Chloe is so sick and the vet is closed! Please Help
 

We went to Phoenix and it's like 103F there. I had an appointment and needed to check out of our hotel, so we took the dogs with us. My daughter sat inside the truck in their underground parking garage. We had the air going it wasn't bad in the truck. We came home Friday(it's a 3hr drive). We stopped once we hit the cooler temperatures to let the babies potty and stretch their legs. They both seemed fine. We got home and I put Chloe and Milo to bed. The next morning Chloe got up and smelled awful! I checked her cage and she had puked and had diarrhea all over the cage. We cleaned her up and fed them as usual, thinking the trip got to her.

Last night we were watching a movie. She was nestled up next to DH. She jumped up and flew over to me. A few minutes later we discovered that she pooped where she was laying. She threw up all over me.

When she woke up this morning, same story for her cage again. I made some chicken bullion and watered it down, she drank some of it and then some water. She's walking around funny now. Her back is hunched like her belly hurts. She'll be a year old this month. I don't know what else to do. I'm afraid to feed her. Does anyone have any suggestions????

Since she's vomitting and dirreah....the only thing I would recommend for you to do is get her to an ER vet....doesn't your vet have an off hours vet that he forwards his clients tooo.....

I agree, get that baby to the ER vet!

We live 2.5hrs away from the closest hospital. This of all weekends my vet says he's is not taking emergency calls. He normally is always in town and meets me there. The other 2 vets I have left messages for. They state that if you are not a patient there to call this number in Phoenix. Which is 3hrs away. I'm worried she wont make it that long. I have my groomer calling around too. Please say prayers for Chloe! I couldn't stand to lose her

i believe if I were you, I would drive the three hours. it might save her life.

I will keep Chloe in my prayers! Hope you can get her to a vet soon! Try giving her ice chips it may help with dehydration! Keep us posted!

I would start driving. It's a long way but it may be the best thing to do for her.

I hope she starts feeling better soon. I can understand your reluctance to put her back in the car in the heat for a long drive while she is so sick. I hope you can find a vet to see her closer. If not maybe your vet will call in something to the pharmacy to settle her stomach down until you can get her seen.

Took the words out of my mouth.....When a yorkie is got it coming out of both ends......the possibility of her going down on you and her not pulling through are great.....they go down so fast......Do the 3 hours drive......

What worries me is that she may have something contagious (the new dog flu that is going around ) and pass it on to your other dogs.....then what.....even at that I'd keep her isolated from the others....

My groomer called another vet in a town 1hr away. On my way out the door! I'll update everyone on what they say. Keep the prayers coming!

Praying for your baby!

Praying for Chloe and safe traveling

:hands::hands: Praying this new Vet has the answers that Chloe needs. We love you little Chloe.

Okay...back home with Chloe. After numerous tests and x-rays, it turned out to be gastritis. We are making her some good old boiled chicken and rice. She can have a teaspoon every 2hrs. They put her on antibiotics and something to help with the vomiting. Thank you for all your advice and prayers. Chloe has already perked up. The doctor thinks that was the pepto bismal that I gave her under the advice of the breeder.:p

I am so happy to see this! Thanks for the update, and give Chloe a big kiss for us!
