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.

yeah, when you try giving something new...give it slowly. like REALLY slowly. maybe a pea size. at most, a teaspoon. i wouldnt give more than that. i really messed the dogs up when i gave them pumpkin and sweet potato----i had to take them to the emergency vet.


try just plain chicken and rice for a week---then slowly add veggies.
