Horrible Day.... Posted: 04-20-06 14:37pm
Last night at like 8, my pitt started to
vomit. We thought she simply had eaten
too fast and then laid down and she had
refluxed it. Well last night, again, at
about 10 she started vomiting again. We
thought for sure it was over. Well at
midnight, she started again. Then again
at 2, 4, 6, &8 .A.M. I got a combined
total of 2 hours of sleep. My .Fiance has
to be awake for 4:45 .A.M to be at work
for 5:30. So basically he got up once and
dealt with the vomit, but I was left with
the duty for the rest of the night. It
wouldn't have been soo bad if it weren't
for the smell.
My bulldog was freaking out because the
pitt would just open her eyes and
vomit...She wouldn't gag or anything.
Finally I couldn't take it anymore so I
went and chained them both up outside. It
was 3 :30 when I did that so at 4:30 they
were off. From 8 this morning till about
and hour ago she was fine. Now she's
vomiting again.
I know she's dehydrated but we cannot
allow her to eat or drink anything. She's
been sneaking water today and that's why
she's getting sick again. I gave her a
teaspoon on .Pepto .Bismol (recommended by
the vet) and she was fine until just now.
I'm sooo sorry for this really long post,
I am just worn out and tired of washing
everything she's vomited on!!! It's a
grim peak at what lies ahead for me being
so claose to delivering my 1st child.
Hopefully my baby won't have reflux and
start vomiting like my pup!! I think i'd
have an emotional breakdown!! Lol...Naah
I just need some sleep!!

Aww,i'm sorry.My pitt does this thing
sometimes where she makes this hawking
sound like she's hollow and then really
hacks something up and it's usually
yellow,ans I don't know why she does
it/she wont let me near her while she's
doing it either,she runs under my bed.I
took her to the vet and they gave me some
meds but she still did it after they were
all gone but only every once in a while.I
dunno what it is

The vet told me she could consume nothing
but ice cubes. The last thing I want is
for her to vomit all over the place again.
:?
I thought her vomit would eventually turn
yellow because I know that's bile and it
would end soon. Nothing. It always looks
like pureed dog food and saliva.
Seriously, it's disgusting!! Lol...
I'm kinda glad it's not bile because I
know how friggen nasty that is. I think
she may have eaten a frog or lizard last
night or yesterday. She's sleeping now,
poor baby, cuz I know she feels horrible.
I yelled at her today really loud because
she got on my bed and wouldn't come off.
No sooner did I stop yelling did she hurl
all over my bed.
Normally, she's a very obidient dog and
listens very well, not when she's sick!!
Lol...
Normally, if me and my .Fiance get into an
argument as soon as our voices start
getting loud she runs under the bed and
won't come out unless the bulldog goes
gets her!

I am so sorry about your pup hun, I know
how irritating that can be. Our min pin
whenever she gets scared goes on our bed
and pukes. It's really weird. I don't
know why that is. Now if shawn and I are
arguing she runs under the bed and we have
to move the bed to get her out.
I am sorry you just can't rest today.

Baby magic, I am soo sorry to hear about
your pitt (your babby). Sandra lynn might
be right, has she been tested for parvo?
Do you have any enemies around that might
have tried to poison her, what aabout the
bird flue, how is her color of her eyes
and tongue? I am no vet but it soundss
like she night need on an .I.V. And this
can be done at home. I certainly hopes
she gets better! I have .Irish
wolfhounds and I know that sometines their
tummies get twistedand it generally takes
surgery. I do hope you get some answers
soon!
The best to you all and your pup!
Keep us posted!

Bad day... Join the club, sweetheart.
Sorry about your puppy, though. I don't
want to get too gross with this, but does
the vomit sort of smell like poo? My dog
ate poo (like lots of dogs do) once and
then vomited it up for a couple of days.
If that is the case, he should be checked
for heartworms unless you have him on
preventive medicine.

She's not really a pup anymore..Lol..So
that sort of rules the parvo out. None of
our neighbors would do that...They're all
old people!! Lol...
My mom looked up a bunch of stuff on the
internet and came across something that
caught my attention. She's been having
really bad ear infections lately. She
only seems to vomit when she get up from
sleeping. Her equilibrium is prob.
Throwed. But we're not ruling out the
fact that she could've eaten a frog or
lizard.
Her vomit smells like her dog food even
though it's been about 20 hours since
she's eaten. What we're doing is giving
her digestive system a break, and if she
doesn't vomit for at least 6 hours, we'll
start letting her have water.
Thank yall sooo much for yalls opinions!!!
It helps a lot!!!
