Wednesday the puppy is sick. Thurs. night she threw up foam from about 7pm until 5 am. My first instinct was parvo, but she did not have diarhea and was running no fever. We believe she ate something that didn't agree with her as I am constantly taking something out of her mouth that she has found only God knows where.

Got her immediately to the vet the next morning. Told the vet everything that happened. He pretty much ruled out parvo though they are going to keep an eye out. He believes it is gastritis from something she ate. He gave her two shots one to keep her from vomiting and the other an antibiotic. I have an antibiotic to give her every 12 hours and a special puppy food and give her Nutrical a couple times a day.

They said she should have been wanting to eat on her own last night. This has not happened yet. So I am now forcing water and food down her throat with a syringe every 4-5 hours. Luckily there has been no further vomiting.

All day she has just laid around, only getting up when she needs to go to the bathroom, which isn't often since there is not much in her system. She'll hold her head up to look at you but pretty much stays curled up in a ball on her favorite chair. She has absolutely no interest in food and water and is really starting to worry me so it is back to the vets tomorrow to see what they can do.

This is all coming in on me right after my older brother died suddenly of a massive heart attack 2 weeks ago, then this past weekend we found lice in my daughter's hair. So needless to say there have been many sleepless nights around here. I understand what my poor puppy is going through cause right now I don't feel like eating either. Please pray for us. It's a really tough time right now, one of the reasons that I haven't been on in a few weeks and might be a few more before we can get back to a somewhat normal household.

To all of my wonderful friends on here thank you so much in advance for all of your prayers, we are really needing them. I'm crying now because I don't know what I'll do if I lose my best doggie friend on top of everything.
