| Please Help-- Possibly Parvo?? I just got my girlfriend a little toy yorkie from a breeder on Sunday. It is 11 weeks old. I'll describe everything else later but anyways- She threw up last night and it was a yellowish color and my girlfriend was a little worried. She was at work all day and I got off at 1 so I swung by her house to go check on Cali (the dog) and she had a few spots of throw up everywhere- It could have been pee but I believe it was throw up. Now my gf is at the vet and she sent me a text message saying that it could be Parvo? Anybody have any experience with this??? Thank you, Joe, Brooke & Cali |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Oh, I'm sorry, this is very bad news. Parvo is really dangerous, and I'm very sorry to have to say that. Here is some info: http://www.workingdogs.com/parvofaq.htm I wish you ALL the best and I'm sending some healing thoughts for your baby. PLEASE let us know what happens.

| Hypoglycemia causes yellow throw up too. You may want to also pick up some Nutrical or Nutristat at the pet store to give her. If it is Parvo you need to get that pup to the vet ASAP!

| YEAH thats great! i told your its probably hypoglycemia or just sick to her stomach. Did you change her food suddenly or are you feeding her what the breeder was feeding her? |

| We were using the stuff the Breeder was. Eukanuba- She gave us a sample as well as some Mighty Dog food. |

Bella Boo & Diggy Too! Donating GS Member | I would try searching threads and getting some input of quality dog foods....both that you mentioned have been found with bad fillers and not so healthy for your baby. If you need more info let us know!!

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I am so glad it's not parvo. With these little ones you have to make sure they are eating frequently and limit their stress when first bringing them home, You will get all the help and support you need here. Welcome.
