Sick Toy Yorkie I have a sick 7 week old toy yorkie. I just got him last night and he was fine. After brining him home he got diarrhea, just liquid. He also won't eat today. First thing this morning I went to Petco and got Nutri-Cal, which he will not eat on his own either. I have been force feeding him the Nutri-Cal, I cannot get him to eat any normal food at all. He is drinking water, I have been putting a little sugar in the water as well. What can I do? |
This sounds very serious, my advice would be to get him to a vet as soon as possible. Honestly he was too young to be taken from his mom and litter mates at only 7 weeks. Hope he gets better soon. |
Sick baby So sorry your baby is sick, you must be very upset and concerned. First have you called the breeder and asked for help? Wherever you got him from he is very young at 7 weeks to be taken from his mother and out in the wide world. You did well to give him water and Nutrical, but he really needs to see a vet ASAP or he could get very sick. He is too young to let this go on as he will get dehydrated and whatever ails him could get worse. Hope you are able to get him in today either with his vet or an ER vet. Hope he gets diagnosed and treated soon. Good Luck. |
Nutri-cal needs to be followed by food, it shouldn't replace food. If they don't eat after having nutri-cal, their sugar can drop. Have you checked his gums? They should be moist & pink in color. You need to get food into this young pup, baby food (no onions in it in any form), kibble mixed w/goat's milk, canned puppy food like Royal Canin Puppy Mousse. The puppy needs to eat! Please take him to the vet asap, today is Sat & most vets are open. Don't wait til later bc you might end up @ the ER which costs so much more & most vets close on Sundays. He might need fluids bc young puppies get dehydrated fast & they go downhill even faster. The stress of the new home w/out his momma, new food causing digestive upset, even too much nutri-cal (& sugar water) causes the runs. Please see a vet asap, he might also have worms/ parasites. |
How is the puppy, did you see a vet? |
He needs food ASAP! Nutri cal and sugar water won't sustain him. I fed "Royal Canin mini baby dog " from 6 weeks until about ten weeks at my vet's recommendation. You can buy it at petsmart and petco along with most other major pet food retailers. Moisten the food with a little warm water. He will need to eat every 4-6 hours at 7 weeks old. Please let us know how this lil guy is doing. |
I agree with everyone above. Your pup needs a vet and real food now! These little ones can go down so fast. |
How is your pup? were you able to get him to a vet? |
Giving him the nutrical is not going to help unless your following it up with real food or he is just going to crash after his sugar raises. Only bad breeders let the pups go that early so there is no telling what could be wrong with him so he needs to go to the vet now or you could lose him. |
please update what is happening with your little one. Diarrhea and a 7 week old puppy are not good. I pray that you went to the vet. |

Please get this unfortunate little soul to a vet ASAP....he is very sick and at such a young age, he has absolutely NO reserve, and he can loose ground and die on you very quickly. Praying for this baby........ |
You truly need to get to a vet ASAP, seriously. 7 week old puppies shouldn't even be adopted out yet, they're too young and vulnerable at this age. Liquid diarrhea is a VERY bad sign in a young puppy bc they could die from it due to rapid dehydration. Not eating in any dog, any age is not a good sign -- it always means something is wrong. PLEASE get to a vet NOW...before this puppy dies in your care. |
Please take just a moment to update some very concern members! |
Please up-date, you have many concerned members worrying about your baby boy. |
I am really worried about this puppy, hope there is an update soon :/ |
