OPG, haven't been able to round him up, but we did see the two of them again last night. I don't know how the poor things are getting along. Perhaps they've found some kind of shelter for these miserably cold nights...well below zero here. We do keep some food out.

Eggie, Dixie is so darned cute!

Love the pictures of Dixie and the sprinkler. She is growing up so fast...at least it seems like just yesterday you shared her puppy pictures. I love spunky doxies...they make the whole world brighter don't they.

Yep, Dixie appears to be a full-sized weenie now. :-) It also looks like Oscar gave in and decided to get along.

They are both really cute!

My dog eating chicken today with chopsticks.

He's not spoiled. That's normal canine behavior, right???

The manic look in his eyes in the first one completely cracks me up:

Thanks, y'all.

He's actually VERY gentle when he eats -- he will only eat things if they are cut up into teeny tiny bites. Also, you can put food right in front of him and he will wait until you tell him to "take it," so eating off of chopsticks is easy for him.

And yes, he's spoiled. Though not completely rotten. :-)

Question about the little one above, if you don't mind.

My dog has an upset stomach today. He started by throwing up some food this morning, but since we took him on his marathon walk and he emptied his stomach (bm's), he has only thrown up the yellow, frothy stomach acid.

He has been throwing up every couple of hours or so since this morning. He has maybe thrown up 5 times in all today. The throwups are small. In between, he seems completely normal -- energetic, happy etc.

He has not drank much water today, though we've been trying to get him to do so.

I am pretty sure what caused it. Last night we had some pork ribs and we gave him about a tablespoon of some of the rib meat. My dh washed it before cutting it up and giving it to him. I also -- and I know you're going to yell at me and I'm prepared for it -- let him gnaw on one small pork rib bone that was filled with marrow. I held it the entire time, and he took tiny bites of it at a time and chewed and swallowed each bite. I did not see any splintering at all and I was watching. As metioned above, he is a dainty eater.

We were due to go out to a big function tonight, but I'm thinking we need to stay with him here.

Question: He doesn't seem in huge distress in between throwups. He seems relatively normal. How long should I let this go on? Or are you guys going to alarm me and tell me to rush him to the vet immediately? Advice? Thanks in advance.

Can you call your vet and talk to him? And I would get someone to stay with him if you can't. Finnegan is just too precious to take a chance. I should tell you that I am an alarmist and DH keeps me calm.

Was the pork raw or cooked?

cooked.

Just after I wrote this, he came flying into the room with his plush soccer ball and tried to get me to play with him. He's peppy. He just pukes every couple of hours.

My little jack russell does that every once in awhile too. I don't usually worry unless he seems lethargic, and it last more than a day.

Here's some info I found...

Many objects that initially cause vomiting are eventually passed in the stool. Vomiting can be curative in itself in that it purges spoiled food and toxins from the stomach and intestine. If I do not think the vomiting is helpful, I send these pets home with trimethobenzamide or Reglan pediatric suppositories to stop the vomission.

And this...

The yellow fluid is probably bile. Once in a while it is a really bright yellow or golden/yellow color. By itself throwing up bile doesn't mean much except that the pet probably threw up on an empty stomach.

When vomiting occurs and there are no clinical signs of illness it is always hard to figure out how seriously to take it. If there is no repeat of the episode it is probably safe just to ignore it. If there are more episodes of vomiting in the future then it would be a good idea to discuss this with your vet and consider doing some simple testing, like fecal exams, to make sure there isn't an easy problem that can be corrected.

I don't have any advice, but I can understand that sometimes a lil puppy just needs a treat. Hopefully he won't want pork in the future, since I'll bet its officially off his treat menu now.

Yeah, I'm feeling pretty guilty and hesitated to post because I know it was the "wrong" thing to do, but hopefully this is just an upset stomach and nothing more... He's still running around with his soccer ball...
