In desperate need of advice

[bluebird]

She does get a bisquit at night, and a chew-ezz. I feed her at 6:30 AM and 6:00 PM. She hurls up... hurl, food that is...lumpy, like kibble that is really chunky liquid. (sounds SO lovely explaining this)

Have you considered that the culprit might be the biscuit or the chew-eez? This is a possibiity since you say she vomits on all other foods too.

If you refuse to fast her and give her poor uspset stomach a rest, at least feed her the cottage cheese or chicken or hamburger and rice or potato mixture It won't hurt her to eat that for a couple of days and could provide immediate relief.

Bland food for ill pups. Things like Rice with chicken broth, rice with chicken, etc.

No... I didn't think of that..... Hmmmm..... For tonight We will skip the bisquit and cheww ezz, we'll see how that goes, if not I'll *attempt the fasting.

Knowing Jenny, it won't work, but than at least you guys won't all be angry that I'm "Jepordizing" my dogs health by not trying. I'm telling you now... It won't work, she'd die before she'd skip a meal.



I want you to know, I DO appreciate it.

P.S. What is that list of? (in post #29) Jen's food is on there.

You know... I'm really not surprised at your reaction, GreyhoundGirl. I'm not trying to be mean, but we've all given you valid advice and you blow it off. You don't even answer our questions. Have you even searched for any of the brands near you? Have you even searched on Google for any of the brands mentioned? Chances are, you'll ignore this post, too, so why even try?

Point is: FAST HER. She WILL NOT die unless she has an underlying medical illness in which you should have addressed already. So FAST HER.

And in case you completely missed my first post, go back and read it because it sounds like you're still in your first state of mind and I don't want your dog to die from GDV (bloat!).

To be brutally honest, GreyhoundGirl, I'm starting to smell something fishy again.

Greyhoundgirl:maybe what you posted in genaral about your brother being mean to Jenny and peeing in her water dish has something to do with her health problems.If she drank any of that contaminated water she would be sick.Who knows what your brother feed her when you aren't there.If he is doing some of the things you said in general I wouldn't put it past him to feed her stuff that is bad for dogs.
P.S.the thread I am talking about is Petco is where the pets go???-vent in general

She didn't have supper last night... Or breakfast this morning. And I feel SO awful. Like a parent who sent her child to bed with out supper, than no breakfast and lunch the next day either. It makes me feel worse to know that eating is the highlight of her day.

She's had her supper now. Overnight she didn't hurl, but how could she, she had nothing to hurl. I'm starting to think fasting her wasn't a such good idea after all. Although I see now it worked, for that, I thank you all. (but that doesn't make me feel much better about it)

Tommarow I'll tell you if she hurls tommarow morning.

I was quite shocked though when she ran the usualy hour-and-a-half today. I didn't think she'd have it in her. She doesn't have much fat to keep her going.

Anyways, hope that answered all your questions. I'll keep you posted.

P.S. As I have mentioned, she doesn't drink the pee.

Fasting isn't a bad thing when tummies are upset. When a puppy/dog has a surgery you cannot give them anything hours prior to the surgery. And just because she didn't have her supper last night doesn't mean she didn't have anything in her stomach. If you feed kibble it usually takes 12 hours or more for it to go through. And just because she threw up doesn't mean she threw up all of the contents of her stomach.

Don't feel bad about this you aren't abusing her.
