The herbs I got were from Dr. Wen's practice at Hampton Veterinary Hospital. He develops the herbs himself, and he sells them to other veterinarians through his company Natural Solutions, Inc. White Crane Supplements. I know this is OT from the original thread, so I sent you a pm with the information about it.

Timmy seems to be doing great with his wet food and medicine.

He has no diarrhea thank the lord...quite opposite actually he poops only like once a day right now..he does however BURP loudly after each feeding, so it makes me think his throw up problems were related to gas b/c now that hes on wet food he has enough room to burp, but on the dry food he gulped down..he couldnt get that excess air out without throwing up...its just a guess but i think it may be the truth...im excited that he seems completely healthy now, i just want the medicine to be done soon so i can start training him. i did teach him to sit already, and i make him sit before i give him his meals, so that seems to be working very well with my cute little baby

hes so smart i cant wait to teach him the fun stuff!! I bought a clicker for training, so im gonna try that out. With my pom, Spice, i just trained her my own way..and she is great, but sometimes she just does all the tricks and doesnt LISTEN to what im asking of her..or she gets distracted. So im hoping to train timmy with more control so he can do his tricks for an extended pd of time..Spice knows down, turn/spin, roll over, shake/high five, speak, jump, and I Love you (which is when i say that she barks 3 times back at me as if saying i love you) Not so great with stay..which is where my training for timmy to have more control is hoping to come into play.

anyone feed their yorkie wet food? timmy has been on eukanuba wet canned food for about 4-5 days now and his poo looks like clay!! and it feels kinda like that too when i clean it up. Its even gray. The vet said that its prob the food, but its still weird. lol today his poo was almost the length of his body!!! it was SO WEIRD. I feel like all i get done lately is cleaning up poop, puke, and pee! He def is a baby thats for sure. he hasnt thrown up while eating the wet food, just burps...but he did throw up a tiny bit of wet food on the floor just now, and its 1:00 and he ate at 6:30 this morning! good news i guess is that it was literally just wet food, no foam or bubbles..and it was just a little bit. It happened after he was playin with a squeaky toy, so i dunno if he got choked or what. Weird to be happy about normal looking vomit huh? lol

on another note timmy rules at fetch already

i like getting him to get up and get excited about something..its adorable

seschna · 03-17-2010, 06:08 PM

well i gave timmy like MAYBE 10-15 pieces of hard food mixed in with his wet tonite..and he threw up

it was basically the same as before just a little less slimy, and all colored like the food instead of white. Other than that all was the same. I didnt hear him chewing any of the hard pieces..so im not sure if he just gulped them down or what. I still think it may be caused by excess air he cant get out...cuz no burping this feeding. I think i'll google what ingredient(s) in food cause gas in dogs and see if theres somethin i can do there..i dunno. He seems happy now, playing and what not..its so irritating that there are no symptoms and no reasons found for this problem. and obviously he doesnt have the problem with wet food...so to me that means it HAS to do with the actual pieces of food somehow..

ladyjane · 03-17-2010, 06:43 PM

Interesting. I would stick with the wet food then. You know...one thought may be that he is allergic to corn. That is often in dry food .. and not in canned. I have not seen that type of allergic reaction, but I think anything is possible? I don't know...kind of a stretch I guess.

i looked it up online and a few ingredients in his food, such as grains, and by product meal, are supposedly bad for gas, so maybe i can try to find one that doesnt have that..and the site said some dogs just inhale too much air while gulping and that can cause the gas....well we know he gulps, and cant solve it...he has a brake fast bowl already and still throws up. So i may just ask the person at the pet store what kind of food i should get..i was thinkin i'd look into science diet or this holistic natural food i saw there. I'll have to look at the ingredients, but it worth a try. His food does have corn meal in it. I feel so bad that his food keeps changing, i feel like hes never going to get adjusted!

but i want this problem solved for both our sakes. I REALLY dont wanna keep him on the wet b/c it is SO expensive. It cost me 9 dollars just to feed him for a week! I already have to pay 10 a month added to rent for getting a second dog, and have to provide him, and my pom with all the things they need and deserve...so im really trying to find an alternative to the wet food.
i dunno..

bc he's vomiting WATCHHHHHH him if he starts shaking make sure to give him syrup, only like a few drops and then make sure he eats. If he wont eat you most force feed him. take a can of soft dog food put it in a bowl, add water and syrup to bring his sugar level up. feed him at lest 6 table spoons every four hours till he starts eating on his own. or else he'll go in to hypo shock.

Syrup is the worst thing ....you can start a roller coaster, bringing them up from a possible hyperglycemic attack and then crashing again.....

The best thing is NutriDrops or NutriCal....Nutridrops absorbing faster into the system.

seschna · 03-18-2010, 07:36 AM

no problems Eating...he just LOVES to eat...its that he eats too fast and throws up on dry food..with wet he eats just as fast but just burps

seschna · 03-18-2010, 12:46 PM

timmy's poop is no longer clay like...but now its SO brown its almost Red and its really soft..still all in one piece when it comes out, but this worries me....he's been on the canned food for 6 days and clindamycin for 7 days...but why is his poop changing now??

seschna · 03-18-2010, 05:19 PM

Timmy is now throwing up like a baby randomly.

he is spitting up like a baby actually, ive seen it 3 times in the last 3 days. Once, just after chewing a toy..which was food, and i assumed that he got choked. Then in the car a tiny bit of white, which i assumed was car sickness (which he has never had so far), then today it was out of nowhere. he was layin down and just got up and spit up. theres no hurling/hacking of any kind that i can tell when he spits up(very little, not like when he throws up from eating). I really dont know if this is another symptom/clue to what his problem can be or what...

i feel like he really needs to get on a food that fixes these problems, if there is one..but i feel like im changin his food too much. The internet said grains and by products and what not can cause too much gas in dogs..which are both in his food, so i may try to get something that doesnt have that. Anyone feed science diet or a holistic food or something i can buy at Petsmart that they think will work for this??
Such as Royal Canin for mini yorkshire 28?? i just became aware of this on the petsmart webpage...i dont see grains or by products in ingredient list....anyone know about this food??
