Can my yorkie get a stomach virus from me? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I have been very ill for the past 18 hours with body aches, vomiting, and diarrhea. (Yeah, I know...TMI...sorry!) No fever though. My son had this on Tuesday.

Poor Gizmo has been very stressed and worried about me. He has been right by my side all last night and all day today. He couldn't have had much sleep, and he hasn't eaten much of anything. A little while ago, he threw up.

It was just the yellow foamy empty tummy stuff, but I'm a little worried.

Do you think this is just from stress/not eating? Or could he have what I have? Is that even possible??

I'm going to have to crawl back into bed. I'll check in later. Ugh.

He's most likely just stressed out from being worried about you. Both Lacy and Rylie have thrown up from being nervous before.

Thanks. That's what I thought, but I wanted to make sure. He's doing better. My husband took him out for some fresh air earlier and then Gizmo ate a good dinner.

These little guys are so sweet.
