| Reece is sick and I am on my way to work!! Poor Reece went to the groomer today along with my other two...when I picked him up she said "you know he is really sick dont you?" I was dumbfounded...she said he has diarreah and is throwing up (he is not scared of my groomer and has been there many times) in the van he went all over my daughter (gross I know) and it is JUST like water...I picked up ground beef and mixed it with cooked rice..gave him some Pepto (how much should I give him?) and layed down some newspaper in his crate with a blanket and the food...he is UTD on all shots and heartworm and cant think of anything he could have gotten into..step kids were here all weekend and I hope they didnt give him something he shouldnt have..I am just on my way out the door to go to work...any other suggestions that will stop the diarreah..he isnt vomiting at all anymore and hasnt since I picked him up 2 hours ago...

| NOw that my babies are older, I don't worry much about them when they go through this phase, as long as it is no more than a day or two. Most likely he ate something and his system is rejecting it (which is good) . . . Just monitor him to make sure it does not get any worse. |

| Keep an eye on him and give him a bit of live yogurt, its digestive enzymes will restore the good bacteria in his gut and help him fight whatever the problem is. |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Poor honey! Is he any better? You could give some Pedialyte to help give him some energy and hydration. I hope he is feeling better.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I would suspect the kids giving him table food. As long as he doesn't get dehydrated.

| Ahhh...poor baby. I hope he's feeling better by morning. Maybe he ate something out in the yard. Maddie and Libby are always chewing on something it seems, and oftentimes, get tummy upsets. Get well wishes to Reece! It's so hard to see them sick. Hugs to you!

| The only thing I can think of is the litter box..he tends to pick out little eww morsels..its an automatic litter box so sometimes he dosent get too lucky..but he has been really good leaving that alone the past few weeks..maybe something in the yard..I just dont know...he is a bit under the weather looking..like a kid with the flu...he feels better for a while..wants to eat and drink and then hes sick again...up and down...his poo is still water and he is dry heaving a bit...right now he is resting comfortably...I hate to see my poor baby this way...
