Thanks for the well-wishes, and I wanted to give an update. I did call the vet, and they suggested we keep a close eye on him, give him burger/rice for a couple of meals, and if he pukes again to bring him in. Thankfully, no more puking, he's eating/drinking/pooping/peeing just fine, and we are very thankful for that. :) Oh, and he's all playful and happy again, too. :) So, no more candy on the table, lesson certainly learned! :)
No, there was no chocolate in the mix, and most of the wrappers were paper, and the lifesaver ones were the clear cellophane (which is what he puked up).
So, yesterday, my hubby got up very early (5 am) to do some Black Friday shopping. I left Malone downstairs and went back up to bed until 7:45 when Lydia & I got up. DH's normal routine is to be downstairs and have breakfast at 7, and feed Malone at about 7:20-7:30, and take him out. So, by the time we got downstairs it was quite a bit later for Malone than his usual time.
I didn't notice it at first, but when I went into the dining room to find him, there was an empty candy dish on the floor. It HAD been filled with about 3# of individually wrapped lifesavers, Peppermint starlights, and Starbursts, and there was not even a single trace of anything...no wrappers, no crumbs, no nothing. :eek::eek::eek: They were leftovers from a conference that we had on November 7, and the candy dish had been sitting on the table ever since...Malone had never even taken two glances at it, but I guess he was thinking that we weren't going to feed him breakfast because it was so late.
He has thrown up 3 times tonight (once yesterday), and is acting very lethargic. :( I feel so sad and responsible that this happened, and should have known that that candy dish was an accident waiting to happen with him. He has been so good about snatching things lately that I honestly didn't even think about it though.
I hope his belly starts to feel better soon......not sure if I should call the vet (Saturday emergency fees) or just wait until this afternoon to see if he perks up.
