Tibbs is sick :( - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Valenie · 08-08-2011, 06:04 PM

So my 17 week old baby Tibbs is really starting to scare me the day before yesterday Saturday he started throwing up and having loose stools.....He did it most of the day Saturday I called the vet he told me to keep him hydrated that it was probably something he ate (I had just gave him a new treat he had never had before) Well Sunday he was perfect had formed bowl movements no throwing up and ate good. He was fine all day today until about 1 hour ago then back to vomiting 2 small piles the size of a half doller yellowish liquid and a big pile with a big part of his food from today. Also he is having the watery stool he has had 3. Any ideas of what could cause this. Could it be the stress of him being crated ( He has been crated almost 4 weeks for a broke leg) any advice would be really great! Also my other baby Bella has had no s/s of any of this. I called the vet's office and he has still no returned my call.

I'm not the one to advise but I wonder if it would hurt to put a little bit of sugar in his mouth to be sure he's not getting hypoglycemic after the vomiting and diarrhea episodes? And do you have an Emergency Vet scoped out for your area in case you don't hear back soon and might need to get him in ASAP? I don't want to scare you and it probably nothing bad but just be prepared - go ahead and line up an ER vet and call them, get directions, etc.

The closest ER is in Morristown TN it's like 1 1/2 hrs away. He still has not called me back....

Good advice. I would possibly call my vet again. If not, I think I would take him to the ER vet if the symptoms continue.

I'm sorry to hear that Tibbs is sick. I hope it's nothing but a tummy ache. Prayers for you and Tibbs.

Wondering how he is doing. Poor little guy one thing after another for him.

Valenie · 08-09-2011, 06:08 AM

Well the vet called back and Im one Peed off mommy!

Last week at the his vet appt they put this yellow gaws looking stuff around the bottom of his cast he had been chewing a bit the gaws was called "No chew" I spicifically ask the vet if it could make him sick if injested....he said no

. Now I have been paying this man for Tibberes and Bella and my moms dogs care for as long as we have had them. Well guess what on the phone last night the first question he ask was if he was still chewing on the cast

...I thought it odd but I was like "well a little I scold him every time I catch him ." He OMG Giggled

then he told me that this "no chew" crap would make him sick if he ate it......I may be overacting but this to me seems like animal cruelty....He told me to bring him in today and they would put more of this stuff on his cast

I told him no he would no put any more of that crap on Tibbs.

He said and I quote "Ahh he will be ok just keep him hydrated and he will be fine it don't really hurt him." OMG I was up all night cleaning puke and poop and Tibbs feeling like crap to me this is not fine, Im taking him to London today at 2 and see what they have to say. But I put a cone on Tibbs so he cant eat any more of that crap. He has no threw up or pooped since about 2ish.

yorkietalkjilly · 08-09-2011, 06:14 AM

Oh, so glad you are going to another vet. Keep a little sugar water in his system till then, is what I think I would do if it were Tibbe as there doesn't seem to be a surgery question. Are his gums pink and the pink color coming right back when you press? If not, I believe I would get to that vet now and make them see him now.

horsnaround · 08-09-2011, 06:17 AM

Oh man that is horrible for this little guy I am sure it itches. How much longer does the cast have to be on? I hope you find out good news at 2

Valenie · 08-09-2011, 06:31 AM

Ever since 2 he has not vomited or anything he is drinking well I gave him pedialyte last night. He is doing good this morning just a little agitated at the cone. Yeah I watched his gums all night they are pink and have good refill time of less than 2 seconds. He acts completely normal this morning playing in his crate and being himself.I am of course keeping a close eye on him and if he starts to show any s'/s of this I will take him in ASAP!

He is suppose to get it off this week if everything looks ok.

Poor little Tibbs! I hope that he continues to feel better and that he can get that cast off SOON!

Me too this 4 weeks has killed me.

yorkietalkjilly · 08-09-2011, 07:42 AM

Tibbe is pulling for Tibbs to feel better ASAP!

Valenie · 08-09-2011, 11:33 AM

So I went to the vet they did an x-ray to make sure he didn't have a blockage anywhere he was all clear and they tested him for worms which was negative. Said it was defiantly the no chew on his cast . They re warped him and said to keep my regularly scheduled appt tomorrow with the regular vet to see if the cast could come off. So Tibbs is A OK but I am worried that my usual vet is gonna be rude to me tomorrow... oh well I really don't care. But thanks for all the prayers and good messages!
