I took my toy Yorkie to the vet on Saturday because she was wheezing, not getting enough air, vomiting a little, and licking the carpets. We suspect she may have ingested toy stuffing. The vet found her tongue to be dark due to lack of oxygen, took blood, gave her antibiotics, and sent her home. Today, the vet called to say her lab results were abnormal, likely due to dehydration, and recommended subcutaneous fluids and repeat labs. She is currently eating, drinking, and playing normally. Does she really need this treatment?
