Yorkie Hair Lost Problem and Irregular Bowel Movements, Help me. Hi, This is my first time on yorkietalk.com, I want to know if there is some remedy for hair lost,seizures and irregular bowel movements on yorkies. I don't know why my six month yorkie lost his tummy and legs hair. Looks like his hair is braking. Also, last night he had noisy irregular bowel movements and today morning he had a seizure. He had this before (last holly week) and I spent a lot of money on vet. Vet just told me that my baby had an infection. They gave him Metronidazole and Pepcid. Problem continue, he only weight 2.4lbs. :confused: |
I don't know WHAT could be causing all these problems :confused: All I could suggest would be to take him back to the vet. I sure do hope your little guy gets to feeling better soon. I'll keep him in my prayers tonight. ;) |
The Metronidazole is used to treat giardia, a parasite of the bowel, so this should help the diarrhea. Giardia is hard to get rid of and they can easily reinfect themselves so he may need another round of the medicine. It doesn't sound like anything is being done for the skin condition. Is it itchy? Could be a food allergy, mange (mites), flea allergy, contact allergy, etc., but it needs to be diagnosed and treated. Are you feeding a high quality food at least three times a day? Is he eating well. The seizure most likely was caused by hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), but it could be some other underlying health disorder. Are you giving Nutrical or Nutristat to help keep his blood sugar up? Nutrical also provides essential fatty acids that would be helpful to his skin. |
