Willy is sick; Update P2, #23

[robinh]

Poor little guy! I'd definitely have him checked out. Our vet says if they throw up to withhold food for 24 hours.

Kirby (our bichon) got the doggy flu this year. He was soooo sick. They gave him a shot to help stop the vomiting and pills that he took for several days to prohibit the stomach upset. Took a few days, but he came through it ok.

I'm so sorry to hear that Willy has tummy problems. I know that keeping him away from water when you have other pets is hard to do. Maybe he needs to be put in room by himself for a while if he'll tolerate it. I've had this happen with my Storm before and every time he'd drink he'd also throw back up so I had to take the water away from my bedroom area and put him back in my bedroom. After his tummy has calmed down a while, you may want to try giving him 1/2 of a pepcid pill regular strength. Storm takes one every night to help with his tummy issues and I've also used it in the past with my other cats when they've had tummy issues. I hope he starts feeling better soon.

Willy, Willy! I am saying a BIG prayer for you, sweety! Tummy troubles are no fun.

Poor Willy I hope he gets to feeling better soon. Maybe with digging the hole in the ground it was a place for him to get some cooling comfort in some way. Good Thoughts & Prayers sent Willy's way.

Oh dear Willy, we are hoping you feel much better soon. Do not eat the cat food - as Ben will tell you, it upsets Bichon tummies even though it tastes great! Give your tummy a rest and we will all be thinking of you

I hope he didn't get into any Christmas chocolates? Didn't know cat food was that bad for dogs, learn something new everyday.
I hope the little guy recovers by tomorrow, he does sound quite sick. Could you try pepto bismal to soothe his tummy maybe?

My Jadie eats the kitty food here frequently in place of her food - we even had to put it on a table so she couldn't get to it but she has found a way to get onto that table... ugh, naughty girl! She hasn't had any problems with it so far (and she's done it for year...)

I sure hope Willy feels better, soon.
