Suzi is not feeling good :(
 

My 18 month old Suzi has had a runny stools and tried to vomit several times throughout the night , however it was just dry heaving, nothing came out. She has been laying around most of the day resting, however, moves to place to place , making herself comfortable on the couch to the bed, or bext to me by the computor :( . Thankfully, she has not had any more diarreah, or vomiting. I tried to get her to drink water, but she refused, however, she ate a pepornoni stick Lean, and little bits of flour tortilla ,and tiny pieces of cheese, she was fine, no throwing up . She still wants to rest. At one time she perked up and played with the puppy. however, layed right back down .
The puppy vomited once yesterday for the very first time ever > She is just 3 1/2 months & was also laying around all day too. Today the puppy is okay, now Suzi is not. But the puppy did not have the runny stools .
I have know idea what this is? OR if it is any related to each other! Both my babies are going through something :eek: They don't go outside . it is too hot, and the pup is too young .
They , do however, try and scratch or find stuff underneath the stove > However, I have never seen them be sucessful !

=(
 

aw I am sorry that they are not felling well..I will be sending good thoughts over your way!! In hopes they get better!!

Poor kiddos :(! Are they feeling any better? It sounds like it could be a little tummy bug, or that maybe they both got into a little something. Maybe try a bit of pumpkin and maybe feed just mashed potatoes or rice for the next 24 hrs and see if it resolves? I sure hope they feel better soon, I'm sending some good thoughts your way :).

Hope Suzi is feeling better soon.

Hope your two babies feel better soon! :)

Here's an update on Suzi . My brother came over this afternoon who she absolutely loves, and she perked up seeing him. SHe was jumping up to say hi to him, and he had hurt his foot badly. She tried to help him feel better, sensing that he was in pain , knowing somehow that he was not feeling well either.
But after he left, she was again sleeping , and needed to rest. All of her energy left her, and later she had a bit more , tiny bits of dirreahea. She did , however, drink water. Thankfully. I cleaned up the runny stools and was not upset at al when she missed the dog pads. Other then this, she seems to be slightly better.
I hope the worst is over, and i do think it is a tummy upset. Their is no blood in the stools, and no more heaving or vomiting, however, she is not eating her kibble. But she will eat anything I have , But i do not want her to eat that, for fear it will only make her feel worse or upset her stomach. The puppy is ok. Just does not understand why Suzi won't play with her. I have white rice, but i'll have to make certain it is still good and not spoiled. I have had it for a while in the pantry. I know to give it to her plain. And cool. I can pretend to eat it, Suzi loves to eat anything I eat. Suzi is a good sized yorkie , however I still worry about my baby every time she is not feeling well. I just hate it when any of my darlings are not feeling good. There is no mucas in the stool or anything like that either. I hope she will be ok, and she is getting over it.

Suzi is still unwell:( She did , however, have a semi large , normal sized stool last night, however, then more smaller runny stools! Today she is laying around again. I have made her white rice . It is too hot for her to eat , and waiting for it to cool . Could I mix some canned food in it for her? a little bit ? See if she eats ? I am very concerned that she has not eaten . I gave her bread yesterday , and she eagerly ate that. I think that is why she had a normal poo . I just am getting more worried about Suzi . She has not thrown up at all anymore. But not perky. She wants to sleep. It looks like she is drained , and it is obvios she is not feeling good. But she is alert to where I am, and when the puppy makes any sounds.
My brother is coming over later, and I'll se if she is happy to see him again. That will be the test. Because he is her best buddy. :)

I think I would take her in since she has not felt well for a couple of days now. She may need medicine to settle her tummy and fluids. Hope she feels better soon.

