| Is there a stomach virus going around? Saturday Molli was running around fine then fell asleep and when she woke up started puking. She continued to throw up, couldn't hold down food or water. Took her to the vet- they tested her for pancreatitis which came out very low positive and all other tests negative (no worms or giardia). I was going to take her to work in the morning to get re-evaluated and now Chibi is throwing up! They both ate gastro intestinal lowfat per vet recommendation today and for the last 4 days have been transitioning on to science diet (ran out of canine caviar again). I can't think of anything that could be causing this. They both are on restricted diets due to Chibi's sensitive stomach. Any ideas??? They have never both been sick like this. -so far only symptom is vomiting, no diarrhea or anything else.

| Did they eat canine caviar when they both got sick? Turbo got sick once & he threw up all over the place but his stool was nice & firm. I was going to take him in the next morning but he was fine, no more throw up & he kept down the white rice & salmon I cooked for him in the morning. He started eating his usu food (canine caviar & party animal canned food) for dinner & he was fine. I have no idea what caused his tummy upset.

| I don't know about a flu bug going around with dogs, but man did I catch something on Friday. I am not normally bothered the flu, but would not feel very good about a little pup getting sick like that. Lexi was my little trooper though. Stayed right along side me in bed. Such a sweetie. Hope they are better soon. |

| we were running low on c.c. and I knew my shipment wouldn't come in on time (I have to order it online) so I got science diet and started mixing it about 4 days ago. They were fine until Saturday. I thought Molli just got into something (shes been known to do that) but Chibi hasn't had any issues in ages and he is my sensitive one who is usually sick right away. Molli threw up again just now the little bit of food I let her have a couple hours ago, it was mostly undigested. She hasn't been able to hold down food for 2 days now.

| I wish I didn't have to switch but because I have to order c.c. online I have been having trouble making sure the next bag is here before I run out. I guess the food is the only thing that makes sense but I don't know why I didn't see sickness when I first started switching. It also weird because Chibi threw up after he ate the gastrointestinal low fat, he had no sickness when switching to science diet. I'm taking them both to the vet again today so we will see what they say.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I hope they both feel better soon. It breaks your heart when they can't eat and they don't understand why.

| the cpl was low positive, they sent out a health check too. Today they are feeling a bit better, still not 100% but no vomiting and they were both able to hold down a bit of food and water. I think I will just have to make sure I order their food early so I never run out. Canine Caviar seems to be the only thing they can eat which is fine but I wish they sold it in stores, even a specialty store would be fine.

YT 2000 Club Member | I know my girls are very sensitive to a food switch. I, too ran out of food and had to spread it out over a 3 day period, so I added some boiled chicken to their dry kibble. Tatiana got gas really bad! She is very sensitive to chicken! I always suspected it was the chicken but didn't know for sure until I did this. They are on a lamb grain/potato free kibble which I have to order online. I know know to order a couple weeks in advance, so I don't run out! I hope they are feeling better!

| Kiki has been doing the same thing today. We woke up to her throwing up this morning. The only thing she had different was Teddy Grahams last night she stole one and was given about half of the head of one. She is known for having a sensitive stomach. She has thrown up 7 times day that I am aware of. She has pooped twice today solid stools. She doesn't act like she feels bad she still tries to play. She is still eating. I haven't taken her dry kibble away yet but she did just eat some before laying down. I tried boiled chicken to settle her stomach before lunch but it was unsuccessful. I'm hoping it was just a bug or something and we are over it. If not we will be waiting on the vet door step first thing. Any advice for getting thru the night if need be would be appreciated

| She hasn't been sick since. I guess it was a bug. I'm so glad she is over whatever it was. Thank you.
