Hi my golden doodle was sick all night. Just fecal matter as far as I know. She kept asking to go outside all night. I thought she would be good today after getting it all out last night. I came home form work and there was fecal everywhere, mostly liquid and vomit. Most of the vomit looked normal. Food etc. I looked at it more closely and found some huge clumps of rope. Well I cleaned it all up, figured she was ok again because she hasn't vomitted or thrown up since I have been home. Well I noticed a clear slippery liquid saturating her beard, so I opened her mouth and saw the film all around her mouth. Its not foamy, just clear and slippery. As soon as i let her close her mouth she vomitted some of the clear liquid. Maybe from her tongue gagging her. I also noticed she is not drinking water like normal. Ya know, aggressive tongue lapping. She's just lazily trying to get it in her mouth. Any advice would be very helpful. I will end up at a vet for sure if it is not better tomorrow. But they are all closed now, and the emergency clinic is very expensive

Thanks,
Cullen and Juneau

I would guess that she ate a rope toy since you found rope and she might have a blockage which means you need to get to a vet ASAP. With blockages, waiting until tomorrow because the E-vet is too expensive might be too late.

Yea I know :-( all of her rope toys are in tact. Maybe somebody threw something over the fence. I assume it was a rope. It was very strange feeling and all messed up from being in her stomach. Are there any other symptoms I can look for that would indicate blockage

Not eating...drooling....a visibly pulsating abdomen

please see a vet asap...I lost my Dobe to intestinal blockage (he ate a sock)

her abdomen isn't pulsing at all. It feels fine Not tight, not bloated. she's just sleeping now breathing normal. the white film isn't seeping out her mouth anymore. of course I will take her to the vet as soon as I can, but I'm not blessed with money right now. thanks for all responses

if you have pets its always good to have an emergency fund .....ether a savings account or a credit card put away...they even have a care credit card just for pets....something to think about in the future
