| matese | 10-24-2014 04:00 AM | Glad to see your lil Mia is eating and pooping, just wondering if she passed what ever was seen on the xray. Just to give you a bit of what I HAD TO DO with my lil boy. Last month my Cody was diagnosed with Coccidia (intestinal Parasite) after I "choose" to bring in a stool sample just for the "hell"of it, his visit was for environmental allergies. For the Coccidia he was treated with Marquis Parquis/Ponazupl. The day after His first dose of Marquis Parquis/Ponazupl, I saw some white things in his poop, so I asked my YT family what could it be. One member advised "as gross as it may be" mush up the poop to see if it is worms. Mush up poop :eek:. 35 + years I have dogs, cleaned off diarrhea that was stuck to their butts, but mush up poop to look for worms double :eek::eek:. Well if that's what needed to be done,that's what I'll have to do. Was it pleasant? NO, did it STINK? YES, but this is my baby, for a week I was the master of poop mushing, and I did find living worms, over a period of a week I saw dead worms, I had called my vet, spoke with a tech, asked if the Marquis Parquis/Ponazupl would kill these other worms besides the Coccida, I was told it would. Had this member not told me to do this gross poop mashing, I would never have thought to do that, and would never had known besides the Coccida he also had what could have been tapeworms as well. I have not seen any thing, yet 3 times a week I will do the poop mashing looking for worms. What I am trying to get at here is. Sometimes we have to do some very unpleasant things to help our lil furbutts lead a healthy life, when we purchase our babies we never think we may have to play with poop, or search vomit to see if they threw up something they swallowed, but it happens. YT members are passionate and dedicated to the breed, they are concerned about your baby, my baby, all babies. When someone comes to the YT family with a sick or injured pup, all get involved, give advise, tips,suggestions. even if it's just "take the pup to the vet". There are no vets on this forum, just many members that have had many experience's with different types of illnesses, but no one can diagnose what can / may be wrong with another members pup. A vet that can actually see the pup is your only help for a cure. When a member comes on YT with a sick pup we all worry about that baby, these babies can go down fast and immediate action must be taken by it's owner. There are many Aunties on YT that worry over all babies, and because for the LOVE of animals unselfishly share with us their experience, offer advise, suggestions and "beg" for pup to be taken to a vet or ER. Love of the yorkie breed and all dogs is what this forum is all about. I have been praying for lil beautiful Mia to pass what ever was seen on that xray, and for her not to get injured with it's passing. I am very happy to read that she is getting back to her happy lil self, but please watch her closely over the next several weeks to ensure she is 100% back to normal. |
