| Jada has a new symptom:( I have two other threads going about my two throwing up. Jada is running, barking at the door and acting normal except for one thing. In the last hour or so,if she is on the floor and the best I can explain it she is in a position where she looks like she is praying, her rear end is up in the air and she has her head resting on her front paws. I know I have read this somewhere and I can't find it. No more throwing up and she has normal poops. Oh and my vet and his whole office are at a horse show tonight I can get in touch with my DIL or SIL who are both vet techs for him, but I hate to bother them because they are both showing horses tonight, but I will if I have to.

| That is sometimes called a play bow, but it can happen with stomach and back pain. I'd assume that she is having abdominal pain since she has vomited. How many times did she vomit? What did you do to treat it?

| She vomited about 4 times yesterday with the last time being about 10:00pm last night. I have been giving her bismutol, which she was given to calm her when she had some diarrhea about 2 months ago. I called my vet office yesterday and they said that it should help calm her tummy down and it did. She hasn't thrown up today and I gave her pumpkin,rice and ground beef today. Last night she let out the biggest burp I have ever heard, in fact DH thought it was me. I wonder if it is just gas from her tummy being upset. She doesn't act like she is in pain when I press on her abdomen.

| First guess is a gas bubble in the intestines. Second guess would just be generalized pain. Third guess is pancreatitis. For what that's worth... Has it stopped?

| She isn't doing it as much, but her tummy does look a tad bloated and the name of the med I have been giving her is bismuthal not bismutol. She has an appetite and wants to eat, I have just been very cautious about giving her much today. I started to take her in this morning just as a precaution and now I wish I had, of course she didn't have this symptom this morning

| I so wish I could just diagnose her for you and tell you to give xyz, but... I mean, if it's gas, Gas-x or Mylecon can be given, but I can't say to do that... Pain drugs can be used to keep her comfortable. Again, can't tell you what to use. If the bloating continues, an xray will be needed. i'd say call one of the techs, but they should not be directing you to give drugs either, so that may not do much good. Sometimes ER vets will give adivce over the phone. You could try that. On very rare occasions, small dogs actually get gastric GDV (true bloat). the symptoms would almost certainly be much worse than this. But because it's still theoretcially possible that she is bloating up, that's a slight concern. If it has continued, I'd just call the ER and see if they will advise. But please don't be toooo worried.

| No, it is definitely not an emergency as long as it's getting better (or staying stable). If she is throwing up, trying to throw up and can't, looks "extremely" uncomfortable, etc., then that would indicate an emergency. I would call your vet if it hasn't stopped by 9 or 10 though. You can then get something in her to ease the pain.

| Thanks Amanda!! I believe I am just being a paranoid Momma, but you know how that is. I really think it is just this darn stomach bug she came down with yesterday and has since passed it to Bogie. He has thrown up about 4 times this evening and is now resting, which is exactly what Jada did yesterday. My vet will be at home in a little bit if I need him and he is one of my neighbors. It is good to know about the emergency vet though. Thanks
