My Honey Dog

For the last three days my dog Honey, the 3 year old hasn't been able to keep any food down but she has been drinking water and keeping that down. She seems to be feeling okay in every other way. I took her to the vet this morning and they ran tests Blood, CBC,Electrolyte SA and examined her. The vet is supposed to call me this afternoon with the results of the tests, I am waiting and praying it is nothing too serious. The vet examined her tummy and it seemed to be normal, not tender at all. She was so good while they were doing the examines and taking blood work.

I hope it's nothing serious. Here when this one happens it's normally some sort of gastro problem that effects the dogs. They end up with some shots and pills to take. If you don't catch it soon enough on puppies they can die from this.

All her tests were fine and seems it might be caused by her gobbling her food to fast. Now I have to give her three small meals a day instead of two large ones.

@poehere She is a 105 pound dog very large frame and is always hungry. She did keep her food down this morning with the smaller amount I gave her. I will feed her 3 small meals a day like my vet said to do.

@Marcyaz WOW you feed your dog 2 large meals a day? Isn't that too much food? I was told years back for the first 6 months puppies get feed twice a day after this once a day either morning or night. I feed my dogs at night and only once a day not two or three times. Good luck hope your dog feels better soon.

I do so hope that Honey is ok, and that the test results are good. Our pets mean so much to us, don't they?

That is a matter of concern really.Hope your Vet will be able to sort it out. Our little one (not really little she is 8 going on 9) is losing her coat. She is on treatment. Normally she has a silky coat. Hope she will get her coat back.

I think my vet has determined what was happening and has given me her recommendation. Oh I hope your little one is getting her coat back soon.

It's good that you took her to the vet and hopefully caught whatever it is in time. I hope it's not anything serious.

@simone10 It's strange as the vets office called and wanted to know how Honey was doing. I keep a good eye on my dogs and generally I know if something is not right with them.

@Marcyaz That is great news. When dogs don't feel good, you can always tell.

I am glad that you have taken her to the vets. Has there been any change in her food recently, ie, swapping to a different brand? Have you ruled out psychosomaticism? Any changes within the house that may have upset her? Is the vomit partly digested, bile or clear? Are her stools normal? Does she have any known food allergies? It might be worth asking the vet for a food allergy test - dogs are prone to allergies, especially cereals which is the main ingredient in most supermarket brand dog foods. . Sorry to ask so many questions . . . I am sure that it is nothing to serious.

No, no changes here and I don't buy her supermarket brand dog food. She seems fine this morning and has kept her food down. the vet recommended I feed her 3 small meals a day so she doesn't gobble all at once.

@Marcyaz Glad that she had a better night. Rushing her food may be a contributory factor indeed.

I'm sorry that Honey isn't feeling so well. Ask the vet if you can give her a little chicken broth to keep her electrolytes up, and then eventually you should be able to add a little rice to it to get her tummy used to food again. Keep us posted on her condition and the vet's findings.

It seems the problem is she is eating to fast so I have to feed her smaller portions.

@Juliaacv I think maybe she was in a race with my younger dog is the only thing I can figure out and why all of a sudden I don't know.

@Marcyaz Oh what a relief that it isn't anything too terrible. Maybe you should reconsider calling her Speedy, just kidding! But seriously, I wonder what would change a dog's eating pattern like that.

Have you tried giving her Sprite. That is what the vet told us to do when one of ours got so sick. It helped him at the time.. And he got okay.

I hope your little baby gets better soon. I have two labs and I love them like babies of mine. They go everywhere I go. And I do a lot of walking and going down to the creek and they love walking down there with me. They are my buddies. Prayiing for your fur baby.

Our vet said sometimes dogs are choosy, maybe that's the reason why it doesn't want to eat?

We found out why she didn't want to eat and it wasn't that she is choosy.

She could just be feeling sick, just like people, dogs get under the weather too. It happens. Hopefully everything turns out well. Will you update us when the results are in? Sending healing vibes for her!

She seems to be gobbling her food down to fast so I am just giving her a little at a time. All her tests were fine nothing showed up abnormal.

Good results she is eating to fast so the vet wants me to feed her smaller portions three times a day.
