Little Tibbe Sick Again - Bad Diarrhea Since Yesterday. Breeders-to-be - READ THIS! - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Sunnydayz · 08-29-2013, 06:38 PM

Awwwww I totally agree with you on those bad breeders, I too wish I knew where the girl was that almost killed my baby Gizmo I rescued. They don't care one bit and just think of making money, so sad

I will be keeping Tibbe and you both in my thoughts and prayers for a very quick healing ((((BIG HUGS))))

Crystal, his former stools were mostly small little stools and had form, just mucus on top. One was only about the size of a 1/4 teaspoon - etc., until that one about 4:25 pm and that was watery, loose, mucus-filled and he obviously couldn't control it, probably thinking he was just passing gas and out it came all on the comforter! That's when I called the vet back and asked about how much fluid I should be getting into him and was told 10 ml. per hour! That's so much for a 6.6 lb. dog, to me!

This has just panicked me a little more - he's trying to play, growling playfully at me and very alert, tail up, ears up, far different than he's been all day! Got his chewie that he hides and is playing around with it on the couch! Wonder if the Metro. is making him high or something. When I took Flagyl I felt weird the whole time I took it and maybe it's doing him the same way - giving him a false appetite and energy. Gosh! This is scary and terrible since I think it's false energy. Never seen one rally that fast. First he ate too much for his tummy/bowel in the state they are likely in and now he's played!

While I was typing this he came and lay down on my legs so maybe that phase is past. Going to be watching him closely and if he has another stool soon, I'll probably run up to Albertson's and get that Kao if they have any. I wish I had asked the vet before they closed but with Lisa and Crystal both of you telling me it should be okay, I feel way better. Ohhhhh, this has been a bad, bad day and a half. Scary times.

Thank you, ladies, for the prayers. We both need them. My stomach is even cramping and hurting some now. Ugh!

Praying for sweet Tibbe and you that he recovers quickly. I hope you can both get some rest tonight.

Deep breaths.

He will be ok. Diet will be a life long headache, but you'll get it figured out.
How about cooking for him?

Yes, it is ok. I specifically asked my vet for you.

This is not Buster, who loves to go at one speed...high. I can tell he's in pain. So yes, to the bad breeders, in my book, you more than suck.

Aren't those BYB'ers and those types that breed just any two dogs together or don't health test or anything just awful - particularly with so many Yorkies having so much trouble from all the bad breeding? Breaks your heart to see it. You think you are prepared, know what you are going to be dealing with but when the trouble comes, it is so heartbreaking and scary and bad for the person, imagine what the little Yorkie is going through!!!

Thank you for your support and prayers!

Thank you so much. We both do need it but Tibbe is the really sick one, poor little guy. He's had a bad year.

I don't know about Kaopectate or Metronidazole.

Thank you so much, Anny.

GTK, Lisa! That makes me feel better if we have to have some extra help in that area!

Please get well, Tibbe, and take care of your special mom, too. I'm so glad that your mom has you to love. She takes such great care of you.

I know he'll try, Lisa. He's such a little protector and great buddy - he'll do his best!

We see each day the pain, worry, and suffering caused by people breeding for the wrong reason. It is so very heartbreaking to say the least.

It should plain be against the law. I know it's not feasible for I can wish!

I hope that if one person doesn't breed their dogs you will make a difference. I am hoping that it really affects more. Hugs and good thoughts to you both

Those awful people that just breed anything anytime and make these poor little dogs are terrible and should have to pay for this kind of pain somehow and feel it, too!

Thank you, SunnyD and Kristen. Appreciate those kind thoughts and caring!!! I'm so tired I hope I can sleep - maybe have gone too long w/out and it might take a while just to unwind. Every time Tibbe moves I freeze wondering if he's fixing to get up retching or needing to go potty. So far so good. We're at about 6 hours since that last big stool! Woohoo!

That is great news!

I understand how exhausting and worrisome it all is. Teddy has been battling diarrhea. He was better all day yesterday, but I made the mistake of giving him his kibble for dinner. After a rough night, I put him back on a bland diet and convinced him that he needs to eat the rice with the chicken. He hasn't produced anything in the last 12 hours. Hoping for firm production or we are off to the vet. Of course, Max is upset with all of disruptions.

May I second that and say Amen all at the same time? She's just irreplaceable. I started to call her tonight just to ask a couple of questions and try to feel better and then hated so to do that to her - knowing how tough and hard and tiring her life is right now! That schedule has got to be a killer! So I came on YT instead and was hoping and praying she might be on! Whew - she was!!!!!!!!!

Crystal, you keep me from flying off into space and freaking all the way with just your words. When you speak, we listen! Means the world to have you there.

Tibbe is still sound asleep but has moved off my legs to the end of the couch on all those thick towels and buried down in them. He's no longer so restless and waking every 15 minutes as he's done all day! That Metronidazole couldn't have worked that fast! But he's full of all that sugar water and food and no stool or vomiting yet! Oh, hoping and praying he can go a while before he needs to potty again. His poor little rectum was so red I had to put ointment on it to soothe it this afternoon. He kept scooting until I did that and then he just relaxed - must have felt so good. He actually went to sleep this afternoon after that ointment was in place for a couple of minutes. Hasn't scooted or turned toward his bottom since and he'd been doing that quite a bit, even scooting on the grass. I think that ointment helped right away. It has a coolness factor to it and cools, calms red, hot, irritated areas immediately. I only used a tiny, tiny bit since I wasn't sure it was okay for dogs but it's been about 8 hours since I did that and he's not scooted once since. And the redness of the tissue all gone - gone back to its regular coloring.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that Teddy has been going through this, too! Hoping that firm production is there next time and things settle down. Oh, I hadn't even thought of what having a second dog might be like when the other dog is sick and everything all upset. That's got to be tough on the well one - just seeing all the turmoil and nursing going on. Every time Tibbe had a stool, had to clean him up and clean the yard and about the time you're done, they are up again and wanting/needing something else. It's almost nonstop going and doing, isn't it? God to be hard on the little onlooker, too! Poor Maxie. Poor Teddy and poor Tibbe. Hoping all our guys are better in the morning! And praying for rest for us both, ha!

Awe...Jeannie, I am so sorry to see that Tibbe's still's not feeling well. Continued prayers for your little man.
