so i got a puppy about two weeks ago or more and she has been havinga hard time. she is such a sweet heart though. her name is Alice and shes a yorkie. so a couple days after bringing her home i noticed that she has diarrhea and that she was becoming lethargic and not eating so much. so i took her to the vet and they told me she had giardia. so we started on meds but because she only weights 2.2 lb.s they had to special make the meds. i gave her, her first dose and a couple hours later she started throwing up. by this time its almost 11 so i figured id wait till morning to take her to the vet. so i wake up at 7:30 and open her cage and she is laying on her side not moving. so i pull her out of her cage call the vet and rush her out of the door. the vet took her in and gave her an i.v for the whole day. turns out the meds were mixed wrong and she was poisoned from it, making her extemely dehydrated in a matter of hours. so after two days of being on an i.v i got to take her home. now with different meds to help the giardia. she was still having stomach problems but it seemed to be getting better. so a couple days go by and i take her to get a check up at the vet. the do another test on her and now she has come up positive for coccidia and she weighs 2 lb.s even. so then i put her on meds for the coccidia and the giardia. poor girl. after finishing the meds for coccidia i took her back to the vet hoping everything is cleared up. now her coccidia is gone but the giardia is still there! so they put me on a new med as of last Saturday and i don't know if its helping. shes still having loose stool and it seems to be getting black and green in color. shes still eating a special proscription wet food and drinking water. shes playful and spunky as always. i dint know if shes bleeding in her tummy though. i dint know if i should take her to the vet again. i was just there last Saturday and i have another appointment for next Saturday. ugh. shes been in soooo many times. she almost died on me and i couldn't believe it. ive spent over 700$ trying to get her well. i told the lady i bought her from that she was sick when i got her and ask for her to help me with the medical bills but she says that she can only give me a 500$ discount on a second puppy... i don't want a second puppy when i have to spend a small fourtune to keep the first one alive.... i'm so upset but i really love my puppy alice.
<--- Alice!!!!
