| Lily not feeling well! Lily started throwing up night before last night at bed time. It is foamy. The next morning she ate some peanut butter(that is about all she will eat if feeling bad). played all day and ate her normal food. Then this morning she started the same thing, thrown up a few times and it is mostly foamy. She won't eat either today, not even peanut butter, and she won't play with her favorite ball, so I know she feels bad. Could she just have a virus, I guess dogs can get those? It seems like every time I take one of them to the vet for something like this, they just say watch her/him few days, and do nothing but charge me a large visitation fee, then they are better in a few days. So any suggestions? I am worried sick, plus we are getting our new toy poodle Wednesday, and I don't want him getting sick.

| Maybe you can just call your vet and get some antibotics. Explain about the new poodle, and maybe they'll give you a script without seeing your baby.

| They definately won't give me an antibiotic without seeing her, I have tried that in the past when I knew they all had the same thing from each other. I may just wait until Monday and see how she is feeling, if no better then I will take her in. She did eat a little peanut butter and some chicken broth earlier, but won't eat her food.

| I took her to the vet on Saturday, I was afraid she would get worse and did not want to pay er vet fees on Sunday. He thinks it was a virus and gave us antibiotic and nausea meds. He said if she wasn't better by today to come in, but I think she feels better so we didn't go in. She finally ate her food today on Monday, she hadn't touched her food since Wednesday of last week. She would eat turkey slices from the deli and kept that down. Now she won't poo, she hasn't had a bm since Thursday, is there anything I can give her to help her out? She doesn't seem to be constipated, she isn't straining or even trying to poo.

| she hadn't touched her food since Wednesday of last week. She would eat turkey slices from the deli and kept that down. Now she won't poo, she hasn't had a bm since Thursday, If she hasn't been eating properly, she simply may not have enough in her system to make a bowel movement. Pumpkin pulp IS a gentle laxative, but I think I'd hold off a bit if she's not straining or acting uncomfortable. Sometimes, difficult as it is, the best course of action is to just "wait and see". Like anything else though, common sense is warranted. You know your dog better than ANY of us.... and better than the vet for that matter. Follow your heart when it comes to knowing when professional help is required and when to just wait and observe closely. Hopefully she's well on the road to recovery. |

| Thanks, I think you are right on not having enough in her system to have to have a bm. She seems to be feeling much better today was her last dose of the nausea meds, so I will see what happens tommorrow when she doesn't have anything for the nausea. Crossing my fingers, hope she still feels ok and eats. We get our new puppy tommorrow!!

| SHE POOED!! I just took her out after posting my last post and she went and it was normal. Now if she will just eat, sometimes she won't eat in the morning and doesn't eat until 12 or so. She has never been a huge eater, sometimes just once a day, depending on her mood I guess. I am just glad she finally had a bm, funny what us doggy mommys get excited over,LOL.
