I posted a few days ago about my dog vomiting but got no response. I hope that updating the situation might get a few hits.
My dog, Yahtzee, is about 11 months old. She's a lab/chow mix, 60lbs. On Wednesday, around noon time, she started vomiting. She threw up about 8 separate times, somewhere between 2-4 times on an occasion. We called the vet who told us we should bring her in to get checked out. When we did that, he gave her a shot to calm her stomach and provided some prescription dog food to give her in the morning and we were told to fast her for the night.
In the morning, Yahtzee didn't want to eat. She drank a little bit of water, then stopped. She started drooling excessively. In the morning, she had a very small bowel movement with mucous in it. We called the vet again. He told us to bring her in again to get looked at. He checked her stomach and said that she doesn't have any pain there. We were given some anti-vomiting medications along with an antibiotic and told to keep an eye on her.
This morning, day 3, we get up and she's still not feeling well. She's been pretty lethargic all day until the afternoon with the exception of trying to chase down a bunny this morning, nearly ripping my arm off. She stopped drooling, started drinking and eating again, and even got a small bowel movement out tonight. She was walking up and down the steps with me and even went to sit on the front porch to watch the birds, which is a typical behavior (the first one in 3 days!). She ate some boiled chicken and even some of the prescription dog food around lunch time.
Things seemed to be improving, but fast forward to about 4pm. She's drooling again, refusing food, but is drinking water still. I took her out to see if she would go poo because she hadn't since Yesterday morning. She'd been struggling to go all day, but I could tell she wanted to. She managed another small one with a lot of mucous in it. It was also dark in color.
She doesn't seem to be in any pain, but she looks miserable. She puts her ears back and just lays on her bed with those "puppy dog eyes."
Anyone have any suggestions about what to do for her tonight? The vet is closed for the weekend.
