Hello I am newbie My name is Kyra please help Hi everyone my name Is Kyra, and my new puppy is Ayla. She is a morkie but has alot of yorkie. I have joined because I have been trying to find answer to all the problems I have already faced in the 3 weeks of having this wonderful but very sick puppy. I bought her on Feb. 9 09. I took her to the vet, and they said she was under wgt. and belly was desended so he put her on a deworming, the next day we woke up and she was almost dead. It was awful. Thank God I brought her into my room that night in her crate, other wise? The night before I had her in another room. Well I woke up to her making gagging noise and looked in and she was on her back and looked like she was choking. When I pulled her out she was already limp in my hands. I was so so scared my husband I rushed in pajamas to the nearest vet well i wasnt even sure who was open. Its morning rush and I said we can go to the emerngancy (we wouldnt have made it, they also would have been closed) but I then said lets go to this one and just see I am crying omg the worse feeling I have had so utterly useless not nowing what to do. I was already attached to this little puppy. So my husband is running red lights, speeding doing what ever he can to get her there. My husband has fallen ga ga over her already. as we drove up they were unlocking there doors. She had a hypoglocimia attack. Between the deworming the under wgt. and me not making her eat that last meal of the day. I so wish the breeder would have sent a care sheet about hypo and that she needs this this and this. like so many other breeder have done when they give there pups to there new families. I wouldn't have gone threw all this. I did read about it but I didnt know my puppy yet so I thought she was just tired that night. I had been getting up with her every 3 hours to go pee. I did notice her stumble but just thought she was sleepy. But I agree that they need that nutra cal for a least the frist week for safty measures and to make sure when they dont eat that they will still get there nutrient. Sorry got off track. A week later after a few trips to the night emergency for lows and sneeze cough thing she got to see the vet. The one I was trying to get her into was out over a week and even after all this she couldnt get her in any sooner. I found one that would and we brought in a stool sample for them to check and found out she had a BAD 3+ case of giardia and thats why she had been under wgt and so on. I started to search on the internet and found your forum to be my 2nd best friend I finally got some info. Well she also had her shots and ended up staying there all day the vet talked me into the lepto. she was hurting realy bad and she also had the shakes. Before I had asked if she could give her benydrel first but she wanted to see if she would have a reaction she didnt still give her one. The vet gave her a pain shot, she has quite the lump and its been hurting for 5 days took in her poo sample in this last friday after her 7 day treatment and also had her look at her arm of course it wasnt bothering her then, but good news giardia was gone first round still skeptic of this. I will be bring in another sample in a week. not on there request on what I have learned here. I was giving her a little to much of it I quess for the first 4 days but nothing that was harming her the vet said. so she ended up with a 5 way. I thought she was splitting them up. the kennel cough one and not even sure what eles, but there were 2 more coming but I cancled them. There also giving her a extra set, the vet not sure if the lable sticker record that the breeded gave was real. I think it was.
but i dont want to give her the extra set or the lepto or the kennel not sure how many she needs (sets, i think 3 from what I have been reading) or if the core is good enough, plus rabies. so so scared I am going to lose her. The vet is putting very much inportance on this lepto. I looked and we do not have any reports in years on it in our area. We do go camping alot and not sure if she should have it. If anyone can help with this I would greatly appreictiat it sorry so long. |
