| HELP..My 3lb baby is so sick!! Please help. I went on Vacation for 3 days and left him with a good friend. They have a dog as well. When we picked him up last night he was fine then this afternoon he starts shaking and throwing up and has diarrhea. He has now thrown up and diarrhea 2 times. Hes walking around very slow and not perky at all. His eyes tell me he is soo sick. What should I do? Im trying to give him lots of water so he does not get dehydrated. PLEASE HELP! |

That doesn't sound very good. I'd be worried about throwing up and diarrhea. Maybe he ate something toxic or has something stuck? I'd definitely call the vet and bring him in to be safe. 3 lbs is very small and he can go down quickly! | |

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Get him to Vet Water is not enough. Bring him in to the nearest emergency vet.

| Everyone is saying to take him to the vet, but you probably won't listen!!! What would you do if it was you that were sick like this, or your child? Give the vet a call. He is too little for this to go on for any length of time. I'm sutre there is an emergency vet in your area that you can call. They are open 24 hrs.

And when you do take him in get a full blood panel done, and arrange for BAT testing. As you well know shaking can not only be a sign of hypoglyecemina, but also liver shunt.

INSTEAD THIS IS WHAT YOU DID ... AND HERE ARE THE RESULTS: Quote:
weren't you supposed to take DJ with you on the plane? Instead you left him with a friend with a dog that might possibly have been sick. WHAT YOU SHOULD DO: Now you simply MUST get him to a vet immediately. All the symptoms you mentioned indicate low blood sugar, gastroenteritis, dehydration and can possibly be life threatening. He needs to be on IV fluids and a quik pak of water at the very least. Please tell us you did take him to the vet as soon as you saw what he was going through. His life may be at risk. We all wish you & your little one (DJ) the very best. Please keep us updated.

| I just have to put another word in ; if this yorkie was a human baby would you hesitate on bringing the child to the doctor. This dog can not speak for himself it is your responsibility to get the animal to a vet. I consider my yorkie as my child and there would be no question bringing her to the vet. |

Poppy's Mamma ♥ Donating Member | I dont understand... If my baby was throwing up with diarreah AND shaking there is no way on EARTH I would be sitting on an internet forum asking for help. WHY didnt you take him to the vets ASAP? Please tell me he has seen a vet?? And who did you leave him with when you were away? Praying this little one gets better.
