Rescued 8 week old puppy vomiting bile

[CindyP812]

I called the vets office and they just said that she is on the IV's and they were able to get the lab sent out and that hopefully they will have that back in the AM. They said that she was curled up on a blanket sleeping. I am praying that she makes it through the night. She was so weak and thin when I dropped her off. She could hardly move. She stood for a couple of minutes but was too weak to walk. Please let her be alright.

so sad and so good of you for taking her in, I can just imagine what your vet bills will be, I sure hope she comes through all this because you must be a saint. Poor little girl you can only wonder what the wee thing is thinking about.

A puppy that small can't digest wet food let alone dry. Best thing to make is a puppy gruel. You did right by the puppy by taking him away from irresponsible people. Thank you for doing this. Wish there were other people like you. I hope he is doing better. Please keep us updated hugs

Thanks for all the prayers. I hope she made it through the night. I was instructed to call around 10:30am to see if the labs are in and how she is doing, if I do not hear anything by then. The next two hours will be hard to wait it out.
Praying.....

I am Praying right along with you. Bless your heart for being such a caring person and taking over the care of this little one. I will be checking this thread often to see if you've gotten an update!

Some of these posts dont make sense to me that a puppy cant tolerate canned food at 5 weeks. When I hAD baby kittens I began weaning them to canned food at 5 weeks as the vet told me too and they had no problems. I dont see why it would be any different for pups

Update 10/9/2012 10:24am
That scared me! I called and while I was on hold the vet called me back on my cell phone. I thought that he was going to tell me the puppy was going to die. But he said that she is looking better this morning with the fluids and all. They got the labs back and her electrolytes were all over the place and her sugar was 50 which is low. Also her Protein was high and her BUN was high. He is thinking that she has a bacterial gut infection. She is losing blood in her stools as well. So he is tube feeding her today and continuing with the IV's and antibiotics as well as the anti nausea medication. he said that this would be not a couple days, but more like a week of care to get her well if hopefully she has no systemic issues. He seemed a bit optimistic that at least she was up and looking around this morning. Keeping my fingers and toes crossed that she continues to improve. I have to call again tonight to see how she is doing.

To the op, you are a saint for taking that baby & giving her vet care. I hope she pulls through, sending prayers.

GREED!!!

Yes, thank goodness for such good hearted people. Looking forward to seeing pics when she is better.

This is so sad and so true it makes my stomach turn. Thank you so much for looking after this little baby. Sending healing prayers and best wishes for this sweet Yorkie and her guardian angel CindyP812. I really don't understand how people can decide not to treat a sick animal and just allow it to die. Especially not even bother to find out if it is something easily treatable. That poor baby has been starving. I feel anyone that can be that emotionally callous should not have pets. I am glad to know this baby is now in loving hands.
