| Need advice... Prissy woke up from her nap and started dry heaving constantly..she finally produced a little clear liquid and there was a piece of grass in it...I took her outside to potty and she went poop once normal and then went a little farther and had some loose stool..she ate a little and is playing fine now...she ate a little grass earlier this morning (we dont use pesticides or anything) Help?? |

| I would keep a close eye on her, make sure her gums are moist and pink and that she is breathing normally. Any further signs of trouble, I would head to the ER vet. Did she have anything unusual to eat before the grass? Any chews or anything? I hope the episode is over and that she will be okay. Keep us posted.

| Mine have thrown up from eating grass before. But not the loose stool. I agree with Maximo, keep an eye on her and if you see any other problems go to the ER vet. Hope your furbaby is better soon.

| She could be nervous or maybe someone slipped her a tidbit that upset her or the food just picked this time to upset her. My dog grazes outside & eats things birds drop or cats carry into the yard and I have to watch him like a hawk since he recently had a bad G-I situation. Watch that baby and be sure she doesn't dehydrate from this. Dogs seem to eat grass when their tummy is upset & you then find it in their vomitus. Hope she is feeling better soon. If it keeps up, the vet may change her food for a while & put her on some nausea meds, etc.

| Good for you. That baby needs some nausea Rx and the vet to try to find out what's going on. Hope it is "just a bug", nothing seriously bad. Maybe some medicine will calm that tummy down and let her rest. We'll be praying you get a non-scary report and please post an update when you can. BTW, welcome to YorkieTalk.

| We got back a little bit ago..she was showing the beginnings of dehydration, but not enough to start fluids..the vet said she thinks she has a little upset tummy either from something she ate or all the new company that has arrived..she gave her a shot for the nausea and started her on an antibiotic and gave directions to give pedialyte..she wont drink it, so im having to use a syringe to get it down her...said to use the nutrical or karo syrup to keep her blood sugar up..I got home and tried both and she didnt want any part of it, but she will take pancake syrup..I put some nutrical in a syringe and gave it to her that way and will be repeating the nutrical and pedialyte through the night...she is playing well, so hopefully she will be better in the morning...on the plus side, she had gained from 1.5lbs to 2.2lbs since her well puppy checkup! Say a little prayer for her that she continues to do well..I feel just like a new mother with an infant!! |

| I am so glad you got her in! They dehydrate so fast. I had to force fluids in Mikki last time she got sick. You should see some improvement by tomorrow. Hoping and sending prayers for a fast recovery! And they are like babies! . I am the same way when mine is sick. It's called being a good Yorkie momma!

| Prissy is doing much better today..I have been able to give her moist science diet without the dry kibble mixed in it and I am still giving her the nutrical in between feedings...im giving her the pedialyte by syringe as well to make sure she is getting enough.. She is playing well and when she goes out she is coming right back in because it is so hot..She pooped this morning, but hasnt went since..im guessing she i just getting back regular...i have canned pumpkin I can give her if need be, but i didnt want to add anything else to her diet right now if I didnt have to.. |
