The other day Vash skipped one of his 2 bowel movements, I didn't think much of it at the time because well it was pouring rain and there was thunder and lightning so I just kind of figured he probably had to go but was too freaked out to do it.

Our walk the next morning went fine he did his buisness as usual, the stool was fine. Then last night when I walked him he had some normal stool and then he followed that up with about 4 or 5 diarreah related stops along our walk.

Diarreah seems to be a fairly normal occurance for Vash especially when he sneaks food he finds along our walks before I can stop him, and he just got his yearly vaccinations so I wasn't too concerned.

Well this morning around 4:30am Vash started throwing up and it didn't stop till around 5:05am. He didn't have an "empty stomach" but I couldn't really identify anything he was throwing up, it just looked like sludge and mucus. It honestly looked like poop but I really don't want to imagine Vash eating his poop so lets pretend that it's not. Anyway while I was cleaning this up he decided to poop in the house (diarreah).

A few hours have passed since and the throwing up has stopped, Vash seems to be in a general good mood (well he was jumping all over the place after I gave him a bath to get the puke off of him, but now he seems to be sulking). I took him out for our morning walk and his latest poop was white mucus, no stool to be seen.

Normally I'd take him to the vet but I still haven't found someone up here I like, and the vaccinations as well as a sick trip a few weeks ago have put the "Un-nessassary Vet Trips by overly concerned pet owner" on hold. So I was planning to see how things go today and tomorrow before heading out guns blazing. Still the white mucus in the stool has me concerned, has anyone seen this before?
 
How many times a day do you feed Vash? Just curious, it may have something to do with the upset stomach if you only feed him once a day. Also, do you have a cat with a litter box? I have a girl that likes to get cat crunchies as Chris would call it and was wondering if Vash could've potentially gotten into something like that.
 
sounds like he ate something that is aggravating his stomach. Whenever, this happens, I give immodium and yogurt for 24hrs. and very small amts. of water.:smile2: (Instructions from my vet) Also, some people will feed boiled chicken & rice. Hope it helps....

No Immodium (loperamide) for MDR-1 dogs, it's on the list. And I am wearing my glasses this time! :smile2:

You can also give Slippery Elm Bark Powder for a few days, and don't feed him for 24 hours.
