Sick Little Boy - Advice
 

My baby boy (who is 6!) has been having some issues the last couple of days. He has had the runs and throwing up bile. I tried to get him in every vet in our area (even ours) and they couldn't see him. They told me I could leave him for the vet to look at, later at night around 11. But that's all they could do.

It's slowed down a LOT. But now if he eats, he throws part of it back up. It's totally food. He's drinking lots and the runs are def better today. More solid for sure.

I called my friend who is a vet, he told me to give him half an immodium. We needed to get it stopped from one end or the other. So I did, and I would say his stools are just loose now. Not watery. He also told me most of his clients with Yorkies have the same issues when they give them something to eat different. Even a little treat! After a few days he should be fine. He is drinking and eating. Just not holding all the food down. The only thing different was for 2 days at my mom's he ate a TON of their food. Which ALWAYS makes him have the runs.

My question is - even though he's fine and running around playing and acts ok, should I take off work tomorrow morning and take him? Or try the emergency vet tonight? Or just wait it out??? I teach and have PT Conferences tomorrow, so I won't be able to be gone with him all day. I worry about him so much. I always do! :rolleyes:

If this was my dog, I'd have gone to the ER vet. I'm surprised your vet friend didn't offer to take a look at the dog to check for dehydration after all that vomiting. I would not wait it out and I would take the dog to a vet tonight. Good luck.

I hope you found a vet to see your little one, and things are getting better. With that much vomiting and diarrhea, it would cause concern for me, especially in an animal as small as these little guys are.

I agree with the others....do hope you have gotten your pupster in to see a vet!

We are sitting at the vet as I type. I'm impatiently waiting on them to finish xrays. I hate this :-(

My vet friend doesn't live around here.

Sorry your baby isn\'t feeling well... Sending good vibes your way. Keep us posted.

I had to leave him for further testing. He thinks his colon is inflamed BC of getting into something. Poor baby! He has a really sensitive tummy. Hoping my sister will be able to get him at 5. I have parent teacher conferences tonight. Back to work I go. Keep Bentley in your thoughts and prayers. Me too, I cried when I had to leave him.

An xray is a good idea but I would be asking for bloodwork. Especially liver enzyme count.

Poor little thing. I\'m glad you found a vet that could get him in. Hopefully, they can get to the bottom of what is going on and get him some help.

Sending prayers and hugs

Saying prayers for you and Bentley.

Sending prayers for Bentley. I learned the hard way with Buster when I was visiting my parents everyone was sneaking him tidbits of food. One morning he was pretty sick with diarreaha and I found out later everyone had been giving him bacon even though I told them no people food. So I had to lay down the law and explain to them how sick their good intentions made him. I hope everything turns out ok! Best wishes.

Checking on Bentley...any news yet?
Keeping him in my prayers for good news!:hands:
