Hi Diane, I went through a rather rough period, personally, about a year ago.. While Nathan was still his usual spoiled mommy's boy - I guess he picked up on my sadness. He started licking the walls, floor, etc - until he threw up.. and he had diarrhea that more than a few people suggested might be whipworm. After numerous trips to several vets and lots of tests - they all had the same conclusion. Stress altered the bacteria in his stomach and was causing the digestive problems. Everything is better for me now - and he has been perfect.. I guess I'm lucky that I have (like I'm sure almost everyone on here does) that magical connection with my dog - he just looks at me and I know he understands how I feel. However, I have to realize that he's a sensitive guy with sensitive feelers. : )
Hope this helps at all.
