Im so sorry that he is going through this! And I am sorry that you are having to deal with it as well. Are you feeding him the same food now that the breader was feeding him? Sometimes the drastic change to a different food can be difficult on them. Im glad to see that you decided to take him in for another opinion. I think you have made the best decision for him! Keep us informed on how he is!

Okay i'm back. Again, they found nothing. Just a very upset stomach and they gave him some fluid. I had already started giving him the medication from the first vet and now that we are back he seems better and more alert. I made him some chicken to mix with the rice and he gobbled up the chicken but left the rice!

He is still up to his same mischief but at a slower pace. I'm hoping he is getting better and won't relapse i'll be watching him.

Thanks for your concern and prayers I probably wouldn't have gone back to a vet so soon if it hadn't been for your advice. I have had some experience with big dogs but the smaller ones are new to me.

Bless your heart! YOU and your little furbaby have really been through it!
I just have one little thing to mention. If you have doubts about your VET, CHANGE VETS. Find a vet that you can trust and have confidence in because it could mean your yorkies life............Good Luck and please keep us updated. WE CARE.........

When my puppy got sick my vet suggested rice mixed with cottage cheese. I mixed it up and added a little maple syrup for flavor this may help your little one eat the rice. and the syrup should be good for his blood sugar.

Im glad to hear that they didn't find anything else. Good luck with him! Keep us posted on how he does!

With the tiny ones the best rule of thumb to follow is "better safe than sorry".
I am glad they found nothing but maybe you can try some oatmeal instead of the rice, that is what my vet suggests because that is what happens, they pick the rice right out. Good luck with your new baby and I hope he feels better soon.

My first thought was parvo..he had the symptoms..did they check him for that? I would keep a close eye on him. Good luck..
