The vet did bloodwork and everything came back pretty normal, except it did show that he was dehydrated, which is to be expected from what he's been through for the last 24 hours.

They also did an x-ray of him (I guess he was small enough to fit under the x-ray machine) and it didn't show anything unusual.

I'll keep you posted on what happens.

The vet gave him another shot of pepcid and cerenia along with a barium swallow (as she called it). She said if over the next day he was better, then it could've just been something bad he ate. If he doesn't get better, then they would do another x-ray and see if the barium moved any in his system. If it didn't, then he probably has a blockage somewhere.

Right now he is sleeping on the couch. From what i've seen today, he seems pretty normal, except he maybe isn't as chipper as normal. Plus he is burping a lot.

And yes, he did vomit up the pupperonni. I found the evidence in my room when I got home.

Yes, i agree pupperonni is horrible for them. Most anything is bad, except for their dog food. Unfortunately, the people I live with don't think about such things. I'm sure they will when they find out how much this has all cost me so far.

i don't really understand some people. hello! Why would they give him a greasy, fatty snack after an episode like this is beyond me. About time for some education on what a dog should and should not eat.

hopefully he will be alright and whatever is bugging him will pass. Please pray that it will and that he doesn't have to have surgery or anything drastic!
