OK so this can't be good. The vet said Jake did not vomit all day, yet he just threw up on the couch beside me! It smells medicinal, but how can he vomit with nothing in his stomache? I am sooo worried about my baby...

Well, I was happy to see he was at least home with you for the night, but I am seeing he just threw up.

Lane actually throws up if her stomach gets empty. If she eats dinner around 5:30 to 6:00 and then goes until morning without anything substantial (not counting "potty" cookies), she will often throw up just yellow bile looking stuff in the morning. I just started giving her a snack before bed time and now she is fine.

I think it could be possible that Jake is having the same thing happen if his little stomach is so empty. Also, just the stress of being transported home could have made him nauseas again, maybe?

I am no expert, but you know him best. If you really get concerned and/or he can't stop throwing up, I'd take him back to the ER vet.

I know it will be impossible, but try not to worry too much. I'm sure Jake is picking up on some of your anxiety. It is REALLY, REALLY, GOOD news that his bloodwork is normal, and all his vital organs are fine. I am still praying for all of you.

Toby will also throw up if he doesn't eat properly, the yellow foamy stuff, and he also gets sick when he gets really nervous or stressed out. I would think Jake might be a little stressed after all his little body has been through. I agree though, you know him best, and if you have any doubts I wouldn't hesitate to take him to the ER and get checked out. Prayers for all of you that things will be just fine. Please keep us posted.

Oh Ashley, as you can imagine, I am just worried sick. Tony is going to sleep on the floor with Jakie tonight because he usually sleeps up in the bed with us but we're worried about the catheter and well, at this point, he is too weak to stand. You're right though, the car ride may have made him nauseaous.

We're keeping Jake in our prayers and sending doggie kisses!

If it makes you feel any better, the catheter looks worse than it feels. When my previous dog went through chemo and was in and out of icu with complications related to one of the drugs, they would leave the catheter in and he never bothered it. Try to find comfort in the fact it just makes him look worse (especially if they shaved his little leg), than he really is. I'm so glad Tony will sleep on the floor with him tonight. I know that will make Jake and the whole family more comfortable. I hope Jake gets some much needed rest tonight, which will give him more strength to kick this tomorrow. Is he showing any interest in Willow?

Just another thing to think about, I have been so nauseous that even with a completely empty stomach I was throwing up nothingness. It can't be much different for dogs. Is he on any type of anti-nausea meds? Any idea when the vet will allow him to eat - you are right without any food to sustain himself he has to be very weak.

Lots of hugs and prayers your way.

Please give him all the extra love he can stand from us.

Oh Linda prayers to your little family! I know Jake will pull through, I just know he will. My heart goes out to you guys, you must be beside yourself with worry! Its such a helpless feeling when we can do nothing but give loves to them. Keep Jake close and warm tonight and I pray tomorrow brings some good news and no more vomitting! (((HUGS)))

abby2473 · 07-13-2009, 04:41 PM

Thanks again for your posts Ashley, it makes me feel so much better knowing people care and are out there routing for him. The vet asked that we keep Willow away and let Jake rest. He is still asleep beside me on the couch. He is too weak to do much else. I only hope and pray that we caught whatever this is in time......

Don't even entertain the thought. You absolutely did! Is this is first night at home? You might be amazed what a good night of rest at home can do for a pup who is re-cooperating. At the vet, there are the lights, the typical noise chatter, the dogs barking, etc. He is so young and a fighter. Your guard dog Jakie will be back protecting you, your hubby and Willow in no time at all.

I'm new here but so sorry to hear about your baby boy! I'm sure just being home with you sick is still better on him emotionally than being at the vet all night without you. My 9 and 10 years old yorkies have been overnight at the vets a couple of times and I always bring an old shirt I've slept in or worn so they can put it in their cage so they feel comforted, vet told me it's a good idea. take care..my prayers are with you!

Still thinking about your little guy. Here's hopeing that tomorrow is better than today. Sending hugs and kisses from Coco, Pebbles and Trixie
