Guest LokisMom Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 (edited) About an hour ago, Tally vomited then ate it before we could stop her. She was licking carpet beforehand and pacing up and down the hallway. She was also panting. After eating the vomit, she went outside, ate some grass, came back in and began pacing and panting again. She has finally laid down on her bed but is licking the carpet excessively around her bed. Is this just an upset stomach and will clear itself up? Do I panic now or wait until morning? We've never had a sick dog before and don't know if she just doesn't feel well or if this is e-vet worthy. I'm a very nervous mommy and have made 1 too many rush to the vet trips over nothing so I thought I would ask those here with more wisdom and experience. Thank you for any suggestions in advance. ETA: Nevermind. I just freaked. I have to learn to not spaz over every little thing. She puked again and seems a bit better now.

Guest BlackandBrindle Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I'd say it's probably just an upset tummy. If she continues to vomit, won't eat or drink, or looks like she's in pain, you might want to call the vet. If she's resting comfortably, just keep an eye on her. Hope she feels better soon!

She's vomited twice more now and is back to the carpet licking. I'm really worried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeorgeofNE Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I don't want to freak you out, but pacing, panting, and vomiting could indicate a serious problem (panting and pacing could equal PAIN) and personally I would call the vet ASAP.

Guest SoulsMom Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Is anything coming up in the vomit, or is it just foam and mucus? Like, is she trying to vomit unsuccessfully? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LokisMom Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 She was vomiting successfully so we weren't overly concerned about bloat. It looked like she puked up everything she had ever eaten actually. We did the research on bloat last night as that was my first thought. She settled down and slept for a few hours last night. This morning she is not licking carpet as much, just for a few seconds when the alarm went off. She is periodically making a hacking sound. She has no fever and is acting a bit more normal. She does have some ridiculous bad gas though. We had a rough 3 hours last night but I am hoping the worst is over? We will likely take her to our vet tomorrow if she still does not seem 100% assuming it does not get worse today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batmom Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 If she vomits again, I would take her. One of the other things vomiting can indicate is a blockage. Hope she's turned the corner, tho!

Guest taylorsmom Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Hope that Tally is feeling better! What had she eaten (food-wise) before vomiting? I might be thinking a blockage also. Has she been constipated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LokisMom Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I don't think she has been constipated but to be honest, I watch them poo so often I can't remember whether I saw her go yesterday or the day before. She hasn't been trying and straining. She is raw fed so she had eaten a chicken back and some turkey breast(boneless) 5-6 hours before the first sign of distress.

Guest MomofSweetPotatoes Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 If she's still licking the carpet, then her tummy is upset. I'd probably take her in an have her hydrated and checked for blockages etc. JMHO (also, I'm a worrier) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ArtysPeople Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Glad it's not bloat, but I'd still take her in if she's still not better tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirocco_Nikki Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I would definitely take her to the vet if she is still vomitting today.

Guest LokisMom Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Any updates on Tally? She did not vomit during the day Sunday and aside from seeming a bit tired, she acted normal all day. She ate a small, easy meal Sunday night and kept it down. She also had a healthy poo last night. I'm not sure what was wrong but she seems fine now. She was begging me for treats this morning and bouncing up and down (which she does when she is excited). Thank you for checking for updates and thanks all for the prayers and possibilities.
