The shaking is what scared me the most. I just felt so helpless... I held her head while she was vomiting, like my Mom did when I was little. Her whole body seemed to contract and heave each time she vomited. It was at least 6 - 8 times, within minutes of each other.

Lauren ~ it's going to be ok. She just has a bit of acid in her tummy, many times it is from having an empty tummy, or it could be from the biscuit from yesterday, but I doubt it. I really don't think you have anything to worry about. Tiki and Surfie both have had foamy/yellow vomit, it went away the same day, and all was well.
Let's wait and see what the Vet says, and then you will have a better idea.......

I boil my chicken, and just use minute white rice. I have no idea if the other food is better, sorry.......

I know exactly how you feel about little Mango, I could see the love in your face.......

Exactly what I thought...I have read when they get dehydrated they will vomit yellow & clear foamy bile. My dogs have done it as well. Usually I will take them to the water bowl and they drink and eat and it goes away. I hope that is all it is with Mango...

It is entirely possible that her stomach was empty this morning and that is why she got sick.

I don't think so because she is fed twice a day, every day, her Evangers kibble. This happened just before her morning meal.

Yorkies have such small of a space to store food and water in their tiny bodies, hopefully that is all it is

Janell, what worries me is the amount she vomited. She did have a few Honey Nut Cheerios that Hubby had given her this morning, which I forgot to mention. But I know them to be totally safe. She is a healthy size - weighed just over 4 lbs at the Vet. I see so many reports lately about Parvo (her shots are up to date), Liver shunt.... seeing what happened to little Teddi... so I guess maybe I am over worrying?
Do you think there is a possibility of her catching something from a park, like the one we were in that Sunday?

Awww Lauren,

I'm so sorry to hear that Mango has an upset tummy. Chloe has had the same thing before. They'll probably want a stool sample at the vet, and you might get an antibiotic and an antiparasitic.

From what you describe, it sounds like the typical reaction when they get a little bug, and doesn't sound serious, so try not to worry too much.

My vet has suggested we give Chloe pepto when that happens, so we give her 0.8ml pepto. But if this is the first time you've seen this, best to take her to the vet and let them run the tests.

Keep us posted.

That is very possible. The one time Chloe had gotten giardia, the only thing I could think of that could possibly have given her that is going to the park (mind you, it was not Yorba park). AFter all, she's a 100% indoor dog, she drinks the same filtered water that we drink in the house. So I decided she must have gotten it from the park because there was no other explanation (though I also did wonder if maybe she got it from Petmsart--you know how they get all excited when they sniff other dogs'...er...um...smells)

Oh Lauren! I just searched out your thread when I saw you mentioned Mango being sick on Ronda's thread, and I'm so sorry to hear Mango is feeling down. Like everyone else has said, I do think it's probably nothing, but it's probably good you took her to the vet just in case. I know she is your life (although I won't let Granny Spanky hear that

). Sukoshi had the same thing happen one morning (3 or 4 episodes in a matter of minutes), so like you, I rushed her to the vet. After blood work and many tests, it turns out it was nothing...just a little stomach bug, and she was fine later that evening. I know it's hard not to worry since you're dreaming up every worst case scenario possible (as I would be), but I really do think it's probably just a little bug. Try not to worry. And keep us posted if you get any news.

laurenr · 11-20-2007, 01:53 PM

I just brought Mango home as she was behaving in a very distressed manner at the Vet. I spoke to the technician about her blood test results, because the Vet had not yet returned from lunch.
Her Blood Glucose level: 130
60 to 110 are within normal limits, so hers is high. Is it possible that the 5 or 6 Cheerios a day could cause this?? I think not, but want to be sure. Otherwise, she just eats the Evangers ALS kibble, mixed with the one teaspoon of Merrick's Grammy Pot Pie.

Tests on Pancreas/AMY: 1501
200 to 1200 are within normal limits, hers are high.

Does anyone think these two results are related? Pancreatitis can cause these elevated levels, but what caused this in the first place??

I have no further information, but am getting quite scared at these results.

Does ANYONE know anything you could tell me?????

Please help!
Lauren

Ellie May · 11-20-2007, 01:55 PM

That does sound like pancreatitis.

Lisa, I'm going slightly nuts here... you know how we are with our babies. I'm still thinking of poor Ronda though, and trying to put my situation in perspective, hoping it is nothing serious. It's just so hard because I have never seen Mango so sick, or ever sick for that matter.
Lauren
Edit: Did Sukoshi have any elevated blood levels when she was sick?

Misty,
I asked the Vet about that park - he knows it well. He says he has no patients that have become ill that have visited there. Like you, I did think of that, especially after the warning you posted a few weeks back after those terrible winds.
Just waiting now for him to return and call me.

Oh sheet Lauren! I understand your concern. I don't know anything about those results, I hope someone who does will answer you soon.

Hang in there my friend, praying for baby Mango.

Will check insoon.
Hugs,
