[For Want of Poodle]

Annie has so far thrown up 6 times since 9 pm last night (yellow bile), starting with throwing up kibble while I played with her in the local soccer field, mostly between the hours of 11 PM and 7am. I am exhausted. She is very snuggly, I think she feels miserable. I tried feeding her a tiny bit of egg and oatmeal last night to settle her stomach, she refused it.

Emergency overnight vet locally only accepts people from certain vet clinics (not mine). I planned on calling my parents vet this morning, dont have the secret cell number and mom told me to wait one more time after her 7 am throw up of bllody bits in bile. Well, she threw up again bloody bits 20 min ago, mom said well, it's been 4 hours why dont you wait... No!!! Not waiting anymore. So called, left message. It's a 2 hr drive to get there, I am exhausted, and I really wish I had called this morning.

So many ideas - wondering if it's the Bravecto I gave her friday (topical) (washed her neck with dog shampoo and then dish soap this morning with a washcloth), or if something is wrong after her spay almost 3 weeks ago.

Calling the vet back now, then will call another emergency clinic if she doesnt answer.

Omg this dog has had more issues!!!! She would actually have made pet insurance worth while.

Hugs to you both

Thanks cowpony.

I adore my parents vet. Called her and she answered, she knew my name and my dog and dogs breed. Said since I am far away, to give gravol then an electrolyte solution (and gave a recipe). Assessed how dehydrated she is (not very) over the phone. If she keeps vomiting more than one more time, call her back, and she will meet me at the clinic this evening. Her diagnosis is tentatively 'poodles have funny stomachs and are prone to allergies, probably nibbled on a plant". Love the vet. Clear, practical instructions, no guilt, no stress, very calm, very friendly.

I'm so sorry she isn't feeling well! I do wonder if she could have eaten something she shouldn't have and is trying to throw it up. Keep us updated.

I hope it’s just a plant, nothing serious !

Well, the gravol has settled one end, now its evacuating through the other. Moms dog has also thrown up twice in the last 2 days. The only change we can think of is we opened a package of a new brand of beef lung treats.... hope it isnt the treats, as they were a $50 bulk pack from Amazon (made in canada), the regular ones we buy have been out of stock for months, and Trixie will drive us crazy if she cant get her beef lung fix.

Poor Annie. Poor you. I'm glad she's at least getting whatever it is OUT, as awful as the process is.

Keep us posted.

 

[Teddy’s mom]

What a miserable time! I’m so sorry! How’s she doing? I’d rather barf than diarrhea any day! 🤦🏻‍♀️

 

[FloofyPoodle]

Poor girl. Is she doing better?

 

[For Want of Poodle]

Thanks everyone. We have been cuddling most of the day except for when I drove to register her for classes next week. Hope she is feeling better by then!

She is still tail up when standing, no signs of dehydration (vet told me how to check skin at her neck).

I gave her another gravol, offered her cooked ground chicken, scrambled eggs with oatmeal (tiny piece of each from my fingers), and, in desperation, a crumb of hamburger and she turned her head from them. Smelly liquid diarrhea and her stomach is gurgling now. No desire to drink either. Mom says it reminds her of a dog she had 30 years ago with parvo which is not a nice thought.

Still- she wandered around in the fenced yard/porch, barked at some squirrels, and participated in Trixie's bark fest about someone having the audacity to slam a car door across the street.
I will offer food again in an hour, then syringe more electrolyte solution in too. She expressed interest in my cookie a few hours ago, so I might have another and offer her a few crumbs. Have a funny feeling I will end up driving to the vet tomorrow. Mom has offered to do night shift tonight so I can sleep and work tomorrow.

Hope all goes well and she starts feeling better!

 

[Teddy’s mom]

Awe bless it. Keep us posted 🙏🏻

Poor Annie, I hope she's feeling better soon.

Well, the gravol has settled one end, now its evacuating through the other. Moms dog has also thrown up twice in the last 2 days.

Oh boy, it does sound like it's the treats if both dogs have been sick.

 

[For Want of Poodle]

Syringed another 20 ml of electrolyte solution and 15 ml of water in (she actually seemed to enjoy the water for a bit before refusing any more), as she is becoming dehydrated, offered food 2 more times, and rubbed a tiny bit of syrup on her gums to try and stimulate appetite. I even put a tiny bit of food on her nose,and she refused it. Annie has asked to go to bed early, and her stomach is still gurgling. She is still producing tiny amounts of liquid smelly diarrhea... (smell from across the room smelly). Poor baby.

I will call the vet again tomorrow morning if she still is refusing to eat.

 

[PeggyTheParti]

Thinking of you and Annie. And your mom's dog, too. Hang in there. 💛

 

[Fenris-wolf]

I'm so sorry Annie and your mom's dog aren't feeling well. Hugs to you three. I agree with Skylar, it has to be the treats. Keep us updated.

 

[Rose n Poos]

No suggestions here, sounds like you and the vet are keeping close watch, but I sure hope this resolves soon for you all!

I slept sans-poodle for the first time in more than a year. At midnight, she was bothering me to get up, so I took her down stairs, put her out on the porch, and fell asleep on the couch in less than a minute... with the dog outside. Oops. She barked and I woke up, got her in, and foisted her off on Mom. Apparently she slept through the night on moms bed, got up, had a pee, then vomited again at 7. Trixie is fine and quite jealous of Annie getting so much attention.

She is still refusing food and water, I syringed more electrolyte solution into her this morning(20 mL). Still tail up, happy, wagged her tail when I got out her leash, but dehydrated now and her fur feels like sick dog, if that makes any sense. Vet opens in half an hour and I will call then.

God, this dog is a health issue a minute I swear.... kennel cough, cut foot, scratching her belly with her foot when spayed, etc....

 

[Dogs4Life]

Hoping she gets better very soon. I am sorry you are going through this.

I would go to the vet. They will give her anti-nausea medication and maybe anti-acids and even appetite stimulants to make her eat. They can also give her IV fluids on the spot and you can continue treatment at home. Her tummy needs a break.
