Just got back from the vet. They did a stool sample to check for bacteria overgrowth, checked his temperature and listened to his lungs, stomach and heart. They said the stool sample showed he had an overgrowth of some kind of bacteria that we normally have in our stools. They said an overgrowth of it would trigger the vomiting and diarrhea. She said it could have been triggered by stress of possibly eating something he wasn't supposed to. But more than likely it was the stress since he's an inside dog and I cook for him. She put him on an antibiotic for 6 days and said he should progressively get better daily. I sure hope so. I hate to see him sick and not feeling up to par. He's such a big baby anyway and just soaks up the loving. Of course I don't mind at all.......that's the reason I got him was to spoil him and baby him. Please keep him in your prayers for me though, I want him better........YESTERDAY, if you know what I mean! It won't happen soon enough.
