[QUOTE=Abbymartinez;1679298]What test do I need to ask for to see if he is hypo[/QUOTE Not sure. Someone here might know. Something you can do at home is when he starts shaking give him a little bit (on your finger) of karo syrup or nutrical. If that stops the shaking almost instantly then it is probably hypo, if not it must be something else. No pup should be nervous enough to shake that often unless he is cold... Otherwise you can do a bile acid test (a blood test before and after eating) to check for liver problems which are extremely common in Yorkies. This problem is quite serious so hopefully it's not that. |

Please try a bit of white Karo syrup or go to the pet store and by Nutrical. If this doesn't work you may want to consult with another vet for a 2nd opinion. I do want to welcome you to YT |
I hope your baby gets better:thumbup: |
Thank you all so much! you all have been a big help! I was listen & reading another chat site about puppies shaking and I found about half a dozen people with the same problem, but they seem to think the puppies are just cold? I don't think he is cold, because even if I have the heater on and a sweater on him he still does this. Thanks again for all your support!!;) |
I have been giving him the nutrical but NO:confused: change in his shaking, he goes to the Vet tomorrow so I will keep you all posted. |
I know this isn't the same but my mother and grandmother did the same thing. They both had nerve problems. If you can't get it resolved any other way you might need to get her checked. |
Keep us updated,good luck. |
Well I have bad news the second vet that i saw today said he is having head tremors and he thinks that maybe it is due to his liver. he wants me to go see a specialist like a nuerologists to run some tests on him, He also said that when dogs have liver problems that it is not an easy fix, alot of tests and a surgery would need to be done, and he said the surgery doesn't always fix the problems. he thinks it is already affecting his brain because of the way he is behaving, i was there for about 40 minutes for him to evalute him. I called the breeder that I got him from and she said I could return him and get another puppy, so now my family has to go thru all this emotional feelings beause we are already attached to him:( I asked her what would happen to him and she said he would go to a recue place that could help him out. This a too much for me and my daughter we were both in tears today. :( |
I am so sorry. Would the Breeder be willing to help with vet bills if you kept him and treated him. |

Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry that it wasn't just nerves. :( I don't know what I would do if I was in this situation. How heartbreaking. Please keep us updated, I haven't gone through anything like this to know the costs but I venture to think it is very expensive just to do even the testing. :( |
Hi everyone I've been talking with the breeder and I asked her if I wanted to keep him would she help with the Vet bills and she said NO:mad: I kinda had a feeling she would say no. But then I asked her was the new litter from the same DAD because the Vet told me this is pasted thru genetics, she said she is not sure if its the same father, so now I'm not even sure of the next puppy that I will be getting.:( She said she wouldn't do any cash refund of course. How frusting this all is I wonder if there is someone I can report her to? She is just breeding for the money and not caring about what she's doing She had litters in Sept, Oct and Dec that seems to be alot of breeding going on. My sister bought a puppy from her from the Oct litter and the puppy has had a cough ever since she got her, the Vet said she would be ok This is what I get for going thru a newspaper ad!! My last puppy was from a internet ad and I guess I just got really lucky because she has been so wonderfuland and Healthy too |
