| soo sad :[ need to vent <l3 sorry if long .. well my little howie has always been a little energizer yorkie since the day my boyfriend brought him home for my birthday. howie is from a local petstore and my boyfriend didn't know anything about petstores and puppymills, so i didn't make a big fuss because it is the thought that counts and i realized i was going to give him all the proper love and care he deserves. well, tuesday we had some guests and they left a water bottle out and it had only a little bit of water left in and we let howie out after the left to play a little .. he got into and when he lifted the bottle up the water went into his mouth [throat] and he kinda gagged and since then he has been acting very strange. loss of appetite, lethargic only when he is in his room, barking and whining like crazy at the ceilings, and just like an hour ago i went to see if he would eat out of my hand and it seemed like he was gagging again like he wanted to throw up .. i panicked and i was trying to help him and he got over it. i have an appt tomorrow with the vet .. and i am bawling right now :[ my boyfriend is at a bowling game and i called him crying and he came straight home .. i called my parents who live in texas [i live in florida]. i'm soo sad sorry if this was really long but i just needed to vent because other than my boyfriend, parents, and bestfriend care .. everyone else is like "so it's just a dog"

| It is possible he aspirated the water into his lungs, which could explain the gagging. If that is the case, it could cause pneumonia or another infection. Do you have an ER vet near you? If so, I would at least call rather than wait till tomorrow. Good luck and let us know how he is.

| Oh I'm so sorry. I know you must be terribly frightened. i think taking him to the vet is the best thing, if he can't clear it from his lungs he could get pneumonia. Keep us posted on how he is doing,. |

| Oh I am so sorry you baby is not feeling well! I think you need to see if you can take him to the vet tonight. I think it is possible it could be in his lungs too. I hope he gets to feeling better. Please call your vet tonight. I live in a small town and we only have 2 vets and If I call they always come out and meet me at the clinic. I always feel better even if it wasnt that big of a deal. |

| Gaging is serious, you need to get him to the Vet asap, if he aspirated the water into his lungs he could be in trouble. Please let us know how he is doing, and Good Luck, he is in my prayers, please hurry to the Vet. |

| UPDATE: my little howie is doing so much better, the vet said he has a very bad sore throat and that is the reason why he was gaggin. i was so realived to know it was not pneumonia. i want to thank you all for the prayers and understanding i honestly do not know what i would do without such great yorkietalk friends. i was sad and scared for my howie and then i was hurt by the awful thigs some of my "friends" said to me ... "if he's gonna die let him don't waste your money" i was an emotional wreck .. once again ladies and gents thaaankk you from the bottom of mine and howies heartt. <3
