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.

Hope your babies are all better real soon. I was told to use canned pumpkin for constipation also. I didn't know that it could help with diarrhea as well. I will have to remember that in case Tucker ever has it. Also I was told you could freeze any left over and keep for later. Best wishes to you and your little ones. If you're like me, you are probably more upset over their ailments than they are.

Hey thanks, that's a great idea. Tucker loves ice. Wonder what he would think of pumpkin ice
