And while I'm sure it's not this, that's what happened to Ellie when she had pancreatitis. It only lasted a day though. She would eat and throw up after, but she acted perfectly normal.

I was SO scared it was a blockage, pancreatitis, or liver shunt, and I asked specifically about each of them. The vet really thinks it's just a tummy upset, which I'm so thankful for.

How is the little guy doing???? I'd love to see some updated photos....

Could defintely be a virus...speaking of the little guy, he's got a cold too, so who knows what he brings home? I will have to post some new pics. He is getting SO big SO quickly!

She's doing ok now. She's been kind of a bully to Emma since we got home, but I think maybe the reglan made her feel icky and she didn't want Emma up in her face? She told Emma off a couple times and Emma hid under the bed, poor girl! I keep telling her that she is 2 pounds bigger than Milli and should tell her what's up but you know Emma. Milli is sleeping in her napsak and Emma is by my feet now-I'm thinking separation is best for them right now, silly girls!

A vet on our maltese group her dog got pancreatitis from a grub he ate outside so once they have it anything can set them off and this breed is really prone to pancreatitis naturally as i believe they have a high amount of fat in their blood already and why my boy has high triglycerides which leads them very susceptible so diet is real important in this breed.

Okay, that makes sense. The cheerios didn't cause pancreatitis but could set it off..

She eats a homecooked diet, so I switched to a bland diet-banana & cheerios, and she threw that up. Then I gave her nothing but she started eating off Emma's plate, so I caved and gave her cheerios-which she later puked up again. DH said she was better, so I made an appointment for the AM anyway, but fed her dinner around 6 pm hoping he was right. She just threw up again.

Any thoughts? I hope it's just a tummy bug...but I'm scared.

what type of food she was eating before this started; my dog has gastritis too and i had to take her to the hospital few weeks ago for throwing up blood; it gets really bad and fast with her; so she was on chicken, rice and baby food for a while; and now i am transition her to the honest kitchen food; so far so good; good luck
