<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I was wondering if anyone had some advice. Drake is almost
two years old, and on the whole, has been a very healthy little boy. We had to
go out of town last weekend so he stayed at the vets office for a few days. We
brought him home Monday afternoon. That night he threw up twice. My husband
gave him some water and he threw it back up. I had to go to work, so I called
the vet and made an appointment in case it was something he had picked up while
he was there and my husband was going to take him. Long story short, he didn’t.
Says there is nothing wrong with the dog. Gave him small bits of food and Gatorade
and he was feeling better by Thursday. Up until then, he just wasn’t acting
like himself. Then yesterday evening, Drake threw up again. HE would wait until
the vet was closed to get sick the second time, but once again, husband says
there is nothing wrong with the dog. I'm worried because he has never done this
before, and I found more vomit this morning when I got up for work. Right now
with my husbands orders being messed up, we don’t have the money to take
him to the vet, and I don’t know what is wrong with him. Any suggestions
on what to do? I don’t want to sound like a bad mom, but I'm out of
ideas, and I wanted to talk to the vet about a payment plan, but the Husband
refuses, says he has had dogs his whole life and there is no reason to take him
to the vet for vomiting. I'm angry and confused, and need to hear from someone
who has pet experience that im not married to </span></font><font size=2
