Sick Zoe? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

ZoesMon · 08-10-2012, 07:57 AM

My one yr old yorkie is acting strange going one two days now. Very clingy. Won't leave my side and she didnt poop yesterday evening or lastnight until i mixed some pumpkin with some food. After i left for work my bf couldn't get her to eat. Im worried she's sick.

I am hoping that you took her to the vet. I just read on another thread about obstructions that can occur from something the puppy might have eaten. Please let us know how things go. I hope your Yorkie soon feels better.

ZoesMon · 08-10-2012, 11:29 AM

No. I haven't taken her. Everyone keeps telling me she's fine but i just have this horrible feeling. If she's not any better tomorrow morning Im taking her in.

Maybe you shouldn't wait. Is she eating and drinking anything? Is she able to poop and pee okay? If not, I think you are right to worry and the sooner she could be seen, the greater the chances are of a successful diagnosis and recovery. Did you read some of the other posts that talk about illness in Yorkies? I am not at all competent (lack experience with little dogs) to help you, but I do care and worry for your Zoe. I would want to know someone cared about my little Kipper, if he were to get sick....

She pooped lastnight after i gave her pumpkin. This morning my bf couldn't get her to eat but it was after i left for work.

I can just imagine how you must be feeling, having to work and yet worrying about your dear Zoe. I hope and pray that you will be able to soon determine if she needs to see the vet or if she is just reacting to something that might have happened around or to her (like something scary, something she doesn't like, etc). I wish I could offer more support, but I am so new at this....

please always trust ur instinct.......

My thoughts and prayers are with you. Is your boyfriend available to give you an update on how she is acting? For example, is she drinking, playing, eating now? Could a trusted friend go look in on her? Can you take off work early? Have you spoken by phone to your vet? Hoping for the best....

Spoke to my vet and the vet my lily sis works for.I've been told to check my tummy and give her mineral oil to lubricate. All of my family is an hr away and we just moved to the area.

Blessedbee · 08-10-2012, 12:01 PM

What a helpless feeling! Will you be at work much longer? I am glad that you called your vet and I hope that it will be something easily cured, like constipation. A change in water can sometimes do that, I guess. At least it always affected my human babies. Is Lewsiville in Texas or NC? In either case, if it is really warm and she isn't drinking enough, maybe she is dehydrated. Try to be calm for her sake and also it will help you make the correct choices once you get home and can observe her behavior/energy level.

Lewisville, Tx. She's just been laying down alot and her being so clingy is not like her at all. And she looks at me with those eyes and it just seems like something isn't right...
I get off at 5. So in two hrs.

Blessedbee · 08-10-2012, 12:32 PM

I am sure you are counting the minutes...at least it won't be much longer. Remember, I am praying that everything will work out and that you can have peace of mind. When I cared for terminally ill or very disabled children, I can remember the panic I felt when they were not acting right and yet could not tell me what was wrong. One dear child made me cry every time he got an ear infection because he was so happy most of the time and then when he got sick, he would just sob. It can be a challenge to learn to watch for the subtle signals of our animals when they are not doing well. You have been astute enough to notice that your little girl is not just right.

ZoesMon · 08-10-2012, 12:43 PM

Im just soo worried. That little sassy fireball is my life. I just can't imagine a day without her little attitude and stubborn behind! I can't wait to get home to her!!

momma2Bentley · 08-10-2012, 01:06 PM

Did you just get her? (NV, read she is a year old) My Bentley didnt eat and barely drank for over 24 hours. He then started vomiting brown stuff. We took him to the vet and he had to get IV fluids under his skin and an antibiotics shot. We had to force fed him a special diet food, and that was after he hadnt eaten for almost 48 hours.

I hope your baby is ok!! I know what it is like to worry about them.
