Re: [Chihuahuas] Re: ARGH This dang pup!!

You mentioned previously that his throw up was more a salvia. If it is salvia, as opposed to puke, and he is doing that weird stuff with his mouth first, may want to check to see if it appears anything is stuck in his throat or his teeth. Could be a gag reflex. Of course, still the first and best advice....see the vet.

I don't work.  I just quit two weeks ago to move from Misery (Missouri) to California but I still don't see why he's having diarrhea.  He didn't have it when he went in, just vomiting.  They said diarrhea was normal and were happy that his blood sugar was staying normal but he stopped eating the prescribed diet at 11:30 a.m. yesterday.  I think he was just starving this afternoon and finally broke down and ate some.  I am going to go ahead to the vet and see what he thinks.  I think it's always good to get a second opinion and I will ask about Giardia or a liver shunt. I don't think I mentioned that he actually chews on his mouth like there's something in there before he starts the lovely hurling noise and then I have a few seconds to get him to the pad before he opens his mouth really big like he's trying to vomit around something.  Keep in mind, he only does this at night so I just don't know.  During the day, he's fine.  At night, after he's not eaten much, it's throw up and diarrhea city.  The diarrhea smells like the prescription food, is the same color and is all liquid.  There is no solid to it.  --- In Chihuahuas@yahoogroups.com, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > I'm just wondering what happened to the diet the vet  prescribed when this > pup was sent home?  (I agree with what was posted on  how this very important > topic is impossible to back track on because there are  so many posts after it > and in it where the subject wasn't changed)  I  thought Sparky was sent home on > a couple days of A/D followed by a specific  brand/type of canned dog food.   > What the vet prescribed is what  Sparky should be eating.  Trying out > different foods on his worn out  little system just doesn't make sense.  If Sparky > won't eat what your vet  prescribed you either spend all day dabbing it on his > mouth so he licks it off  or you call your vet for another vet approved diet > for Sparky's  circumstances.  If you work or something, Sam, you need to find a > friend or  family member that will nurse and feed Sparky during this critical > time when you  can't > katie > " Lets talk about our wonderful little friends!
