Please think of Jasper...

[DogLover9501]

I know that this is probably nothing serious, but I can't help but worry.

For the past couple of hours, Jasper has gagged/tried to throw up about 10 times.

Of course, I run over and ask if he's okay and kiss him and pet him and pat his back everytime, being the worry wart that I am.

I hope theres nothing in his throat or anything like that :(

I know it's probably nothing, but please think about him.

Thanks

I'll pray for Jasper. Don't worry though, he's probably ok :)

Jasper is the Boxer? I'd call the vet and ask him for signs of bloat, maybe give a heads up just in case it is bloat. Is Jasper salivating? heaving? dry retching? pacing?

Yes Jasper is the Boxer, I can't call the vet right now, as it's almost 3 am ;)

He is sleeping right now, but no he wasn't doing any of those things.

You and Japser are in my thoughts and prayers. How is he doing today?

[DogLover9501]

Right now I am sitting here listening to the constant squeak of his toy ;)

In other words, he seems pretty normal, he was gagging a bit but that was about 1.5 hours ago and it was only once.

He didn't even get out of bed until 12:30 :rolleyes:

I'm still keeping a very close eye on him.

Thanks everyone, you guys are the best! {{{{{Hugs}}}}}

sounds like he was just hacking a bit, my dogs do that farley often, they will stat hacking as if they are going to throw up, so I run them outside and nothing happens. Idont know about Jasper, but I know a lot of dogs do that for attention lol

[My Peanuts]

It's probably not this, and I really don't want to scare you, but I had a dog when I was younger that hacked a lot. He was pretty old (he lived to be 18) and the hacking was from congested heart failure. He had it for years and years and didn't die of anything related to his heart (he also had diabetes and pancreatitis). I don't think Jasper has that especially since he is so young & active, but I thought I should mention it. He probably just has the flu or a cold. RB Angie used to throw up all the time especially when she was young. She didn't die of anything related to that either.

[luvofallhorses]

I am glad he is alright((((hugs))))

[lute]

glad to hear he's ok now.:D

This happened to Ruby and I a few months ago (it was the wee hours of the morning here as well :rolleyes: ). Luckily, there's a 24hr emergency vet nearby which I was able to call. I don't know if Jasper is on any special diet, but the vet recommended that I feed Ruby some soft oatmeal (cooked, obviously) and if that didn't stop the hacking to bring her in. Well, it didn't stop, I went to the emergency vet (around 1am). They did some x-rays and it ended up being nothing serious (an enflamed trachea). They just said to keep an eye on her for a few days and she'll be fine - which she was and is :)

Sounds like Jasper is on the up and up. Hope it stays that way. Maybe try the oatmeal if he's still hacking? HUGS to you both :)

Don't worry, you didn't scare me ;) I already went through all the worst-possible things that it could be, that's just how I am :rolleyes:

Thanks for that information, he hasn't hacked in about 4+ hours, so hopefully it'll stay that way, I'm definatly keeping a close eye on him ;)

Robyn, I'm glad to hear that Jasper is back to his normal self:D

[dukedogsmom]

Glad to hear that he's doing better now. I know what you mean about going through the worst possible things. It can make you crazy.
