| I'm freaking out a little Rocco has had diarrhea since last night - mostly watery and some pudding-type. He chewed a pencil Monday night, threw up twice immediately and then had loose stools Tuesday a.m. into Wed. night. Yesterday morning (Thursday), he did an almost normal poop but started with the liquid last night. Went to vet this morning, who said he should be fine, gave me kaopectate-type med and 2 cans Purina EN (GE food). He said it should take 2-3 days to go away. Rocco is acting normal in every other way, but he's been pooping liquid, sometimes every 1/2 hour. I'm freaking out a bit thinking the pencil could be hurting his insides...any input???

Donating YT 30K Club Member | can you take him to an ER vet. He could get dehydrated going so often. Do you think the new food the vet gave you may be upsetting his tummy? I hope he gets better soon.

| Did your vet take xrays to rule out any pieces of the pencil being in his digestive tract? |

| Does his tummy look bloated at all? Is he drinking and eating normally?

I've been checking his belly since Monday; it's not distended, is palpable and not painful when I touch it. The vet confirmed same yesterday and was not concerned.
