Should I be worried. So I woke up today and I found mucousy bloody diarrhea today on the floor. I have three Yorkies so I dont know which one it came from. Should I be super worried. Should I take them all in to the vet. What could this be, none of them seem to be out of place. THey were all playing this morning like nothing was wrong. |
The same thing happened with Missy! I took her to the vet right away. She had a bacterial infection :( The vet was most worried about her becoming dehydrated. Please take her to the Vet as soon as you can. They gave her an antibiotic and had to do the deworming regiment again, just in case. :( I hope it's nothing serious but take them in just in case. |
Okay I called the vet Im bringing them in, I will keep you updated. Thanks |
I hope it is nothing serious and they are okay!! I just went thru an on again off again bout of diarrhea with Zoey. Began about a week after her spay surgery. She had VERY loose stools one day and then the next day was fine. But then early early Christmas morning the diarrhea began again and lasted all morning. I called the ER Vet and they had me withhold her dinner and then in the morning switch to boiled chicken and white rice and only about half her normal quantity. We did this for two days during which she had no poop. We talked to our regular vet and gave her two more days (tho scary to do this). On the 4th day I decided to add a frozen dallop of organic pumpkin and she went in the morning. She is on a regular poop schedule again. Note, we did have to wean her back on her kibble. Our vet said she probably got a bacterial infection while she was there being spayed (since she does not go out right now with all the snow). I for one, am pleased to have been able to make her better without antibiotics but would do whatever the vet deemed appropriate. Good luck and I will look back for an update! |
The doctor's dont know what could be wrong, they think it might be parasites so they gave me antibiotics and sent me home after the vet counseled me on proper feeding regiments for my yorkies. I could have punched her in the face. I didn't feed them this morning because I didn't know which one was sick and I didn't want them throwing up in the car on the way to the bet. Apparently feeding regiments are more important that bloody diarrhea. Anyways, luckily I had a poop sample from this morning and I gave it to them to run there tests and they are going to call me tomorrow. |
Oh I forgot, Chewy was the one that was sick, I thought it was him because he was acting weird this morning. |
I am so sorry about the way the vet treated you!!!! :( :( :( When I took Missy she just told me a bland diet and lots of water. I gave her boiled chicken, chicken broth, cottage cheese, etc...For a week. The vet was concerned about her dehydrating because she's so tiny. This might be the case with Chewy. I'm glad your furbaby is going to be ok!!! And again, sorry about the vet. :( you did the best thing you could by taking them to the vet an the vet should have been WAY more helpful and understaning!!! |
I am sorry too! I was just mentioning this to my DH the other day, about the seemingly insensitivity/shortness I felt from the vet office as of late... maybe it is the stress of the season or they are extremely busy... maybe like a hospital setting. Who knows - but sorry for your situation. Most importantly tho, they have what they need to run tests and you know who is having the problem. Lets hope and pray it is nothing serious! Keeping Chewy in our thoughts and prayers! |

So I gave Chewy a bath well for one bc he needed one and mostly because when I am sick a hot bath makes me feel better...weird I know, and he did eat and drink a little (good sign) and I gave him his first dose of antibiotics. No vomitting or diarrhea since this morning. He is curled/cozied up on my lap in a blanket sleeping like a baby. I am going to keep my eye on him and I will let you ladies know how he is doing. Thanks for your concern by the way, its nice to know people really understand and care. Oh and Happy New Years! |
glad that Chewy is feeling better. Let's hope that the vet develops a little of a bedside manner. There is nothing worse than having someone you trust and look to who is not sympathetic. Hugs to you. |
how is our buddy chewy doing? It could be stress colitis too since dh is gone did he just leave recently and is chewy close to him ? |
My Yorkie ate chocolate Hello, Maybe you know what could happen to my yorkie, `cause you have 3 yorkies . Phoebe (5 months old) ate a mini chocolate like 30 min ago, she found it on the floor, it was a kisses (with almonds), this is the first time she ate a chocolate. I know dogs should never eat chocolate, so that`s why I`m a little worried. Does any harmfull could happen to her? Thanks for your responses :confused: |

Chocolate If your baby just ate a little chocolate, you should be okay. My little guy, piggy that he is, dug into my book-bag and ate one of those HUGE milk chocolate bars, like over a cup full of chocolate. I found him in the process and induced vomiting. I thought he vomited lots of chocolate, most of the chocolate, but it wasn't enough. The results were horrible. His little legs trembled, he was sleeping too deeply. After 24 hours he was almost unresponsive, he would look up if I flicked his eyelashes, and that was about it. He was squeaking as he breathed - very irregularly and shallowly. He ended up at the hospital for four days, IV, lots of different meds, his little gums looked like the blood would just come through the skin. It was about two weeks before he was back to normal. He still has spells where his breathing isn't normal. That said, remember he ate one of those very large bars, about 8 inches by 4 inches by 1/2 inch thick. Call your vet, or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435. Milk chocolate is one of the least toxic chocolates, but still poses a danger. |

Rico is a 5 year old yorkie. Not sure why he has seizures. They started when he turned 2 1/2. He has them about once every 6-8 months. The vet checked his liver and other enzymes and they were good. The vet is sure that it is epilepsy. Rico's mom had some food allergies (corn, dairy). Rico also has food allergies and if we keep him away from the trigger foods his seizures are even less frequent. Heartgard also causes seizures in him so we use interceptor and it works great with no problems. |
Update on chewy So the vet finally called me back chewy was positive for giardia :( he has been on antibiotic for four days now and hasn't pooped blood since yesterday. The vet said it's contagious. I have two others that seem to be fine, having normal bowels. Should I get them checked. Does anyone have experience. In almost four years my dogs have never been sick and now I'm dealing with this. How serious is it, what should I look for, is there a shot to prevet this. How do I sanitize the house and backyard. |
Awww - poor Chewy, I am sorry but at least you know what it is now. I have no experience but found this information. Giardia canis in Dogs It does appear to be contagious and there is even speculation that it can be transmitted to humans tho it has not been proven. Hopefully someone with actual experience or insight will be here soon to help you. Good luck and I hope that Chewy is better soon. |
Plans for tomorrow are to clean the house, take the other dogs to the vet to get tested and if they are good to quarantine Chewy until I know he is good. :eek: |
