| I am scared roo threw up sticks (b/c he won't tlet you take them from him, he just swallows) twice today, and now he just lays around and barely eats and is just blah. I don't know if he is just not feeling well from throwing up or if his throat may be sore or what. But I am just scared and need to make sure he is going to be okay. What do you guys think |

| Please consider calling the vet first thing in the morning. If Roo isn't eating and is vomiting, he might have some issues related to swallowing the sticks. If a piece of stick got turned the wrong way he might have an obstruction. |

| Do you have an emergency vet? Throwing up and lethargy after swallowing sticks is not a good sign. As Chattiesmom said, it could be an obstruction. Hopefully it is just an upset stomach though. Is he pooping? I would call a vet immediately.

| I wouldn't take any chances and go to the vet first thing in the morning, especially if he is normally an active puppy. |

| Great that you're calling and great that he pooped. He probably isn't obstructed then but since sticks are sharp, I would still be very concerned.

| I hope Roo is ok. I worry about the sticks hurting him internally. definately call your vet first thing in the morning.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I hope Roo is ok. Is there a way to keep him away from the sticks or are they outside where he goes? I know Roxie picks up things outside so fast!

Patti, the best option is to train them to "drop it" or to freeze when they hear "STOP". With the yorkies it is a bit harder, but it can be done. | |

| Hey guys, there is good news I cancelled the vet app. b/c roo is back to normal ad they said they wouldn't do anything... We think that he was dehydrated becasue of throwing up and not drinking a whole lot. So that is really good and now we arre just trying different things to make him drink his water. Thank you for the support and prayers for Roo |
