My 13 year old Timmy is acting fine -- napping, trotting around the snowy yard, woofing, etc etc, but has thrown up 3 times today. He threw up after breakfast, once midday (not after a meal) and again right after dinner this evening. He crunches his kibbles one by one quite gently, so it's not like he eats too fast or anything. For as long as we can remember, Timmy vomits when his belly is EMPTY, so he gets small treats often throughout the day, right before bed, etc, and for as long as we've done this (we're talking years now...), he hasn't puked. He is pooping just fine, all normal stuff, being his usual snuggly self, everything. Anyone have a thought, maybe just a random upset stomach, or worth an appt? I have had Shelties and other dogs since I was 2 years old but have not experienced anything like this. So odd....
Timmy has always been my easiest baby....other than his weird tummy! He can keep down water, but we didn't let him have tons since he started vomiting this AM, just a few small sips at a time b/c usually when he vomited in the past, water made it worse. He has kept down 3 saltine crackers now, given in small bites over the past 90 minutes. He seems tired and wants to go to bed, which is normal for this time of night. Actually, it's 10 Pm so we're past bedtime and he is following me around and nuzzling, normal stuff. Just dislike any illness with Timmy -- we lost his bestest buddy Dash last May, and his favorite Copper Bear buddy 3.5 years ago and he hasn't been the same since, has been more clingy, although he loves our new guys, it isn't the same. So i worry. Cannot handle any heartache right now...Thanks....
