bo$$ is sick helpppp
 
I know I know I shouldn't have brought from a breeder! But I did and she sold me a 6th old parti yorkie. He is now almost 8 weeks! His stomach was pretty round when I first got him so I took him to the vet and got him deform since he's too young for the other vaccines! Yesterday he wasn't his usual excited hyper self he had super bad diarrhea and threw up a few times and had the shakes I rushed him to the vet the vet said maybe the food I been feeding him upset his stomach and he gave me flagyl to give to him! Today he seems a little happier but still shaking like it's cold when the room is Damn near hot! What should I do I'm soo worried about my little guy and he's only 2lbs

rubymoon2072 04-02-2014 08:39 AM

This could be hypoglycemia. This is an emergency situation. Call the vet immediately and explain the symptoms, and ask if it's okay to give him a little corn syrup to increase his blood sugar before you take him in to the vet.

are you stimulating his body to help him poo/pee? Mama would be licking him all over. How often is he going to the bathroom?

He told me to start giving him honey in his food but it's kind of like he didn't even want to test him for anything

Yeah all he wants to do is drink water he will nibble at his food but not really eat it! When just a few days ago he's was eating and was fine now it's he has a cold or chills

He took me honey I said how about Karo syrup! It's also recommended me to feed him chicken and rice instead of pet food and see if his stomach is still upset! But that doesn't seem right I had a pomeranian last and if he ate human food he always got worms let alone a baby yorkie what do you think?

He pees a lot he can barely hold water for more than 10 minutes his poo had been very normal up until yesterday when he had the runs and the shaking part scared me because he's looking at me like help me and the vet saying he's fine

If your vet said to add honey to the food, then he must think that it's hypoglycemia. Karo syrup is also used to treat hypoglycemia. It's a little disturbing that your vet didn't want to see your puppy, so you might consider seeing another vet...

About the chicken and rice, a lot of people do home cooking for their Yorkies, so that's not a strange suggestion. The important thing is to prepare the food in a manner that is healthy for the dogs--little or no added salt and fat. People who home cook for their Yorkies will chime in with additional suggestions.

If it's hypoglycemia, he should respond quickly to the honey or Karo syrup that you give him. If he doesn't stop shaking within a half hour after giving honey or Karo, then it might be something else, and he should DEFINITELY go back in to see the vet.

Yorkiemom1 04-02-2014 10:00 AM
This little baby needs to see a vet that is familiar with Yorkies....does your vet see alot of Yorkies in his practice? Also, he is unvaccinated....I worry about parvo....they can do a snap test....there is alot of different opinions on honey and giving it to puppies and babies....Karo syrup is a better choice. Try feeding him chicken baby food...you need this baby to eat asap....he can not survive on water....he can easily lick chicken baby food from your finger, and it is easily digested...start there. When he gets a couple more weeks on him, you can boil chicken and rice and see if he will take that....go for easy and fast and tasty and easily digestable...baby food requires no expendature of energy to chew....he can just lick it and swallow....and they all seem to love it....and as long as he is drinking, I would put Pedialyte down for him......

rubymoon2072 04-02-2014 10:05 AM
did you try moistening his hard food with some warm water?? he may not like it super hard to even have a hard time breaking it up depending on the size of the kibble you could try that and mix in a lil of tiny chicken bits. see if that makes him more inclined to eat. I would really suggest as suggest by other to find another vet who is more familiar with yorkies or the small breeds. i really hope everything turns out ok he is about 4 weeks to young to be away from his momma.

Yeah I kind of felt like I got trick out my money because he didn't do much for him. Are there vet that specialize in yorkies? Yeah I think today I'll buy him baby food the chicken and rice and add Karo seems honey would be too sweet

As soon as I get home I'll give him some Karo and see how's he's feeling. While he's be down he's super under me like a real baby but now he won't come to my husband only me is that because he's not feeling well?

Yorkiemom1 04-02-2014 10:33 AM
There are vets that have a large client roster of Yorkies or even small breed dogs...small breed dogs like Chihuahuas and Yorkies and Poms need vets that are familiar with small breeds as they do require different approach to solving problems than large breeds....
I would try the PLAIN CHICKEN BABY FOOD, not chicken and rice! I am a little confused about how old this baby is....6-8 weeks old?? You want to keep this as simple as possible for this baby....this baby is just not too far off still nursing if he was still with his momma....he is more into licking stuff up and just beginning to learn to chew gruel or softened kibble....the chicken baby food is easy for him to lick it up, they usually love it, and you will be getting food into this baby, which he desperately needs. Dont worry who he is going to right now...he is going to follow the food! If you are feeding him, that is where he will go! Just get food in him and when he get to be around 12-14 weeks old, he will expand his family skills.

you know what your right I guess I needed to hear it from someone else something didn't feel right like he should have done more I Google and found out more info then the vet told me! When I first got him he's tummy was do bloated still kind of is he was deform since I was thinking maybe the worms came back or parvo if not the sugar level I'm going to try Karo as soon as I get home. How much does snap test usual cost?

She got him at 6 weeks of age and now he's almost 8 weeks old. By all means follow Yorkiemom's advice--she has a LOT of experience nursing young Yorkies along. To summarize:

(1) See a vet who has experience with toy breed dogs. Consider getting him tested for parvovirus.

(2) Feed chicken baby food for a couple of weeks.

(3) Try Karo syrup instead of honey.

(4) Give him Pedialyte to drink instead of water.

(5) If he doesn't stop shaking really really soon, get him to the vet right away.

I'm going to get the baby food and Karo tonight and check out a view online review about a new vet how long do you think I should wait if the shaking continues?

like she said in our experience you should not wait to long to see another vet if he is still shaking. where he is so young they can really decline very fast.

The Karo and baby food should act very quickly if it's hypoglycemia, within a half hour. If he's still shaking after that, please take him to the vet right away. And if he's still vomiting and has diarrhea, take him to the vet ASAP and have him tested for parvovirus. He's still very young and small, and small puppies can go downhill rapidly.

For goodness sake, if this pup is sick, do NOT let anyone vaccinate him!!!!!

joyce evans 04-02-2014 03:43 PM
I would go to another vet or ER if any of the symptoms you described are still going on.

rubymoon2072 04-03-2014 06:25 AM
oh my...you should really get yorkie for dummies. no offense but why would you even consider doing vaccs right now when your not exactly sure what is going on with bossy. please do not do more than one vac at a time and wait in between once he is healthy enough to go forward with vacs. I am not trying to be mean or rude in saying this it just doesn't seem you understand how important it is to make sure he is healthy and ok.

joyce evans 04-03-2014 01:08 PM
How is your pup today?
