Kisses and hugs to Nebo and Mommy!!!
I hope he feels better asap!!!

One of my coworkers had to rush her dog to the vet yesterday b/c he was vomiting and wouldn't keep anything down. (no diarrhea) But he's ok now. Prayers and good vibes for Nebo!

Poor Nebo. Did Nebo eat today? If so, did he eat on his own, or was he enticed in any way? Whenever anyone's kid has tummy problems, I always think of pancreatitis. Does he seem unhappy and/or distressed? Any signs of pain? I know you've had it before, so you know about it, but it always comes to mind with vomiting and diarrhea in an otherwise healthy young dog.

Chester will go along eating and pooping fine and then suddenly it all goes bad and he's having diarrhea and in pain and won't eat.

Just a thought.

Hope he feels better soon and if he doesn’t want to eat, don’t dress his food up. Like the vet told me, they know when it’s not a good time for them to eat. I know you know it can be dangerous to take in any food if he does have pancreatitis.

Poor Nebo!! I hope he is feeling better soon

About this time last year, Sadie got diarrhea very badly (for about 2-3days)...I can't remember if she was vomitting or not. Anyway, our vet did two different fecal exams: the regular float they do for parasites and a more through test that showed she had Clostridium. It is a bacterial infection of the intestines and was very easy to treat with an anitbiotic.

I knew you have posted a few other threads that Nebo did not seem himself....how long as it been going on? Maybe try and think back to then ( a week or so)....was there anything, anytime he could have gotten into? At the dog park? Agility class? Any toys torn up or missing that could have caused an obstruction?

Don't worry about overreacting! We do that here too!!! Sadie andCincy both havebeen tot he ER vet inthe middle of the night more then once!

Poor Nebo. Also, poor you, I know how worried you must be.

You have had some excellent suggestions and advice from everyone and I can't think of anything to add .... except maybe - a long shot - could there be any connection with him liking to chew/eat tree branches and stuff? Maybe something in the sap?

Keeping you both be in my thoughts and prayers.

Hugs

Amy I am so sorry to read this! I hope by the time you return to this thread you will have some better news to report. Please don't for one minute think you are over-reacting! You know Nebo and how he normally acts and sometimes, even without the other bodily things like vomiting and diarrhea going on, that sends out quite a strong signal to us that all is not well. The advice here has been excellent and I only have one thing to suggest. Recently Rachel had some problems with Hannah because she ate some bunny poop. I know Bella enjoys bunny poop at times and she can get some of down before I even realize she has found it. (((Hugs))) to you and Nebo.

Nebo is trying to drive me insane!

He acts totally FINE this morning. He's been running around, playing...acting like normal Nebo. He doesn't act sick or in pain at all. I don't think he has any sort of an obstruction (unless it was really, really tiny?) because she took x-rays and everything looked normal.

The medicine that is gel is for the diahrea and the pills are an anti-biotic. I'm not sure of the specific names but I can check.

I asked the vet when and what I should feed him, and she said to feed him what he normally eats. I gave him 1/2 cup of regular dry dog food, nothing added, and he ate it like he was hungry. I have tried the hamburger and rice thing, I did that when he was a puppy and had diahrea. I also gave him some sort of over the counter medicine made for that, I probably still have some. I'm going to try what the vet told me to do first though.

It's been several hours since then and he still acts fine...

I need to go outside and check if he still has diahrea. He's only been outside to potty once this morning but I was in my pajamas, no shoes and there's snow outside!

I hope he continues to feel better. I know how worried you must be. Keep us posted, Nebo is very special to us all!!
