Hello,
I took my dogs to the park, it was a brand new dog park with actual water for the dog to jump in. They had the grand opening the night before and I can imagine that there were just tons of dogs in the water. We didn't think about it at the time but our dogs don't have shots since they were from the breeder(yeah, stupid us) I have three of them that I took all the same breed and about the same size they are yorkie/ maltese mix. About 3 o'clock that afternoon, 2 hours after we got home from the park and I gave them all baths right away, my oldest dog started acting funny. He was shaking like crazy, we thought something had scared him, you know how little dogs shake when they are scared, even though my dog is small he usually never shakes when he is scared like most small dogs. But anyway, he has muscle tremors, and acting almost like he is choking but he is still breathing so I don't think he has something lodged in his throat, and he is lethargic, vomiting, and walks really slow almost like he is dizzy. and he wont eat or drink. This happened on sunday and I took him to the vet on Monday. The vet told me that he couldn;'t make a diagnosis because my dog was kind of acting normal because I had him out and he was excited but the only thing he was still had was muscle tremors. So the vet said it would be either allergies( which I don't think it is), or he could have gotten stung or bit by something, and the only way to find out what MIGHT be wrong is to do a blood test and so on. So i said I would take him home and watch him a few days and the doctor said if he gets worse of course call him. Oh yeah and then I remembered that the day before SAT. the dogs were at the groomers, also around a bunch of dogs and could be suseptible to disease. Well, I am writing you , now tuesday, and he is vomiting, and the dizzyness seems to have gotten worse because he just looks like he is staring off in to space and stands in corners and wobbles really bad and so I called the doctor this morning and he said that the only thing he can do is do those tests I mentioned above or take him to a 24 hour facility(hospital) and they can give him IV's and watch him over night. My question to you is just to get a second opinion on all of these signs and symptoms and if you have any clue what it it could be(parvo, valley fever, poison) or if you recommend that I take him to the hospital because it could be something possible fatal. Thank you for your time reading this I know it is long, I just want to give you all the details so you really think about what it could be. Again thanks and I hope to here from you soon. Alexis
