Worried about Callie

**catnapper** · 06-05-2009, 07:54 PM

I know I'm rarely over here on the dog side -- 7 cats seem to take more time than one pup.

I'm REALLY concerned about Callie. She's had bad diarrhea all day and recently started to vomit a LOT. She's languid (but so would I be if I vomited like she's been) She's at the point where the puke is mucus and bile, no more food particles. She ate nothing out of the ordinary today... but last night she got her paws on the new bag of dental treats. She had 3 that I know of, possibly more. I did see chunks of dental treat in the yuck.

The dental treats are ones I've given her for a while. They're a good brand that promises 100% digestability. Could they be what's causing her tummy upset? Would they cause diarrhea too?

I'd say they could be to blame if she's had a lot more than usual for one day. We don't feed dental type treats because they give our crew bad bad bad stinkies...

When our dogs get loose stools or vomit a lot, we just fast them... and then ease into it with some plain rice. And if they keep that down ok, then next meal would be 1/2 rice, 1/2 kibble.

Could be an allergic reaction to something in the dental treats - my body will do that to me, sometimes, especially if I have a lot of something that I hadn't connected to as a minor allergy before.

Just keep an eye on her, make sure she gets fluid. Are her gums still nice and pink?

She's vomited several times since I posted. We've gone through every single blanket and towel in the house. I'm REALLY Worried about her. I have the feeling that she ate something -- cat toy, Cameron toy, etc.

Hubby thinks she's fine, I am worried. She looks so sad. you can tell she feels awful.

I'm going to go check her gums right now. EDIT -- gums pink.

What on earth did she eat?

Uh oh, is she drinking? Vet's office open tomorrow? Time for a visit, I am glad her gums are nice and pink. Make sure she's not getting dehydrated, with all the vomiting.

She's looking pretty pathetic this morning. I'm convinced its something stuck in her stomach. Hubby is equally convinced she's just got a cold because I was sick all day yesterday and one of the cats puked too.

I slept poorly so now I look like she does, and I have ot go to work. Hubby's home all day and will keep an eye on her. He knows there's a small window to get her to the vet before it becomes an emergency visit -- our vet is only open for a few hours on saturdays.
