I hate it when Bailey isn't feeling well...which is not too often, luckily. But he is sick right now and I could really use some advice. Monday night, he started pacing back and forth and crying to go outside (not normal for him)...I took him out and he had a really loose stool. That day, he had more treats than normal (he had an early dinner and my little cousin was doing training with him later at night and I think gave him more treats than he normally gets) so I thought that was why. Then, Tuesday morning he woke me up crying, and then threw up some yellow-ish bile type liquid a couple of times, and had another loose stool. I worked from home so I could keep an eye on him. I cooked him some boiled chicken and rice and fed it to him in four small meals through out the day (less food than he usually gets though). I mixed in some probiotics with the food and also gave him pepcid AC. He had, I think, four loose stools through the day yesterday. Other than that, he was acting fine...active and playful, pretty normal and didnt throw up again the whole day.
Last night again, he woke me up a few times...he threw up yellowish liquid three times over the night and this morning and had a couple more loose, liquidy stools. This morning he is much quieter, not like his normal self. I again cooked him some boiled chicken and rice and mixed in some yogurt. He didnt really want to eat it which is VERY VERY STRANGE FOR HIM!! He usually gobbles down anything and everything. I syringed some water in his mouth and finally got him to eat. He's sleeping now. I called the vet and made an appointment for 11 o clock. I was hoping it was just an upset stomach yesterday, but today with him acting so down, I better take him in. I am so scared...I have been "googling" like crazy and reading old SM threads all day and night yesterday. I am worried about pancreatitis. I'm also worried about some kind of blockage...he is a chewer and I'm always worried he'll eat something harmful even though I always watch him closely. AH! I am so nervous. Working from home again today so I can take care of him...and keep getting bombarded with work...just a very stressful situation trying to balance both :smpullhair: :smstarz:
Any advice would be appreciated!!!
