she been eating and drinking ok? I would be more concerned about the white gums...I don't know what this could be..I wish I could help you. Hopefully somebody here will be able to help you...I hope everything turns out alright for her. keep us posted

Time to find the closest emergency vet. I do not think this situation should wait til morning. Try calling your vet at home if you have to. White gums are a very bad sign. Throwing up feces (unless they were just eaten and come back up) is also a dangerous situation which can be the result of a bowel obstruction. So, if you know your pup to be a feces eater, I would not be nearly as worried. But if not, and the feces-like throw up is coming from the GI tract because of some obstruction, emergency care is needed.

I forgot to address the white gums -- they can be a sign of shock, loss of blood, anemia, dehydration, severe illness, among other things. That is usually the first thing the vet tells you to check when you think you have an emergency and that alone is enough to bring in a Yorkie as they are so small they can take a bad turn quickly.

Here is a Pet 911 emergency vet locator: Pets 911 - Find local animal hospitals and emergency animal clinics Maybe that will help you find someone.

I just noticed she signed off -- hope she found somewhere to take her Yorkie!

I agree. I would be looking for an emergancy clinic. These little ones can dyhatrate so fast. One of ours was on IV's last week. She had been drinking alot and I had no idea she was that sick except she was not eating. Thank goodness we took her in when we did. Hope your little one is okay. Things can go down real fast.

maxmom · 07-21-2009, 06:37 PM

no reply from the op, i hope her baby is ok.

lillymae · 07-21-2009, 07:08 PM

Fecal Vomiting is caused from an obstruction in the lower intestines. This dog needs to see the vet ASAP!

AbbysMom08 · 07-21-2009, 09:09 PM

I agree. It sounds as if it may be a bowel obstruction.
Hope the little one is ok.

Maxi · 07-22-2009, 10:31 AM

I wish the OP would update. I hope the little one is ok.

Pancreatitis can also cause this, as can giardia in the upper GI tract.....

sugarmamma · 07-22-2009, 10:36 AM

What was the outcome, OP?

ARCHIE · 07-22-2009, 10:42 AM

Hoping her boy is ok and she got to the vet.

miabellaamoure · 07-22-2009, 03:00 PM

I was thinking the same thing...intestinal blockage. This is a similar symptom even in humans with a blockage...I can hardly stand to imagine it (ack!)

Did the OP say if her Yorkie was a puppy? They are notorious for ingesting the contents of stuffed toys after gutting them.

Hope we hear from the OP soon with an update on her

-baby!

LilMissy · 07-23-2009, 10:25 PM

Wish the OP would come back with an update. I can't help but to worry
