3shepherds Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 (edited) Jack (almost 3yr old GSD) started vomiting around 3am and has done so a couple of times since. Otherwise he seems OK but he's not as bouncy as he usually is - although he's currently 'chatting' with the dog next door. The vomit (sorry...) is is yellowish and frothy and it looks like he's been eating grass, but whether that's because he feels unwell or not I don't know. We are witholding food and he's got lots of water which he is drinking. If it continues much longer I'll be off to the vet later this morning. I just wondered if anyone here had any suggestions? He never goes out of the backyard unless he's walking (on a lead) with us, and Gracie (4yr old GSD) is perfectly fine and she's the one with sensitive tum! I've got the chicken and rice on standby for when he picks up. Any ideas? Edited August 23, 2008 by 3shepherds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3shepherds Posted August 23, 2008 Author Share Posted August 23, 2008 I'm back. Jack is in hospital, they've done bloods and are keeping him in for the moment - I have to ring them at 1.30 to get the results and find out what they're going to do. I can't believe it - he was fine yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucknow Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Oh dear, sounds scary. Hopefully it is just a yucky HGE & he feels much better after some fluid therapy & pain relief. Heres hoping for a speedy recovery and Jack home soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
