| Mango is sick-please help!!! About an hour ago Mango started vomiting. It is a clear, bubbly fluid with a tinge of yellow. She vomited many times and the last time, started shaking when she was finished. I rushed her to the Vet immediately. I had to leave her there for a few hours for monitoring and testing. Her energy level since the last episode seems normal. I have no idea what caused this. Her diet consists of Evangers ALS kibble, mixed with Merrick Grammy Pot Pie (1 tsp mixed with the dry.) The only treats she ever gets are Honey Nut Cheerios, which I know to be safe. However, yesterday at a coffee shop a friend gave her a dog biscuit that he broke up into small pieces. She did eat a few. I don't know the brand. Could this possibly be the cause? Also, she had a long run in the garden yesterday, so maybe she ate bird/rabbit poop???? Her stomach is normal, poops are normal shape, not loose. I am going out of my mind with worry . PLEASE HELP. Any advice or suggestions would be much appreciated. I am sitting her waiting for the Vet to call and I don't know what else to do. Lauren

| There are probably 10 or 20 different things it could be. I hope it's nothing serious. When is the last time she had eaten before this episode?

| Your feeding very good foods so its not the food. The dog biscuit or if she ate rabbit poo could be upseting her stomach. I would feed her chicken and rice tonight and keep an eye on her. If the vomiting continues or she becomes listless then she needs to be seen by the et. Mine have on occasion had off days where they vomitted too

| Sounds like she has a tummy ache. Tiki has done this many times in the past, all was ok. Just like humans, they get little tummy problems now and again. No worries Lauren, I'm sure she will be fine... I would also suggest chicken and rice as it is easy on the tummy. Big hugs!!!!

Do you think chicken and rice is better than the low-residue dog foods a Vet usually suggests - I think the name is "Canine a/d" or something similar; my Spanky has had it before when sick with tummy problems. I am just so worried. Mango is a year old and has never been sick. Please tell me I am worrying for nothing. Lauren

| So, she's vomited how many times? It could just be something that she ate... Though the shaking is a bit concerning. I wish I had some better advise than to wait for the Vet to call... Im sorry

| The prescription foods are good also. I have never been able to get my yorkies to eat it though. My Vet always prescribes the prescription foods too and I told him they wouldnt eat it could I fix them chicken and rice and he said that would be fine

Yes, the past few days I've been around less here 'cause of Mom's visit. I was supposed to take her out for the day, but I am waiting here for the Vet's call, and when I bring her home, there is absolutely NO way I will let her out of my sight. Ek wil huil, Lauren

| I hope Mango is better soon. It is probably just an upset stomach, but it is best to have her checked, as you did. Boiled chicken and rice is definitely supposed to be good for them. Please let us know when you hear something. I will keep her in my thoughts! (hugs)
