| Need some advise - Annika is feeling under the weather and has been throwing up It started last night on our last leg heading back home. There was a maintenance problem at the cockpit so there was some delay. We have been in our seat for about 20 minutes and suddenly without warning she barfed some white muccus and a bit of red came out . . .luckily I had some napkins but had to ask the FA for additional napkins for clean-up. The rest of the flight she was shivering slightly so I got her out of her bag and held her all the way till we landed . . . she seemed fine after that and no problems all night long . .she was her usual self. This morning, she gobbled up all of her food but 15 minutes later threw up everything . . .oberving her you would not think her sick as she is still her usual self. She had an appointment at the vet for her annual vaccine and nothing was found, just perfect health although prior to leaving she threw up again - white some clear water with a few stuff in it - looks like leftover from this morning's meal . . .back home everything looks normal AGAIN until 15 minutes ago, she threw up again . . well I actually gave a very small piece of the joints chew that came in the Yorkie bag I got from the meet . . .so I think that was what came out. I would appreciate if anyone can give advise or perhaps some idea of what food to give her temporarily until she stops vomiting I am starting to be concerned at what could be wrong with her . . . |

| Oh sorry, maybe she just picked up something from the flight and it will pass in a day or two. I'd maybe do the rice and chicken diet for the next couple of days. big hugs and prayers coming your way. Feel better soon Annika.

| Aww poor Annika - she's probably a little stressed from traveling and all the excitement at the meet. I agree... chicken & rice or baby food would be good. Her tummy is probably sore after vomiting (like ours get) so some bland (?)/soft food should help settle it. But if she's still vomiting tomorrow I'd call Vet. Is she drinking ok? If not - try some plain Pedyalite. Hope she feels better Des.

| I am so sorry Annika is ill. We had so much fun meeting you both, we don't want the trip memory to be marred by a sick little girl. You might want to withhold food for awhile and let her tummy rest - check with your vet about this. When Bubba had an upset tummy we started him on low sodium chicken broth until everything got under control - my holistic vet said this cna be very helpful for even dogs

| If she is throwing up after every meal I would be concerned about pancreatitis or an obstruction. Is she pooping? You could withhold food and then start again with mashed potatoes (no butter or anything) or plain yogurt.

| Well I will add to the advice to give her bland chicken, like boiled, shredded and plain white rice. I would wait and give her tummy time to settle though. I see that someone asked if she is going to the potty ok, that's important! She just might be out of sorts from the trip and all the excitement. You could check with the vet and see if they think it's ok to giver a little pepto bismal, but you want to make sure nothing else is going on! I hope she feels better soon!!

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Poor baby. Hopefully it is just a combination of stress and maybe a new treat she wasn't use to. Maybe the veyt can give you something to settle her tummy.

| Sorry to see Annika is a bit under the weather. Perhaps the trip upset her stomach a bit. I would give her a 1/4 tablet (crushed) of pepto bismol to settle the stomach. It won't hurt her. I hope she's feeling better today. |
