sick yorkie Hi, im just new to yorkie talk, i am looking for advice for my 5 month yorkie puppy. She has recently went off her food and has been suffering from sickness and upset stomachs. I had her at the vet yesterday where she received a vitamin b injection along with a 2 month course of vit b tablets. They have also prescribed an antibiotic which must be given with food?...As im finding difficult to get her to eat this i a problem trying to give her the antibiotic...any ideas??....Also is it safe to give my pup probiotic yogurt?....Any advice would be appreciated.:aimeeyork x |
Little plain Yogurt would be ok, and use a tiny pill pocket to get her to take the medicine. If she does not start eating soon, back to the vet. Make sure she is drinking water so she does not become dehydrated. Good luck, and I am sure others here with a lot more knowledge throw out some suggestions. |
Welcome. I am sorry your little one is not feeling well. I know you can give them yogurt but I would run it by your vet to be sure she can have it. The main thing is to make sure she is eating and drinking. I usually give mine pills in a little canned food or you can try a little cheese. I hope she feels better soon. |
I'm sorry your puppy isn't feeling well. Will she take the antibiotic hidden in a little piece of cheese or a small bit of chicken? Good luck. Hope she's feeling better soon. |
Welcome to YorkieTalk. :) Sorry your pup is sick. Shodan gave great advice. You could also try a little plain, boiled chicken breast, white rice, or plain oatmeal until she will eat her regular food. |
Mine would always pick out any pills. I had to learn to put them down their throats. Always fun!:D |

We always ask the Vet for a liquid for Maxine, and she takes the syringe real easy. My wife gives Max her medicine when she needs it, and I get to give Carlo his. Fortunately, he loves the Large Beef Pill Pockets. I even put his liquid Steroid in one pill woth his Pepcid AC. I tried the old fashioned way, but it got way to stressful and painful, for me. Not a lot of fun putting my hand in his moth or trying to open his jaw. Smart dog, does it just to Pizz me off! However, I am a bit smarter. |

Hi Shodanusmc...Dnt know if i am posting this on the correct page...still trying to get used to this forum. Anyway just a quick reply to thank u for ur advice...appreciated x |
Sick Yorkie Thanks guys for all your advice. Yes i have tried boiled chicken and putting the tablet in the middle of this, but millie is too smart...manages to eat the small peice of chicken and leave out the pill!....x |
Have you tried the pill pockets? They're made by Greenie. I've had the most luck with them. Mine could get the pill out of chicken or cheese but these wrap around them and they can't. My vet suggested the feline ones for mine because they are smaller. He said that it is the same formula - not like feeding your dog cat food. |
