Please take him to another Vet ASAP. I am worried this may need attention at once.

capt_noonie · 11-29-2012, 03:29 PM

Good to hear you took him to another vet. I've never been impressed with Banfield either.

Verbena · 11-29-2012, 03:30 PM

I am glad you took him to another vet. Please keep us updated with the results of the tests

cummins · 11-29-2012, 03:45 PM

Please keep us updated

TxVicki · 11-29-2012, 04:27 PM

So glad to hear you took King to another Vet. Please keep us updated on him. I will continue prayers for him.

ladyjane · 11-29-2012, 05:10 PM

Just seeing this. Glad you went to another vet...I have heard far too many negative stories about Banfield. Hope that King is doing better now!

CouversMom · 11-29-2012, 05:59 PM

I'm glad you took him somewhere else. I'm glad that you are happy with your new vet. You aren't far from us, we are from the Tri-Cities... You don't see many Washingontonians on here. If he continues to have problems, I would get him to Pullman. Good luck! I hope he starts feeling better soon.

So happy you got him to another vet...pls keep us posted on what you find out! Saying prayers for King

BigKing · 11-29-2012, 06:30 PM

He is like a different dog tonight. He isn't shaking and although he is tired, it's because he was awake all night shaking and whining. I thank you all for your prayers and I am so thankful for this website. Several times I have had questions and issues about things for king and found the answers here from other Yorkie lovers. What a cool forum. Just as a question, what do you recommend or what do you feed your Yorkies? King was on a store bought hard food but hasn't ever really eaten it well. After all of this I began to give him Royal Canin "Yorkie Formula" but he just looks at me like I am crazy. Anyone have any recommendations... he loves carrot pieces but is pretty picky overall. Thanks!

My prayers for your precious Yorkie. I am so sorry you had to experience Banfield. I am glad you found a good vet you can trust. Keep us posted as I will be waiting to hear good news. We all must be very careful with the chew type bones we give our dogs. Some of those pieces can break off and get lodged. The greenies are not good for them. Be very careful of any rawhide stuff. I will not give my JoJo that as he can tear anything up in a heartbeat and swallow it. Oh Lord please help little King to get better and be back to his sweet playful self soon!

capt_noonie · 11-29-2012, 07:12 PM

A lot of yorkies are notoriously picky eaters. It's hard to find a food they like, esp if you keep switching around, they learn that they can refuse food for a bit and then maybe get something better. I am guilty of doing this when Uni was young.

You could try drizzling just a bit of chicken broth on the kibble. For some reason, that works wonders when Mandie won't eat. Just worth a shot anyway...

Glad that King is doing better!

horsnaround · 11-30-2012, 04:35 AM

So glad you found a good vet. Hoping they get him feeling like brand new

BigKing · 11-30-2012, 10:00 AM

So this morning the vet called. She said that the radiologist overlooked the film and that there seems to be no blockage but with the protein levels so high and his vomiting ongoing and his swollen spleen that there is a good chance he has cancer. They want to do an ultrasound and recheck the proteins. I thought he was getting better and now I have to find a way to tell my mom. King is like a son to her and how do you tell someone that kind of news. Please pray for him, he is the most incredible little guy ever and deserves such a wonderful life. I will keep you updated!
