You have a very sick little pup and you need to get her to a vet, a different vet....she needs help. If you can not afford to do so we can offer you suggestions such as CARECREDIT.

Good Luck and please let us know how your pup makes out....
i tried the care credit to take her to er TONIGHT and got denied now i have to wait for tom morning and get her to a regular vet hopefully they can prescribe something else.

How is your pup? Were you able to get her to a vet?

If there is an emergency vet clinic in your town get your dog there asap! Yorkies are fragile and go downhill very fast. I will pray for your dog.

:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
This baby could very well die on you if you do not get her treated aggressively...she is already dehydrated, I am sure....she needs to be force fed if she wont eat.....she needs at the very least, sub-q fluid injected...probably needs IV fluids....

Perhaps you could call the new vet and explain to them the pup has had a fever for over 5 days and that you are VERY worried about her and that you'd like to bring her today. Tell them that you will sit and wait in the waiting room until they can see you. It will not cost anymore to do this and your baby will be seen sooner. I would certainly try to take her in today. This baby needs to be seen sooner than later! You both will feel much better if you do this. Please keep us posted.

thats a very good idea im going to see if my boss lets me leave today bc last week I called out twice for bunny. Tomorrow he wont be here he has to teach at a hospital in the bronx. Hopefully He will let me leave today!!

That's good that she is eating and getting around better but I agree, get her into the vet today !! I don't know any vet, including mine that will not make an acceptation for a sick pup.

cummins 10-02-2013 09:44 AM
Please get her to the vet asap

Any way it turned out she had giardia and caused a fever he metronidazole liquid and clavamox drops. Thursday It will be a week! Her fever was 104.2 at the vets and now it is 103.5. SHe is not well. Clavamox is anti biotic I just found out. NO wonder It is not bringing her fever down. When I questioned him about this he said oh bring her in bring her in again but for what ? Just to make more money!

PLease help me she is my best friend ! What should I do? How can I bring down her fever??
The metronidazole is what is used to treat the giardia. I'm not sure why the vet is giving the clavamox but perhaps to kill any e coli or staph that might be present. Here is some good information on giardia:
Giardia in Dogs | VCA Animal Hospitals
Giardia is sometimes hard to get rid of and it may require her to be on the metronidazole longer. You also need to figure out how she contacted the giardia so you can get rid of the source.

I pray she starts feeling better soon.

yorkietalkjilly 10-02-2013 10:37 AM
Emergency Vet where all the latest equipment resides and fluids, meds can help bring temp down until a diagnosis is made. If not, you will very likely lose her quickly.

mimimomo 10-02-2013 11:27 AM
Fever can cause a pup to lose appetite. Not sure if giardia causes fever? Fever can be an indication of infection...she is not shivering bc she's cold, she's shivering bc she has a fever. Hope all goes well @ the vet. Make sure her fever does not go over 104-105, that is an emergency situation. She can die if her fever reaches 106. How are you taking her temp, from the rectum?
High Fever in Dogs: Symptoms and Treatments

I would borrow money from a family member or friend or even a neighbor (promise I'll clean their place once a week for a month for example), whatever I can to take her to the vet asap. She might need VitB shot, must have sub-q fluids & possible IV.

i think my vet is either nuts or money hungry because when i called he said he prescribed it because it MIGHT help with the fever i WAS like wtf. They had told us she could have got giardia from our shoes if we stepped like on doggy poop that had that or something she is always sniffing around our shoes so we started putting it in closet.

Your vet is not nuts for giving an antibiotic! It sounds to me like he is doing the best he can with limited resources. You have been very clear that you have a problem spending money to vet your puppy....I imagine you told him the same.
My guess is he is handicapped because of that....vets are not mind readers and need physical exams and vital signs in addition to tests being run.

There is a reason for the fever....some type of infection and he is giving meds to try to cover anything that it could be that is causing the fever. Giving something for the fever is not the goal....a fever is there because the body is trying to fight whatever your puppy has. So....if the cause can be fixed, the fever will go down.

I hope you can find a way to get your puppy the care that is needed. It is very scary that she has been ill for so long.
