Yorkie drooling and not acting himself My Yorkie (Briar) is about 5 1/2 months old. Two days ago I noticed that he was drooling uncontrolably. He also wet his bed which is something he has never done before. He has also not been sleeping through the night. I am worried about him. Could this be the result of teething? |
No, call your vet immediately.. |
I agree, get him to the vet! When I first saw your thread, the first thing I thought was teething. Toto did that when her new teeth were coming in ... I couldn't keep the drool wiped away. But ... she never peed on anything! I pray there is nothing serious ... please keep us updated! |
I hope that by this time you have had your baby checked by the vet. This sounds like more than teething.... |
this happened to Albert he was drooling in huge amounts and was becoming very drowsy i immediatley took him to our vet and he has gas from eating alot of food. but i was going to lose him. me and my husband both. Please get to the vet. I will be praying for you and your baby. keep us updated. |
Welcome to YT! Yes, get him to the vet ASAP. And let us know what they say! |
Briar Thank you for all of your help. Briar just got back from the vet with a clean bill of health. We were told that he is experiencing severe discomfort in his mouth which is causing him to act out of character. |
Glad to hear he is healthy. Poor baby so was it because he was teething? |
Yes - the vet said that his teeth are not coming in gradually - it is happening all at once. I feel terrible for him, but extremely happy that he is healthy |
Did the vet give you any meds for his pain? :( Poor, poor baby. When Seary was a puppy she always had pain after getting shots. She was a tiny girl so the vet said it would be okay to give her a quarter of a baby Tylenol. We would just crush it and mix it with a little milk, and it always made her feel much better! |
Thanks for the update! So thankful it was just teething. We just gave Toto soft things to chew on, rubbed her gums with a little soft finger toothbrush and tried to keep the drool wiped off her chest! She especially loved the rubbing .... seemed to help her more than anything! ;) |
Acetaminophen is contra-indicated in digs, so don't use it. Aspirin is the OTC drug of choice for mild pain....and I use OroJel for infants..just put some on a cotton-tipped applicator and rub it on the gums. They usually do not mind that at all. I use the max strength for so many things, even itching. Last night I used it in the ear of one of my puppies for itching.. Put it in and wait a coupla mins and clean it out. Scratching stopped. |
I am so glad your puppy is okay. I thought it sounded like teething - and was hoping that her wetting was not even related - just an accident. So nice to hear she is okay - and thanks for getting back to us with what was wrong. Carol Jean PS: I have also read and heard that dogs shouldn't have Tylenol (Acetaminophen) - so it's interesting that someone's vet prescribed it. I know they can take aspirin. |
Im glad to hear he is just teething, and I hope they gave the poor little guy something for the pain. |
