I was just given a toy poodle by one of my fathers clients, and the thing just will not stay healthy.
Info:
Toy Poodle
8 weeks old
Female
about 1.5-2 pounds (.68-.9 kilos)
Had all shots and checks. She was clean.
On Monday the dog was throwing up and extremely lathargic, so I took her to my local animal hospital and she was hypoglycemic, after an overnight stay and an IV drip she was back to herself.
The vet instructed me to feed her a calorie supplement, the theory was she wasn't given enough calories which caused her to become deathly ill. I have been feeding her 4 times a day and every other feeding with the Cal. Sup.
when I woke up this morning around 9 the dog was doing the same thing, I had my room mate run her up to the vet (I have a final today). I'm thinking this issue runs a little deeper than just a feeding Issue. I think she may have a parasite or something.
If there are any vets out there please help.
