Hi I am new here and very concerned about Rascal, he began dry heaving about 4:30 this morning. Refused to eat, but tried to drink a ton of water and off course no more dry heaves. Lots of watery brown colored vomit. I call the vet and because he closes at noon on Sat. he gave me the option of taking him to the the vets and leaving him for the weekend or keep him home and only let him have ice chips for the next 12 to 24 hours. Every time he has some tiny bits of chipped ice with in 30 minutes he throw up again. There appears to be some tiny specks of brown in the vomit. I took him outside on a leash to prevent him from eating grass, and guess what he now has diarrhea. How long should continue to just give him chipped ice? The emergency vet here is absolutely horrid. Do you think he will be alright til Monday Morning. I am really worried about him. does anyone have any suggestions. Oh I forgot to mention that he was at the vets yesterday for his annual check up which he passed.
