advice and prayers please I really need eveyone's prayers right now. I woke up this morning and my little Ranger had thrown up a couple of times i didn't freak out at first but then i realized he just didn't seem right so i took him to the vet hospital. They ran tests and told me his sugar was really low and that he was dehydrated and knocking on deaths door. He is 4 months old and my life i don't know what i will do if he doesn't pull through. Has anyone had the same type of situation happen to them any advice would be helpful. Jordan Ranger's mommy |
I don't have any advice, but I hope you and little Ranger make it though your tough time. Is he still @ the hospital? |
Little Ranger will be in my prayers. Please keep us posted. Joy, Nikki and Chloe Rose |

Has anyone had the same type of situation happen to them any advice would be helpful. :mad: 4 of my babies have had 5 episodes of this type of thing over the past 2 months. Vets calling it Hemoraggic Gastric Enteritis, added to what you have said they had bloody diareaha. They were kept at the doggy hospital and fed glucose, IV antibiotics and hydration for 24-48 hours. They are all fine now. It is the emergency needs that are so dangerous. Has your vet suggested the baby stay there for emergency treatment and hydration ? Sheesh, I never even heard of this before and now it is all I am hearing/seeing. It is horrifying. Soooo scary. Prayers out to you and your little sick baby. |
Saying a little prayer for your baby - I hope he's ok and they get him stabilized....Good luck ! |
Ya have my prayers also keep us posted |
Little Ranger is in my prayers . |
I am so sorry this happened. Good thing you were on top of it and took him to the vet. I hope he recovers quickly. Praying for you and him :aimeeyork |
I wanted to let everyone know that Ranger is home and back to being healthy. It was quite a scare and i learned that Karo syrup can help at the onset of these attacks to prevent the sugar levels from getting so low when they are throwing up. Than you to everyone for all the prayers and advice, you are all wonderful. Love Jordan and Little Ranger |
was it a hypoglycemia attack? :confused: |

Glad he is ok, that has to be so scary. |
I am glad he is doing okay now. |
I am so glad that Ranger is home is doing well. Just wondering was it Hypoglycemia. |
Glad to hear the good news!!! |
Glad all is ok now..... |
I am so glad to hear about your baby....these things can be very scary!!! |
The sooner you catch it the better out come... :D Nutri-cal is another solution for this and nurti-drop for the more serious cases... Glad to hear he is on the road to recovery...Yah, Ranger!!!! |
yes it was on top of being really dehydrated from throwing up so they yold me to always have Karo syrup and put it on his gums if i see signs, i was told small breed dogs have these attacks frequently and with Ranger only weighing 1lb 7 oz at 4 months they told me i have to be very careful Jordan |
Im so glad hes feeling better. |
It does sound like a hypoglycemic attack....since the vet told you to use Karo syrup. One of my dogs was diabetic, and I was told that if she ever acted the way you described your dog behaving -- to smear Karo syrup inside her mouth. And - she did have an episode one time and after using the Karo syrup, she was back to normal in just a minute or two. Hopefully, it will never happen again. But, do have the Karo syrup near by in case you need to use it. And, if you have several recurrent episodes - you should probably take her back to the vet just to doublecheck everything again. I don't know about this (check with your vet). I read that one person gives her dog a teaspoon of Karo syrup every day - this might help keep your dog from having this problem in the future. Boy - if I put Karo syrup on my dog's food - he'd love it. Carol Jean |
Can this be a problem with adult Yorkies as well? |

It is much more scary when it is the teeny little babies that get sick...since there is almost nothing to them ! I call my little Candi "The Worm".....lol Dehydration comes on quickly and the Vet told me you must always be on guard as they could die within hours. Actually when I took my 10 lb Yorkie to the vet because he was throwing up and had bloody diareaha the first thing she said was "this is HGE and he could die from it"....OMG I totally freaked and and he had to be admitted to the doggie hospital on IV antibiotics and hydration. Within a few weeks 2 of my others got the same thing and I did not even wait until morning to take them to the vet...still they were bad enough that they had to be hospitalized. I tried feeding the Pedialite with a dropper but as fast as it went down it came back up. It was all a terrible experience and I am getitng chills just writing about it. :( :( |
yes this can be a problem with all small breed dogs the vet told me just to have Karo syrup at the house and if they seem to get lathargic or comit put a little on your finger and let them lick it off to keep thier sugar levels up. Did you have a similar experience? |
