diarreah/vomitting (food? or illness?) - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I am going to call the vet tomorrow and get his opinion on what to do, but I thought I would post here~ just in case anyone has a suggestion.
My little girl went with me to my parents' house last week where (like always) she was fed yummy food by my dad. I know that many disagree with this, but she has always been allowed SOME human food, but I am very particular with what she eats and know all the no-no's of what can make them sick. When she had loose stools a couple days later, I figured it was probably from extra people food from the weekend. However, a couple days after that, she threw up, but mainly the yellow kind that she gets from allergies. I would have left it at that thought, but while the loose stools firmed up, they are still not completely solid and she threw up once more another few days down the road. It has been 2 weeks since we went to my parents' and she is still having mild problems. She has not been herself much, but still active and eating/drinking. She has had a weird issue though the last couple days with her stools~ she will go, but then a couple seconds/minutes later she will have an extra little "squirt" that sticks to her bottom and today kind of stuck like it wasn't out all the way???
BTW she is 4 and I have been feeding her Innova dry for a very long time and Innova canned flex to supplement on top of her food. While she was having severe diarreah at the beginning I gave her bland chicken and rice canned food which helped after a few days and then once she had not had diarreah for 48 hours, I put her back on her regular diet.

I am sure that this is just an allergy thing, it has happened before with allergies, but her eyes are tearing much more than normal. My husband keeps teasing that I have not been taking care of her, but I have~ they are just constantly tearing.

It has been going on for way too long, so the best thing to do is take him and a fecal sample to the vet as soon as possible. If that is negative, your vet may give general meds like Metronidazole or do further testing. If it is an allergy/IBD issue, it needs to be treated so it doesn't turn into something worse.

vomitting and diarhea is not really an allerg thing as my yorkie dd has horrible allergies and does not have this

sounds like intestinal upset -ibd or colitis situation. Best not to feed any fatty foods to yorkies as prone to pancreatitis and having a dog almost die of this it is real scary so please be careful - a little organic chicken, veggies like steamed green beans and steamed carrots ok but beyond that i would caution you to be real careful especially if you are seeing digestive upset. Innova is not a good food for allergies as it has too many ingredients so if she is itching alot i would get on a allergy limited ingredient food as that may help