She's not dehydrated , And the runny stools have been light , for the most part. Can somebody Tell me what type of Pumpkin to buy ? I can't remember? i'd like to try this . Suzi is bhaving fine, I gave her canned chicken, instead of the other , canned. I noticed the other one had vegies in it, which did not help her , what an idiot i was to give this to her along with mixing the rice? SHe ate the mixed rice up along with the chicken , which was small , it had more rice . I know she needed that , and the moisture. SHe is behaving normally , now, barking at people she hears outside, and not acting lethargic. I can lift her fur up and it goes down normally , indicating that she has not lost fluids.
Suzi has been very sick in the past with both , and taken to the vet, she did not need iv fluids then , and was even more ill then. I was in a care accident on the way to the vet , staying up all night with her, and ran off the road.
SHe is not so bad off this time, and I am praying home treatment methods will help her overcome the diarreaha. :(

I use canned Libby's pumpkin. It doesn't have any additives.

How much do I give her? ANd it is NOT the filling type right?

please do not give yorkies pupperonis - too high in fat and can lead to pancreatitis :(

Ok, I have stayed on the lean ones , and half of one 90% FAT FREE. Use them for treats only, however if their as bad as this no more .
I have given Suzi the canned Pumpkin , Libby's flavor. SHe would not touch it, plain or with rice mixed in. So I added a small amount of her canned chicken too, then she ate, at first a little hesitant, then with the puppy and son out of the room , Suzi ate. Here's hoping that her tummy can and will settle down.

Hopefully that will do the trick.

I hope your baby feels better

Thank you ! Suzi is walking around with her little stubby tail down :( Probably because my teenaged son is having a fit, he's developmental disabled , and that has Suzi upset > So all in a Saturday at our home! :rolleyes:
I hope to god this works for Suzi! Now if their were only magic answers for teenagers!! ;)

canned chicken is too high in sodium so if doing canned make sure to strain and rinse real well -- best to get organic chicken from costco and cook ---chicken can upset tummy if they have a food intolerance to it though

How are the babies today? I so hope they're feeling better. :)

the canned chicken is her dog food, that is rated as a 6 . Today, Suzi is active , playing with the puppy more . SHe seems to be feeling better. However , last night she had a few more runny stools . What a mess .
Today, I am NOT going to give her any special to eat. No canned food , or rice, any of that . I am going to leave out her kibble, and fresh water. See how it goes .
I think I am trying too hard to make her well. AND possibly aggravating her symtoms?

I think it has been too long and I would hope last night was the end of her loose stools. If it happens again, she really should see the vet. Different foods could be aggravating her system, but I wouldn't think that about rice. Pumpkin actually makes Ellie stool softer, so I think there are better ways...

What does the vet usually do for her when this happens?
How about an rx food for a few days and maybe something along the lines of Metronidazole or Tylosin?

i would go with tylosin vs metronidazole as tylan powder is a lower dose and metronidazole has to be compounded for toy breeds but tylan is real bitter tasting so you will have to make capsules. Try this as this finally worked for my dog i soaked the kibble so it was easier to digest as she was having the same issues with the chicken and sometimes too much pumpkin can give them diarhea as well so go back to basics - kibble soaked down a little

Thank you ,
Cathy

I just seen this, hope your little one feel good soon:animal-pa

We have used both here and I actually don't mind Metro. Not that I would run to it with one loose stool, but I think after awhile it's time to bring it out. Tylan is fine if it works for the particular dog. Metro is available in liquid form in Ellie's dose (6 pounds) and we weren't sent to a compounding pharmacy. Actually, we had to do that with the Tylan until an awesome YT'er recommended that I get the powder online and just estimate the dose.



How is she doing today?

Suzi's stools are firming up :) I could never be so happier! They are not all the way back to normal, however, so much better then what then solid liquid. some of it was back to solid , mixed with a little of both > however, yesterday evning Suzi was very energetic, and happy again ! Chasin the puppy and playing again.
I am sooo exhausted from cleaning up these messess, and then the puppy paws , Oh well, I am relieved the worst is over. My babies are after all my babies, i'd do it for my skin kids, I see no difference :nursing:
