Poor Charlie! I hope the vet can give him some relief today, and give you some answers.

Has he been doing okay with his bladder? I read that he a recent infection.

When it comes to tummy problems, I often think of pacreatitis first. Pancreatitis can be ruled out with a blood test called cPL.

My Teddy recently had a strange episode that we think started with a hornet/wasp sting. First he appeared to have stomach cramps. Then we found where he has been stung. In the meantime, I had bathed the lower half of his body in a new shampoo. He broke out in a few hives on that part of his body. Odd things do happen, so maybe there is some correlation between Charlie's rash and tummy upset.

You asked about the licking of grass where other animals have urinated: there is a risk of leptovirus contact that way. Not common, but it's there.

Praying for Charlie. Please keep us updated.
