I'm currently next down the street next to a vet hospital so I feel comfortable having her relaxing here and eating her bully stick.

When I took her outside to see if she would poop she was eating a bunc of grass. From what I under stand grass = fiber so I guess she wants to poop.

Also hopefully there isn't a next time. But if I need to induce vomiting what is the best way? A finger to the throat? Thanks everyone for your advice.
It is hard to measure BP in dogs under 15 pounds. How is she maintaining an accurate BP check on this pup? Does she know normal systolic/diastolic rates in canines? Blood pressure monitoring - VetInfo Here is a link on BP info in measuring BP in canines.
