I'm taking them to the vet tomorrow. I'm just getting ready to post about it. and I want to thank Anna for reminding me it might be stones. I been watching him close. and most of the time hes his play full happy self.
On 3/29/07 one of them had the poops bad, I woke up to a mess, but not knowing witch one and I kept and eye on them both , but neither one had the poop problem and more.
On 3/30/07 Mickey started throwing up, what looked like dog food, Then I looked at Minnie and she was also throwing up but hers looked like blood. I was cleaning it all up and didnt think to save it. But I did dig some paper towels back out of the trash with what I thought to be blood and bagged it. but with in an hour they both seemed fine but I still thought it looked and smelled like blood, hubby said he bet it was the red jello the baby tossed off her tray and Minnie ate it, But It was to much to be that an dthat happened the day before. they both seemed fine. I had been feeding them both chicken, rice, hamburgar and cottagecheese sense the food recall. well I ran out and it was to late to cook some more up so I decided to give them some of their dry dog food, well with in 20 minutes of Mickey eating the dry. he looked like he had to poop but was constipated. and then peed in front of my couch. he never pees there. then he seemed fine, Minnie didnt eat any dry food and she still seems fine.I kept thinking it was the food , because of all the food recalls. well someone pointed out to me that it may be stones.
4/5/07
Hes not peeing much neither of them are. Their pee pads are clean. and I put them fresh ones down last night, so Id know how often they are going. nothing. but they do go out and do their business out side a few times a day too.
Anna's post made me stop thinking more about the food recalls and more on the stones,so thank you for that. I guess it was just coincidence it all started about the same time as they ate their dry food.
what I noticed today and yesterday.
Mickey is not constipated but is straining to pee,
He does not pee often, but when he does it looks more like hes trying to poop , hes straining.
There's no blood in his urine.
He dribbles pee for a few minutes then he goes.
hes not drinking water much and he always drinks his water.
peeing in unusual places, right in front of me in front of the couch, that's the only place I have seen him try to go, and he never goes there.
Licking his privates a lot.
whined onne while trying to pee and when he was done ran in the corner and was shaking.
I took him out on the porch because I know he always trys to mark out side. I blocked the porch off keeping him on the porch where the light is so I could see him pee. He marked 3 times nothing two of the times ten dribbled the third. Then he went to the side of the porch and strained and peed a bunch. so it must be blockage.
I read this website and I do think its in his Urethral

Hubby to knows now he must be checked and prob surgery.
I don't know how they will do this because I'm broke, I do have a credit card.and will use it, but I know it will go over the amount, most vets here will not do any thing with out the money being down first. I know I had a doberman that died of a heart attack because the vets would not take her in . But I will be taking him in tomorrow and ill update you all when I can.
So please keep him in your thoughts and prayers, Im so scared for him. Pray for Minnie too cause im taking her in too.
