| I don't know what's wrong with my baby!!! I noticed yesterday that Kobe kept scratching himself a lot, which started to alarm me. He would even cry a little. I turned him over on his back to inspect him for fleas when I noticed he was very RED and even had welts/swelling!!!! It also seemed that he was cutting himself with his nails, so he had some sores/scabs. I planned to take him this morning, but he wasn't scratching as much and the redness was gone. This afternoon, I noticed he's been acting REALLY strange; just laying around, looking sad, running around in circles like he's lost. Then he started dry heaving and just 5 minutes ago he vomited a yellow, thick liquid. He hasn't eaten and I have not seen him drink any water. Everyday I take him walking also...if that's important... What could be wrong with him??? |

| It sounds like an allergic reaction to something. I would take him to the vet, ASAP. You don't want him dehydrated. |

| He could have gotten into some sort of chemicals that someone treated their yard with. It really sounds like he should be seen by a vet. If this odd behavior and vomiting continues, I would suggest the ER tonight.

| I would wash him immediately he could have some chemical on his skin and give him some kero syrup and some pepto Bismol. Than I would start getting him eating wet food chicken whatever and give him some water call vet |

| Can we give our furbabies Pepto Bismol? If so, how much? Once in a while Mr. Darcy will throw up - is fine before and after and it isn't repeated - does this happen to all dogs? I would not give him PB in these instances though.
