Sandi has been vomiting all day today :(

Shelby's mom said:
This happens to Hollie once. We had to take her to the vet b/c the vomiting wouldn't stop. Turned out that she got sick from one of the feral cats. They gave her a shot to stop the vomiting and antibiotics. We had to withhold food and give minimal water until the vomiting stopped. Then just a bland diet of rice and chicken for a few days.

Sure enough a few days later I did find cat feces in my flower bed that was full of worms:gaah

We a also gave her Pepcid when she had her gallbladder issues.

Oh, gosh. Shelby's mom, I am sorry to hear that. We don't have cats. And Sandi is not playing around any cats. Thanks so much for your response. I appreciate it.

I will stop giving Sandi dog's food for at least next 24 hours. Regardless the reason that caused vomiting to give her chicken and rice would a safe thing to do, I am sure. I'll take care of it tomorrow!

Yes, it is a med you can get at any drug store or most grocery stores that have OTC drugs and it is safe for dogs. Our vet put both our Pixie and our Timmy Timbit on it due to vomiting from too much tummy acid. This may not be Sandi's issue, but the Pepsid won't hurt her and it might help.

Many thanks for the advice, Trini! We will buy Percid 10 mg tomorrow and will give her 1 pill. I suppose 1 pill is enough.

Also tomorrow we will buy chicken breast. I will cook it, along with white rice and will feed her next few days.

When we have vomiting (or diarrhea) around here, I usually withhold food and limit water for at least half a day and the reintroduce after we've had several hours without incident... with three cats and a dog, we have to do this on a more regular basis that I would like.

I can't comment on any OTC meds though that might help.

Many thanks for your response, Watson's Mom. We don't own cats, only 1 dog Sandi. She does not play or act around cats at all. Who knows what might cause her vomiting. She doesn't feel well because her nose is not cold though she remains quite active. I will withhold her dog's food and will feed her chicken with rice for at least next couple days watching her closely. If God Forbid she continues vomiting we will take her to the doctor.

I am unsure about water. Can she drink water normally or should it be rationed ??

This didn't refer to the dog getting anything from the cats, it just refers to the fact the cats are always puking. Cats puke A LOT. One of mine puked this morning, for instance, no reason.

Just thought I would mention since I am still roaming the internet.

Got it! Thank you much. :yes:
 
Must LOVE cats -- scratching everything, puking often, independent, shedding, pottying in the house little beasties . . .

I have three and have had cats since 1992! Usually 2-3 at a time -- one period of time 2 dogs and SEVEN cats! We were like the Brady Bunch with his and mine when we married.
 
Sending prayers and healing thoughts to your little Sandi, that her issues will be minor and she has a quick recovery. :fl
