MY dog has been throwing up and has diarrhea since Sunday of this week. I feel bad because last night I had to keep him in his cage downstairs while I slept upstairs. Orion usually sleeps with me in bed at night. He kept throwing up water though on my pillow and mattress. I couldn't let him keep doing that since I kept waking up and having to put him on the floor so he wouldn't keep spreading regurgitated water on the bed.
I hope he is okay. I really don't have to funds to bring him to the vet, so I am going to call his vet today to see if there is something I can do at home. I read that as long as he is going the bathroom and isn't shoing blood in his stool or puke that he might just has a stomach problem that could be cured with plain rice and chicken or some PeptoBismal.
I know that Theos, our shepard had thrown up a lot of water when he was nearing his death and so I fear the worst right about now. I mean, Orion is about 14 years old and just got all his rabies, distemper and kennel cough shots. His teeth aren't the best, but we haven't changed his food and I don't believe he got into something bad. I don't know.
Anyone out there have any comments or concerns that I should look into? Again, vet bills can be large and right now, the funds are just not there. He isn't throwing up the yellow mucus like when he eats grass. He is still eating dry food, wet food just today, he is drinking water and his energy is still there, although jack russell terriers have tons of energy anyway.
He didn't have any accidents in his cage last night, but did yesterday when we went to the store and we had to clean out his cage with the hose and so forth. He is lying on my pillow, calmly on my lap, resting his eyes. He is beautiful - I hope the end isn't near.
