    Big scare with Bubba!

    My daughters boyfriend stayed over last night and so today we were all gone and he called and told me when he got up bubba was foaming at the mouth and shaking. I guess he called his mom and she said that is what their dog did when it died so he called me crying.

    I rushed home and took him to the vet, he threw up in my car right before we went in to the vet. He was sort of wheezing/whining and shaking the whole way. I thought he was going to die he is the toughest little guy and has never been sick.

    The vet did a physical on him and then took xrays, they couldn't find anything abnormal, I asked him to check his airway as much as he could. Bubba was already acting better by this time. So the vet sent me home to watch him and give him pepcid ac. He suspects he got into something but we can't think of anything bad he could have got.

    He does eat the kitties poop out on the bark so he could have gotten a sliver in his throat or something. It was really scary of course I suspected bloat or a blockage.

    Yes he is acting a lot better, it was funny because bossy casey was giving him the "where the heck have you been without me" business when I brought him in the door.

    Oh my goodness you have had a lot of scares recently - first with Casey and now Bubba! We are all wishing that this is just a passing thing and are glad to hear that little Bubba is feeling better.

    Casey..... he went to the white coats so you can stop your sniffing now. Bet you are glad you didn't have to go on that ride. Mine are the same way. They have to pass the sniff test when they come home if the other was left behind.

    Thanks Pam yeah I have had a week, I was actually worried he might have gotten into caseys antibiotics but that wasn't the case. They asked me if he had acted normal after the dental and I told them he had no problem at all. He does definitely get into things and my daughters boyfriend gives him lots of treats. My daughter is very messy and there could have been a day quil or something on her floor and bubba hangs out in her room, it scares me just thinking about it.

    By the way I saw a gorgeous white standard poodle at the vets but I was too worried at the time to really pay attention but he or she was really gorgeous and I thought of you.

    Oh No! I hope that this scare makes her realize that she should be more careful.

    {{HUGS}} to you and I hope Bubba got it all out of his system and will be fine!

    Oh no!! That must have been terrible to witness! Thankfully, you're daughter's boyfriend was home and had the wherewithall to tell you so you could act accordingly!

    How is he doing now?

    Oooh, Bubba!! That definitely sounds like a bad reaction to something. Very glad to hear he's alright and he's long overdue for some pictures
