Binky Sick - needs help Please!

[LunasMomma]

Oh I feel for you and am so sorry that you and Binky are going through this So glad to read that he's now keeping some baby food down, that's good! Praying for continued improvement I hope your little one is all better very soon

Once this crisis is over, it might be a good idea to start saving just a little money, whatever you can spare, to an account just for your baby in case of an emergency. It's so horrible to know they need help and not to have the funds for it. At least you do have insurance and hopefully they'll reimburse you quickly so that you're not late on other things. I had an ER vet secretary do some magic once when my check wouldn't clear (they run it through electronically) and she forced it so that they could save Luna. We had money in the bank, but the bank had put a hold on our deposits like they always do Could have meant my baby's death!

Anyway, I hope to read another update soon that Binky is bouncing back. I think we ALL know what he means to you

Wow, I just reread my first post & that first sentence doesn't make sense! It doesn't because I was restating a sentence & didn't get all the words rearranged. Sorry for the confusing syntax.

Just checking in to see if the baby kept the food down to this point. If not, cut back on the next amount to way smaller. I literally had to break Jilly's Sensitive Stomach Kibble up with a hammer for easier digestion & just let her lick about a 1/2 teaspoon of the grains per couple or so of hours. Her tummy just could not digest more than that at one time, things were so out of kilter. If she got too much, vomiting; if not, no vomiting. With that Pedialyte & knowing she was getting some food, however small amount, I knew she wouldn't starve to death as her tummy parts healed. I'll check back later. Still pulling for Binky!

This is good. My Abi had HGE when she was 3, and had to spend overnight @ ER clinic with IV fluids and antibiotics. Things can go very badly, very quickly. IF he starts bloody mucousie stools, don't hesitate to report it.

Binky and I both crashed on the couch and we just woke up. While we were sleeping my sugar crashed too so I went to the restroom to get a shot. While I was in there Binky came in with his toy and wanted to play - lol everyone he wanted to play. I played with him very gently for just a little and he played back - this is good yes? He's walking around - slow but being noisy and checking out the cat outside. Yorkiemom1 I'll keep it slow, but I'll have to get back to you in a few, now I's sick - sugars low got to ear -thanks everyine

No to be argumentative and I don't know the whole situation with the OP but I can say this...my former vet IS open on Sundays. They stay open over the weekend and you can come in on Sundays for regular appointments or emergencies...they would rather have their clients come there where things and information are familiar than have to go to a strange place and wait for information from the regular vet.

Sending prayers for Binky. Hope he has continued improvements.

I hope he will be o.k.

Praying Binky continues to improve. I hope you are ok to. I am a little worried as your sugar went low and you are alone. The lady I got Nikki from got him from a rescue and then she lost her pension (one of those enron type places) and had a mild stroke and couldn't drive to her part time job so she couldn't afford to vet Nikki or eat much herself. I was able to help her get Nikki situated health wise until she had a severe stroke and I took Nikki. So sometimes one finds themselves in a terrible financial bind and I wish there were more funds available to seniors could afford to have a pet. It makes ones life so much better. I hope everything improves for you.

And, just in case it is RC Yorkie food...here is a list of the RC products that are recalled.

I hope he will be o.k.
