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

laura_k4 · 10-15-2007, 04:55 AM

Hi everyone,

Tiny didn't poo all yesterday and so was a little sluggish last night, we gave him a little olive oil in his food to try and loosen him up but he was still quiet.

This morning he was really lethargic and shaking. Wouldn't get out of bed when I got ready for work which has never happened before.

He has now had a poo but he is still shaking, not so lethargic but not his usual self either.

Do you think it warrants a trip to the vet to get him checked out??

Any ideas on what it could be?

Thanks

Take him to the vet... did he ate table food?
It could be an indigestion?
Could he have ate something on the floor?

Shaking is not a good sign. Have you given him something to raise his sugar? IF he is still shaking after that he needs to go to the vet.

laura_k4 · 10-15-2007, 05:09 AM

He is one year old and the only thing he has had to eat is chicken broth last night, to help with the constipation and then this morning he hasn't eaten anything.

He seems to be very sleepy, I'm really worried going to take him to the vet now as I can't raise him

Yorkiekids · 10-15-2007, 05:42 AM

I'd take him to the vet. I'd be afraid to leave him alone.

Patti · 10-15-2007, 05:50 AM

Glad you are taking him to the vet now. Keep us posted. Hoping he will be fine

fannie · 10-15-2007, 05:57 AM

Do you have any Nutrical? Even Karo will work to raise his sugar in a pinch. Good luck at the vet.

Ladymom · 10-15-2007, 06:11 AM

I agree. He needs to be seen by your vet.

Keep us posted.

Any word on Tiny ?

laura_k4 · 10-15-2007, 07:37 AM

Hi everyone,

Just got back from the vet, he thinks it's a virus as he can't feel any masses in Tiny's stomach. Plus he has a temperature of 40 which is a little high.

He has given him a shot of antibiotics and something to lower the temperature.

We have an appointment again tomorrow so the vet can see how he is doing.

Thanks for all the help, I will keep you posted x x

Hope everything goes well today with your furbaby. We will be thinking of you

pokche · 10-15-2007, 04:56 PM

I hope Tiny is ok... I understand what you go through. My little Bikini has been at the Vet since Friday, she was operated on Saturday and it is a miracle she is alive. I was suppose to bring her home tonight but she is not well enough. It broke my heart to see her today... she has no energy! I hope she will be find tomorrow!

So take a good care of Tiny... it is not fun to see them sick!

laura_k4 · 10-16-2007, 08:01 AM

After the vet gave Tiny the injections he perked up and was his normal self. However, after I had gone to work this morning my husband called me to say he had rushed Tiny to the vet as he had taken a turn for the worse.

His temperature is normal so that means it is not the cause of the shaking, the vet does not know what is causing Tiny to become so sick so is taking x-rays to see if it is something he has eaten.

Things aren't looking good though.

Will keep you updated

Ellie May · 10-16-2007, 08:08 AM

I have a few questions for you. Has Tiny ever reacted to a medication? Is he thin? Does he like to eat? How old is he? Did the vet draw blood? Has Tiny ever done anything like push his head against a solid object?
