Need advice, think Tiny is sick! - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

No to the meds, he weighs 2kgs, loves to eat, a year old, yes the vet has drawn blood and no he has never pushed his head against a solid object.

I am so worried!!!

What is his ALT? I bet you are worried. I would be also. If your vet doesn't find anything soon, please have them run a bile acid test.

Don't know what his ALT is, we have to go back to the vet at 7.30 to see what the results of the x-ray and bloods are. Will ask then.

Will also take your advice about the bile test.

The vet has sent Tiny home as he was a lot perkier again in the evening.

However this morning it's the same thing again, lethargy and shaking.

Both the vet and I are bemused as to what it could be. His x-rays and blood were clear.

Please help I don't know what to do, he doesn't seem to be in pain and I don't think it is because of stress.

Did he wake up shaking or did it start after eating?

laura_k4 · 10-17-2007, 04:42 AM

He woke up shaking

Did you talk to your vet about doing bile acids? If they can't find anything this needs to be done to make sure.

Mine had the same symptoms and she ended up with a pancreatic inflammation. She has been on fluid since Friday and she is slowly picking up the beat. She has not eaten yet...
My vet opened her on saturday to see what was wrong and he notice the inflammed pancreas, the spleen duct blocked and the redness of the entire intestine. She almost died... because of a food she ate. Did you feed him table food? Do you feed him fatty foods?

Anyway, the symtoms looks similar. You can send me personnal message if you would like to discuss it... I am right in this situation right now. Bikini is actually sleeping on me with her IV on right now!

Good luck

Hi everyone,

Still baffled! Tiny is still shaking and lethargic in the morning, he looks so miserable and his eyes are a little funny, can't explain it but they look a little buggy.

I don't know if it is something physical or mental because yesterday I was at home and he was shaking, then when my husband came in he stopped and was running around.

When my husband went to the shop he started again. Could it be stress related? He does shake when he is stressed but it's usually more violent than this, like shivering and he's never done it before.

Will go back to the vet today and suggest a problem with his pancreatic inflammation.

These are signs of a liver shunt. You can go on google and type Liver Shunt Symptoms. I'm going through this right now. I would go to the Vet and do a bile acid tests.
Good Luck and keep us updated... it is not easy to see these little lovable puppy so sick!

My vet told me to give Zoey a snack before bed to keep her sugar levels up overnight.
