Please help....sick Puppy My dog has been vomiting since 5:30 this morning. About 1 every hour or so. The last time he threw up anything was at 9:30 & it was the pepto bismol I gave him. Since then he has dry heaves twice. He refused to drink or eat anything. He tries to lay & sleep but get these shivers. I just gave him a bit of karo syrup on my finger. The shakes are what are really concerning me & this is the first time he's ever refused food. I tried given him his normal food & rice & chicken, but he just turns his nose up. I would rush him to my vet, but i'm 5 hours away at my in-laws. We are planning on going home today, but not until 4. I'm just beside myself with worry. Any help would be appreciated. He may have eaten any number of things yesterday. Everyone was feeding him & wouldn't listen to me what i said he's had enough. He may have ingested some onion, but i don't see any yellowing of his eyes or gums & he doesn't seem to have a fever & his eyes are bright just sad. He may also been exposed to some poisettia milk. I will anxiously await any help so if you have questions just ask. |
additional information: Logan is 2.5 years old & 12.5 pounds. He does not not normally have a sensitive stomach. |
I would take him in to a vet, any vet now. You have no idea if he ate toxic substances or not, the best treatment for poisoning is fast treatment so there is no other answer to this. Good luck |
I would take him to a vet there near you in laws. My dog was sick once vomiting and I waited just 2 hours to take her to the vet and she almost died. If I had waited just another 30 min-hour, she wouldn't have made it. But she was a lot smaller than yours. I hope your baby is ok...:( |
I agree with the others. If there is even a chance he could have gotten into anything toxic, you must get him to a vet asap. I'd also be worried about pancreatitis if people have been feeding him rich, fatty foods. That also can be life threatening. |
Update: I called my vet on her cell phone on sunday & she told me that if it was poisoning he would be getting worse not bettter. She figured a blockage or just something that made him sick. She told me to force water into him. If he kept the water down it was a partial blockage or just an upset stomach. He did keep the water down & shortly after he started to show an interest in food so I gave him some rice & he ate that very well. He slept all the way home & then ate more rice once we got home. The next morning he was back to his normal self. He pooped & ate like normal & just spend the day resting. It was a very tramatic day for me, but everything turned out okay. From now on no more people food, period; and he might get to stay with my mom the next time we go visit the in-laws. |
I'm so glad it wasn't anything serious and he's feeling better now! |
I am just now seeing this and want to send my best to Logan. I'm glad he's doing better! Isn't it just awful to see them sick like that??? |

Relapse: This morning Logan work up & demanded to go to potty; He had a hard time pooping, but finally got a little out. Since he has refused to eat his breakfast & asked to be taken out to potty 3 times. His stomach is very hard; I would imagine it's constipation or some kinda blockage. I called the vet first thing & my husband is on the way there now as we speak. Please keep your fingers crossed that it's nothing more serious then constipation. thanks, |
:eek: Poor baby! Just saw your thread and was reading & thinking ... thank God everything turned out OK! I will be praying that everything is alright ... please update as soon as you hear!? |
I sure hope Logan is alright. I always have to put my babies up if I have family out for meals (which isn't often), because they never listen and want to feed them off the table. They do this with their dog (rat terrier). I just can't trust them to do as I ask. I'll keep checking for updates....feel better soon Logan!!! |
I'm glad your are taking him to the vet. Keep us posted. |
Just heard back from my husband....the tests for pancreatitis came back negative, so it's not that....thank goodness. Now the doctor thinks it's either a foreign object or something he's having trouble passing. My husband called to see i wanted to do an x-ray. I told him to ask the vet what the vet would do if it was his dog. Logan has never been one to swallow rocks or little toys, he is totally a food dog. I asked my husband to ask the vet if there was something he could give him to help him pass whatever it is he's trying to pass & then if he doesn't pass it then we'll bring him in for x-rays tomorrow. Is there anything else it might be that I should check into? I will let you all know when I know more.....thanks for the support. |
