I have her on Hill's LD canned dog good, have order the Royal Canine LD 14 nibbles but it has not come in yet. She gets a little apple and watermelon a day. She is on Amoxicillin 1.2 ml twice a day, She gets Lactalose 1 ml three times per day and two liver supplements-- (Liquid Hepato) 2 drops per day Vetri Liquid DMG- 1/2 syringe daily. I am planning on taking her back to vet after her 20 week birthday and get her bile tests done(pre and post).

Last night finally got to work on her hair. I have worked with her almost daily on brushing, working with her nails, feet, ears, eyes, etc...but she is SUCH a biter. I do not think I have very much skin left on my hands (she thinks they are chew toys) I have ordered some of that Bio Groom Conditioner and a new brush, but last night tired I found I walmart...Just For Me (2-1 Conditioning Detangler) It made her hair much softer, was able to brush it well. Still have to do some touch up work around the bottom area...but it did go well.

Finally---I thought...oh no...last night around 10 pm she started running around acting like she had something caught in her throat. I called my son and we held her and opened her mouth..she had ? small stick stuck sideways. My son tried to pull it out while I held her and it broke and Tadum swallowed it. She was fine after that and ate and drank. Well, around 4 am, she vomited and appeared that she was in pain when I touched her stomach...I panicked...it has been a long morning, but she is now up & active --has had two bowel movements and urinated. She urinated on the floor which is her first accident in almost 2 weeks. So hope all continues good today.

I have to leave her on Thursday for the weekend. I am going out of town with husband and friends and the place that we are staying is not pet friendly..Can you believe that? My mom and step dad are going to take care of her, but I am stressing.

Thanks again for everyone caring...It truly means alot
what kind of stick as these can splinter - i think i would have her checked out if she is vomitting - was there blood in the vomit ? I would have her checked before you leave town

you may want to start a new thread for this and get others take that have dealt with this as vomitting after something like this scares me

did the stick come out in her bowel movement did you see? This is something i really would not mess with and would have an xray done as this has me concerned but do another thread and see if others can give you advice that have gone through it - i would title it swallowed a stick or twig
