I would rather be safe than sorry and my gut is telling me that this is just not a normal tummy ache. Wish it were sooner but that was the first available and living in a foreign country means that we sometimes have to abide by different rules and expectations. |
Even her regular diet could possibly cause a blockage, especially if they run around and play after they eat, or if they eat too fast. Gas can also make them vomit. If you position her so she's standing on her hind legs, front feet up it can help any gas to come out, if she's still uncomfortable. I had read an article about it somewhere before it happened to mine (if that is what is wrong). Now I carry her upright after each meal when I put her out to go potty... 95% of the time she burps before we get to the door.
