BaSim thank you for posting this. If I had read it last night before bed I would have not been able to fall asleep too well either. Poor Aly and poor little Reece. I will be praying for them both.

The sparkle in his eyes is gone, the bounce in his step is gone, but his little tail is still wagging when I talk to him. We had a very hard night. It was probably even harder because I was expecting the WORST. KayAnn, thanks for telling everyone about Reece. Last night when I was sitting in that waiting room, I really wanted to talk to you guys and tell you what was happening. I'm sorry I scared you and ran out like that. I was really freaked out.

What happened was I was on my computer and Reece is always either in his bed by my computer or in my lap. Last night though he kept walking away from me and acting weird. He'd go into my closet and under my bed. I opened the front door to take him out and as SOON as he stepped out, a ton of diarrhea came out. He didn't have time to even squat. I'm serious, it looked like an explosion. I carried him down the stairs and he walked around going to the bathroom everywhere. It was pure liquid with some chunks. (sorry if I'm being gross). I came in and was scared. I told myself he was fine while I raced around getting dressed. Into the emergency room we went. This was around 11:30pm. They kept asking me to describe his diarrhea then we heard some squirting and looked down and Reece had given them a great sample of it.

They basically told me to not feed him for 12-18 hours then put him on a high fiber diet with special food and cooked hamburger and rice. I felt better because they checked him out and he seemed fine in everything they checked. They even complimented him a lot saying he was a lab in a poodle's body because of his easy-going nature. We drove home and as soon as we stepped out of the car, he exploded again. He never has time to make it to the grass and its just all over the place. I wrapped him up in towels and layed down with him on the kitchen floor. Around 3am, I closed my eyes to go to sleep and heard him go to the bathroom again. I took him outside and he went more and also threw up. They told me to watch for vomitting so I got scared again and rushed him back. They told me to get him some Immodium so I went and got that and gave it to him. He went to the bathroom a few more times when we got home. I just stayed up all night holding him in towels and taking him out about every 30-40 minutes. If he was sleeping, he could go longer sometimes.

I just took him out again and he spit up 3 times so I called my regular vet and we've got an appointment there today. I can hear his stomach gargling and gurgling constantly. Even Shiloh can hear it from across the room. I am guessing something in the trash he ate was poisonous to him. They felt his stomach and said it was soft and normal and didn't even feel gaseous. His gums were pink, his temperature fine (although I was convinced he had a fever), and all other things they check in emergency situations were fine. I am hoping this will pass soon because I feel so exhausted. I haven't been able to go to sleep yet. I'm diabetic and the stress is making my blood sugar really high. I am going to call my mom later and see if she can come stay with me this weekend instead of me going to see her.

Thank you everyone for your kind thoughts. The messages and emails bring tears to my eyes and help me out so much. You guys have already helped me through a lot and I've only been here a couple months. Words can't express my gratitude. Think of Reece and his gargling tummy today and I know he'll get better with so many people wishing him well.

[Ben E Gas]

Ofcourse we will think of him.
Good luck w/ your ordeal.

Atleast he can eat hamburger, I'm sure he'll like that.

[margaret]

Oh my gosh how scary!!! I'll pray that everything will be all right with little Reece, but I know he'll be just fine after a while. Aly, I hope you and Reece will be able to get some real rest soon. You were so good to wrap him up in a towel and to lie down with him.

Bug and i are with you! we just got through a situation where for a week she kept vomiting. I cleaned everything to find out what was making her sick. Its amazing how loud those little bellies rumble! and they can't talk to you and all you can do is feel helpless and tired.
Oh you have our prayers and best wishes for certain! wish we were closer in distance - i'd take a turn with Reece in a second and let you get some sleep.
Reece will be okay though! bug has a knack for telling things like that....
