My terrier X Bobbi has been sick for almost a week now. It started last Saturday. She has been hacking and eating grass and she was throwing up on Monday. We took her to the vet and they said it is a gastro problem, so she is on a special diet. She was starting to look better so we were supposed to put her back to her regular food slowly and she has started with the hacking again, so back to the special food.
I am worried about her even though the vet says there is nothing to worry about, this has never happened before. It hurts me so much to see her trying to throw up and it sounds so rough on her. She gets frantic and runs around and exhausts herself.
At least when she is on this special diet she feels fine and has no problems. I called the vet today and he said to take her off her regular food for a few more days. This has also been hard on us cause sh elooks like she is starving. We are only allowed to give her a 1/4 of a can every 3 hours and sh ejust gobbles it down. When we feed our other dog at their regular feeding times she just stares at his food and looks at us like why can't I have any.:( And than our other dog looks at her food and wants it so he gets jealous.
I just needed someone else to tell, so thanks for reading. Just have not had anything like this happen before so am not sure how to deal with it.
