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.

You need to make some phone calls on Monday!

First:
Find out if they SHOULD have put up warning signs. Try calling:
* the local Health Department - a City or County agency, usually
* the "Utah Dept of Agriculture & Food" - they license some applicators
* last resort - call the State DEQ (Dept of Environmental Quality)

Second:
Find out WHO Sprayed the area -
prolly have to call the Mall's Management Company - your store's Landlord

Third:
Make a formal Complaint to either the "proper" regulatory agency from Step 1;
or direct to the Lawn or Pesticide Service identified in Step 2.
The BIGGER and more Nation-Wide the company is - the better the chance that
they might settle to keep you "quiet".

Nebo isn't the first pup to be sickened by sprayed-on Fertilizer / Weed & Pest
Control agents applied to lawns ...
and USUALLY they post a LOT of little signs all over the area they treated.

Be SURE to call the Vet and tell him what you suspect ...
They may want to do some additional testing.

Prayers that Nebo STAYS Better!
