Abby vomited yesterday morning when we got up. I thought it might have just been a little tummy upset. I watched her and checked on her and she seemed okay - still jumping around and playing, eating and drinking.
This morning when we got up, she again vomited. I was starting to worry a bit more...... then she I heard her and ran out and she vomited again. She vomited up a prickle!!
She has an appointment with the vet tomorrow to get her teeth checked but I'm so worried. Will prickles make her sick?
I think the previous tenants or the owners have previously tried to kill the prickles by spraying them - but now I'm really scared that she has eaten them and they've had some poison on them - I don't know what it was that they put on them!
whoops... more Aussie slang I guess then!! A bindii??? Umm.... ????? A horrible little prickly thing that grows in the grass and sticks in your foot.....???? Does that help??
Only thing I think you should do is watch her for signs of illness... If your going to the vet already... just mention it to them... but dont get too worried unless shes showing signs of illness. Hope your baby feels better! Watch what she eats..haha
I think you are talking about what we call a thistle. Ouch that had to hurt going down and then back up. I have no idea if it would hurt her. I would call the vet and ask.
Mum seems to think it might be heat stroke moreso than the prickle.
I'm not sure. She drinks a lot of water during the day... should I put her in her play pen (without the toys) beside my bed at night so she can get a little drink during the night maybe? Just until it cools down a bit?
She has been vomiting early in the morning - but is fine the rest of the day it seems.....
im sure the sharp points irritated her stomach and that is why she threw up...i hope she got them all up. of course im still not sure what a prickle is...okay i looked up bindii...is this one?

Sorry I can't help ya with this. Sometimes Noriko would have phases where she'd throw up in the mornings. Someone told me that her dog throws up almost everyday and she's not worried. Oh, and my doctor told me that sometimes when they eat too fast, that will cause them to throw up. I hope all is well.

So I got my little London spayed 13 days ago(really eager to remove cone tomorrow)
She’s healing great and still has energy and has been eating well (even the first day of her spy she ate. My question is did the spay make her regress in potty training? She’s been doing so well for a while now...
Those of you that have or have had both, either simultaneously or at different times, have you noticed differences in personality, levels of affection, independence, trainability, etc...?
Today I brought home a rescue Maltese-cotón tulear mix.
She’ll stay with Belle and me till her forever family is fixed (the shelter is currently reviewing 2 families). Within a week or fortnight they should have a family.
She gets along very well with Belle, but she’s scared of me. When I give...
I was wondering about the weight our babies should be. Kobe is 3.5 lbs and according to the vet he hasn’t gained anything this last month. It worries me a little bit. The vet says that it’s fine but he seems skinny to me. He eats well. I serve his a half cup and we free feed. He eats probably...
Hi everyone, my Nani is a year old now and scheduled for her spay next week. I am looking for recommendations for keeping her from licking her stitches. I used an inflatable collar type for a larger dog in the past and it worked well. My concern for Nani is she will start to cough and gag if...
