Poor Grayson, this sounds so much like what I went through with Gracie back in early November. She started vomiting about 5:30 am and vomited 8 or 10 times by 7:30. I called in sick to work and carried her to the vet. They kept her all day and gave her meds and fluids by IV and I was able to pick her up just before they closed at 6 pm. The vet said that it was acute pancreatitis and that she should not have any food or drink for the rest of the night. They pumped her full of fluid just before I picked her up. Next morning I was to feed her Purina EN (a prescription diet) 1 Tblspn every 2 hours and give her meds as prescribed. She had antibiotics, acid meds and nausea meds. I stayed out of work with her for three days. She refused to eat the EN after the first day so I did the boiled chicken and rice thing which she ate. I am really careful now not to give her treats and keep her on a very low fat diet. Our vet and all the info that I have read says that once a dog has had pancreatitis it is easier for it to happen again if diet is not controlled. Anyway, I hope this is not what Grayson had and he is all better soon.
