<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It's the frazzled and clueless momPerson here. Snoopy appears to be on the mend, no doubt thanks to all the drool and well wishes from all of you. THANK YOU SO MUCH for your kindness, caring and support. There is NOTHING worse than having your baby sick. They can't tell you what's going on and I was pretty scared. I don't think we're out of the woods yet though so please keep the drool coming.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Yesterday Snoopy vomited only once, around 11. He drank a whole bunch of water and it didn't sit well on his tummy and it came back up along with part of his breakfast from earlier. That is when I called his vet. Here is something that might help someone else so I will share it. When I told my vet that the vomit had turned a yellow color I was told to give Snoopy pepcid (1 tablet for every 25 lbs, I gave him 2 cause he is under 75 lbs). It worked WONDERS. You could see the look on his face change from pain to relief .... in SECONDS. And he didn't vomit again. He ate a very small dinner (less than 1/2 cup kibble) and stopped and looked at me like OUCH and I ran for the pepcid and gave him two and it worked again and he did NOT vomit. Late in the evening he had a big drink and gave me the look once again and it worked a third time. No vomit. I googled the pepcid thing and there is
posting that the yellow vomit is indicating excess stomach acid and the pepcid neutralizes it on the spot. Hope it helps someone sometime.</DIV>

<DIV>So he ate yesterday .... but not a lot. Maybe a cup of kibble over the whole day. And he wouldn't take treats. He did drink LOTS of water ... probably dehydrated after all the repeated vomiting the night before. This morning he had some diarrhea ... small amount and only once. Then he didn't seem to want his kibble so I got out some cooked rice and added it. He ate about 1/3 of the kibble and all the rice. My vet says he might need an easy to digest meal for a day or two so I got an old steak that had freezer burn out of the freezer and it is simmering on low in just enough water to cover it. I will serve that tonight (1 part drained meat to 2 parts cooked white rice).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The good news is I offered cookies about an hour ago and all 3 dogs trotted into the kitchen and took one and ate it. :-) Go Snoopy!! He's wagging when you say his name today. He looks peaceful and contented snoozing on the couch behind me. I'm hopeful.</DIV>

<DIV>Thanks again from the clueless momPerson with Snoopy (I had a REAL rough time the night before last) and Cyrus (he scared us good) and LuLu (he's still kinda sick)</DIV></div></body></html>
