Please HELP my yorkie
 

On Wednesday the 18 I took my yorkie to the vet. to get his eyes checked out because my sibling just got a new puppy and scratched my yorkie's eye. so they prescribed him some trioptic-p to heal it around 3:00. Later, I around 5:00 i washed my car with chemicals and tide him up by the tree where my friend put ant poison (i had no idea till i told her my yorkie was sick.) at 7:00 i bought my yorkie some bacon stripes that i never got before. thirty minutes later he puked it all up. 10 minutes go by and he is still vomiting again and again and again. he wasn't eating or drinking by himself. i took him to the vet the next day and they gave him some anti-biotics however he kept on vomiting so they stopped anti-biotics. the vet has no idea what it may be but thinks it a liver disease and he isn't getting better at all. his pee is is dark yellow and brown and he still doesn't eat or drink. doesn't like to walk and isn't himself. so i decided to go to st. paul (university of minnesota) where my vet suggested. we took him and they don't know they gave him an ultra sound and even they do plain to do surgery he would bleed to DEATH. his blood work is high or low. he has fluid in his abdomen. he is yellow. they gave him a feeding tube and were waiting for a test result Fri. for leptospirosis. he is back on anti-biotics. he is 1 and 6 months and my first yorkie. please any advice would help. thank you

I am keeping your baby in my thoughts. I hope he is ok!

I am confused, sorry, I am not sure what you hope to find here. I am really sorry you and your dog are going through this though!

Are you thinking that the ant killer is what made your dog sick? Do the doctors know about this?

What expectations do you have with us here? Are you hoping someone knows something the doctors don't know?

I am seriously asking these questions and not being a smarty person. I just want to try to be helpful and don't know how. Oh I feel so bad for you! I would be losing my mind. :(

Do you think he got into the ant poison?

First off let me welcome you and your little guy to Yorkie Talk.
You really will find a lot of caring, supportive and knowledgeable people here.
We may not have the answers but maybe some may have suggestions, or maybe they have had some similar experiences. The very least most of the people here will do is offer up prayers. I hope you keep coming back here.
It really is a great site with a lot of very special people.
That being said, I really don't have an answer for you as I have not had experience with something like that. I can however keep you and your little guy in my prayers.
Please keep us posted.

I hope he gets better. Are they treating him for the ant poision? That could really make him sick. Please keep us posted.

Do you suspect he ate the ant poison? Did you tell the vet about
that poison?
Sending prayer's for your boy. I hope he will get better.

Better Day
 

Yes i did tell the vets he might have gotten in some ant killer poision but they do not think its that or sugar free gum, because in how bad shape he is in. however last night i bought some Milk Thistle and gave him some today too. He is still at the vet but when i went to see him he ate!!! he barked, he bites, he tries even taking off his cone ( to keep him away the feeding tube). he started growling at the vets and he made me so happy!!! thank you all for your support and prayers. it means so much to me. However he is still at the vet and they still have no idea what it may be. :)

Thanks for the update. I hope he can come home soon and be all better.

Hi there, welcome to YT. I am sorry your yorkie is so ill. My first thought was that your baby was poisoned too . Even being around the chemicals is strong enough for a small yorkie to enhale some of it , and have it effect him internally. But, I am not a doctor. i hope he is going to be ok, and make a full recovery. I am glad he is feeling better today. Since it happened so fast, I do feel that it had something to do with the chemicals being used so close to him when he was outside. Those are highly toxic , and even medical professionals do not always know 100% what the effects it can have on a animal .

Oh boy, yes there is an ingrediant in sugar free gum that can kill
small dog's. Can't spell it. iLooks like you caught it in time. Glad to hear he's growling at the vet's.:p That's a great sign he's feeling better.

Thank you for the update. I'll continue to keep him in my prayer's.


Hugs,

am just now reading this and will pray for a speedy recovery for your little angel . . those signs of eating and barker are great . . .that means he is not suffering much anymore :)
