Today after doing fine for a number of days Kody threw up his lunch. There wasn't any blood this time, so at least that's good. Maybe this is just a regular throw up, not indicative of an issue. Nevertheless, I gave him some of the antacid the vet prescribed.
I'm at the end of my rope. This causes me so much worry and I don't think I can take it anymore. I'm so mad, and there's nobody to blame, so I end up being mad at god or the universe or whatever. I'm exhausted. I just want Kody to be okay. I just want to go back to the time where I wasn't worried sick all the time.
Stay strong man. You will both get through this.
I know your frustration and concern. We go through this often enough, while other folks have dogs with cast iron stomachs.
Sometimes they just need to get something out of their systems and it is best to let it happen. That is when we resort to the Purina EN canned food and pedialite system. We have Rx Centrine for the intestinal/diarrhea issues, and Rx Metoclopromide for nausea/vomiting when that gets bad. The trick is evaluating the causes of the upset and knowing when to medicate.
Now that our kids are in their 20′s, I thought my days of examining poop (the dog now, not kids!) and vomit were over. Hell no! Checking for all sorts of foreign objects and evaluation color, consistency, etc. of this yuck has started all over again. Don’t let it get you down…you just love Kody!
Thanks for the kind words.
