Thanks everyone for your well wishes. First off, I believe I have found the cause of his sickness! I was at work today (with Nebo, didn't dare leave him home) and telling my boss what had happened. I told her how the vet thought it was some sort of toxin that caused it but we didn't know what. It took her a minute then she told me that she saw them spraying the grass (Some sort of bug/weed killer? I don't know) in the parking lot on Thursday morning. Well I happened to have taken Nebo to work that day and out to that grass to potty several times. Not only that but I sat there in the grass with him for at least 15 minutes waiting for my ride home (my car is wrecked and being repaired). I remember him nosing around in the grass, trying to roll in it and he may have even eaten some. I've felt sick Thursday and Friday as well.

Oh I don't think I mentioned this before but you could actually see the stomach as being bigger/inflamed on the x-ray the vet said it was really bad.

My mom wants to try to get the company who sprayed it to pay the vet bills because you'd think they could put up some flags or something to warn people...but I have no idea if that's required by law so I doubt anything will come of that.

Anyway, Nebo's been on the I/D food from the vet and so far no vomiting.

I don't know I didn't think to ask my boss that.

My mom already talked to the manager at Smith's (the grass was more in their area) and he's going to try to find out who sprayed it. All of the shops there don't own the property, they lease it, so that is all done by the property owners.
