And it was almost continuous..not just a couple of times...it was clear, foamy stuff. Of course it was after hours on a Friday night, so off I went to the emergency clinic where they eventually said he had pancreatitis and wanted to keep him overnight (for an outrageous fee...I don't recall exactly how much but it was something like $1700 and then I had to pick him up by 7 am the next morning to take him to my normal vet to stay over the weekend with an IV and antibiotics.....I couldn't afford to leave him there b/c my husband had the credit card and would be home the next morning but I couldn't even reach him b/c of all things, his cellphone battery hadn't been charged and was dead....what a nightmare. But I will tell you that I took Max home for the night and kept him right next to me (did not give him ANYTHING to eat) and got him to my vet (funny thing..basically the same people who staff the emergency clinic) first thing on Sat. morning and he stayed there all weekend....Monday he was fine...they put him on a prescription diet (Hill's W/D) and we haven't had one single little problem in any way, shape or form since then, THANK GOD!!! I say, just keep him with you at home overnight, make sure he's hydrated (Pedialyte is a good thing to keep on hand) and get him to the vet asap in the morning. Please let us know how he's doing.....we used to let Max have boiled chicken all the time when we went out to dinner....they get over it kind of, so don't feel bad if he has to be on a special diet. Best wishes to you and your baby!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the suggestion! That's pretty much what we're doing now. I'll be at school tomorrow morning, so my dad will take him to the vet. I think he'll be okay for now.
