HELP for new sick fragile puppy
 

Hello I'm new in this because i need some help. I get as gift before two day a male baby toy Yorkie.
He is about two months year old (20-10-2010) and only 520 gr.
He had vomiting and diarrhea so i take him to the veterinary and told me that he has hastrendedical problems and he is dehydrated. So he gave him Dextrose (i have to give him every 3 hours,that will be the only liquids he will drink) and Primperan for the vomiting.
Now his eyes are stick closed. (thing he get a cold).
Please..i'm so sad and afraid for him..(i try all the time not to cry). You think he will be ok? Does anybody had the same problem?
I already have a 3 years old male Yorkie, but he wasn't that sensible as a baby (maybe because hee was 800 gr. at 2 months year old and now he is 5,5 kg.)

You need to take him back to the vet. It sounds as though he has more problems. Use a warm, wet washcloth to clean around his eyes. Take him to the vet as soon as possible. Let us know what you find out.

:thumbup: good advice

I am so sorry that your little one is sick keep him nice & warm and see his vet asap

Little tinies can dehydrate easily and hypoglycemia can also be an issue. Time can be of the essence; so please get him back to the Vet asap.

Fragile sick puppy
 

Thank you very much for the quick reply..
I'm waiting for the vet to contact me what time i can go now in the afternoon (because of the festivities they are all close until Monday). I'm cleaning it with warm water..(he will give me a cream i think,to put on his eyes 3 times per day) .
Yesterday i gave him a little boiled chicken and he was so happy, immediately he was very better and almost playing a little,but after 4 hours he had vomiting the chicken.
Puppy is sleeping almost all the time...and i keep the house warm for him.

If he is still vomiting; I really hope the Vet can get you in before Monday. I don't want to scare you but, if he is that tiny, a lot of very bad things could happen by then ~ especially if he still cannot keep anything down.

Is there an emergency vet that can see him?

He is a very small pup for his age. He needs to eat regularly or he will go downhill fast. Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) is a real concern. Nutri-Cal is a good product to help prevent this. If that's not available to you, karo syrup or even pancake syrup will work. Your vet had already given you dextrose and that is for keeping the blood sugar up. Talk to him about using one of the things I just mentioned. A little dab a few times a day will help him.

I have no idea what hastrendedical means. I tried looking it up and got nothing. Is the baby on any sort of antibiotic? There are some that can be given to a pup. Has the pup been given a fecal test to check for parasites?

If the pup is having trouble holding down the chicken, you may try feeding him less, but more often. In his condition, he should be eating a little something every few hours. You could try shredding the chicken or putting it in a blender. This may help him to digest it better. If you saved the broth from cooking it, use a little of that with it.

Hopefully you can see the vet today. If he's still dehydrated, the vet can give him sub-q fluids (injection under the skin) to help with that and can give you the supplies you need to do it at home. He can also show you how to do it.

Not sure what exact problem your baby has, but nutrition and hydration must be provided to him. He is much too small to have a setback.

Best of luck with your little one.

Please take him back to the vet. As far as the eyes closed, it is from being sick. You need to take warm water on a soft cloth and wipe them off to get all the gook off of them and they will open. They are stuck closed from the yuk. What antibiotic is he on? I went through this twice. My little girl that I have now we picked up Tuesday she's 16 weeks old and has upper repiratory infection and ear infections. She a pound and a half and is on .2 miligrams of Clavamox twice daily, and otimax in each ear twice daily. And, thankfully is doing great now. She too has her eyes stuck together in the morning, but the antibiotics will clear that up as well. Try to get your little one to eat some boiled chicken, with the broth. He is very very young. Should not have left mom yet. You can lose him if you are not careful. PLEASE I'll say it again, PLEASE take him back to the vet. Keep him warm, carefully, clean his eyes as needed to keep the yuk out and his eyes open with warm water on a soft clean cloth, try to feed him some chicken with broth. I'm sorry and I hope he is ok. P.S. also try to get a stool sample. The Diaareah can be coccidia or a another parasite. The vomiting, too is not good. keep nutrical on hand and check his gums to make sure they are not white or sticky.

Great Advice. :thumbup:

Hi again everybody.. Fortunately my husband know the vet and he opened just for us, he make him injection under the skin for the sugar in the blood (i think) and also he make him a antibiotic injection.(like yesterday).
The vet gave me for his eyes, drops Tobradex (3 times per day) and water drops (like normal tear drops). And to try like you said small quantity of chicken. Also i will give him tonight little Primperan to try to calm his stomach.
Tomorrow Sunday he will open the vet again to check him...
Thank you all again for the support you give me..

I am glad you were able to get the vet to see him. I hope he feels better soon, Thanks for the update.

I'm so glad you could get in. You could also try to give him some chicken broth, without salt, in a dropper or syringe, if he's not drinking. I had to do that with one of mine when she was pretty sick. It wasn't long before it had helped settle her stomach and she was back to eating. Just a suggestion. Let us know how he does. OK?

Good morning everybody,
yesterday before to go to bed my little baby wake up and run on the carpet moving his tail :thumbup: !! So I gave him one tea spoon chicken (smaller quantity) and he loves it... fortunately until today he didn't vomit it !( I will continue that way : small quantity more often). I also give him yesterday night Primperan (syrup for vomiting) and about 8 in the morning he vomit little brown color again (but not the chicken) so give him again little Primperan and i always continue 2,5-3 ml Dextrose each 2 hours. Both drops (normal tear drops & Tobradex drops) that vet gave me help him..he open his eyes more often now. Vet said me, to be careful of the light because the problem with his eyes can result that he is afraid of the light. Today Sunday the vet will open again for my little baby to check him.

Thank you very much for the advise about the chicken..it worked !!
Sorry for troubling you all (with gastrendedical) i think the right word in English is : gastrointestinal problems (problem with his stomach).
My baby came traveling by plane from Hungary to Greece (i think they didn't put him in a very warm bed..!! and get cold)
Today i will tell the vet about the medicine you all told me.
Thanks again very much to all of you !!

So good to hear your baby is feeling some better
