Lexi's Sick

Lexi started barking this morning at 6AM. She wouldn't stop so I went out to her crate to take her out to go potty. I noticed her pillow in her crate covered in brown stuff. I got her out of the crate and she started to act like she had to go potty so I took her out. She went poop but it was really, really soft. Almost to soft to pick up. When we got back inside she throw up a brown liquid. I offered her some dog food (didn't have any hamburger or rice for the bland diet) and she wouldn't eat it. We went outside one more time before I went to work and again the poop was really, really soft.

I called the vet and they said to give her a bland diet (boiled hamburger and boiled rice) for 24 hrs. After that if she is better I can give her her dog food again. If she isn't better I'm supposed to bring her in.

Wow! I just read this thread and I know how upset you must have been when Lexi got so sick. It is such a helpless feeling because they can't talk to you or point to what hurts. AND they don't ASK you first if they can eat something, they just eat it!

I hope she is completely back to normal by now and has learned her lesson about eating poop
Give her kisses from Pico and I.
