They think she just has a bug and sent me home with a weeks worth of metrodanizole. The vomitting has stopped, but I haven't seen her go #2 since yesterday morning.
She still won't go outside to potty..in fact she hasn't really pottied at all since the vet visits. Anytime I grab the leash she hides. Maybe she is just afraid to be taken back to the vet...? I made her some boiled rice and she will eat that, but not her kibble. She's so confusing. I don't know if she's just being stubborn or afraid that her tummy will hurt if she eats her kibble.

Thanks for your suggestions and concern!

If you are feeding rice, don't expect much activity w/her bowels...rice binds up the stools...a couple of days w/o a stool, while on white rice, would not be unusual...I imagine, when you stop the rice, she'll go...Just give her whatever she'll eat for now, while she's healing...Most dogs get picky, when they're sick, and probably know what's best for their little tummys...
