Guest amn70 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Laddie's been fine all day. Ate his breakfast about 9am, had his midday snack(biscuit) and had his dinner at 5pm. Suddenly at about 11:45pm, almost 7 hours after eating he suddenly got up from his bed and threw up without warning. It was virtually all undigested and partially digested kibble. I am not so much bothered by the throwing up but by the fact that after 6 hours it was still virtually undigested. Any ideas? Thanks, Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahicks51 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Seen it before- even 8 hours or so after a meal. It's weird, but they never seemed sick at the time, nor did they fall ill later.

Guest salov Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 It's just one of those things, if they are showing other signs like being off food or not themselves then it may be worth a trip to the vet, but it does just happen too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest amn70 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 (edited) I wasn't to worried, just sorta surprised. He seems fine and even just this morning he ate normally so hopefully he keeps it down this time. Oh speaking of him still having his appetite, right after he threw up last night and as I was walking back with the stuff to clean it up I caught him trying to re-eat it *yuck*. I stopped him of course. I guess Laddie figured why should it go to waste. UPDATE: Shortly after I initially typed this reply, Laddie got up from his bed and ran downstairs. Being that he never goes downstairs unless I go down I realized something was wrong. He was standing waiting to be let out so I immediately opened the door and let him into his run. He stood out there for a moment licking his lips and then threw up again. This was not even 45 minutes after he ate his breakfast. What do you guys think I should do?

RaineysMom Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 (edited) I would get him to the vet immediately! Very possibly could be an obstruction or bloat!! ETA ask them to do an xray ASAP.

Burpdog Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Vet check in order. Did you change foods? Does he eat things he shouldn't? Quote Diane & The Senior Gang Burpdog Biscuits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest amn70 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 The only thing he ate in the couple of days that he shouldn't was some leftover popcorn kernels at the bottom of a microwave popcorn bag that he stole from the garbage but he's done that before and I know they always come out the other end with him as I monitor his deposits or should I say withdrawls when I suspect he's eaten something he shouldn't have.

Guest MAXNAV Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 How's Laddie doing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest amn70 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 After following the vets instructions and withholding food and water throughout the day yesterday, at 5pm I gave him a bit of water and tablespoon of yogurt. He made it through the evening and the night with no problems. Gave him a small amount of boiled chicken and rice and a tablespoon of yogurt about 6:30 this morning. Its now 7:45 and so far he's kept it down. And as I mentioned in my original post, he is acting completely normal otherwise though less energetic then normal, which for Laddie isn't much of a stretch anyway but I guess you would be to if you hadn't really had anything to eat in a day or so. Remember he puked up his dinner the night before and his breakfast yesterday so he hasn't really had anything in his system since. Hopefully the chicken and rice stay down today.
