SICK PUPPY ~ HELP ~ Please!

[Chicks_N_Horses]

I do understand where everyone is coming from. Animal lovers want animals taken care of the best possible way. I just wanted advice and that is why I asked if anyone knew anything to do.

I will update later.

I agree; too bad threads like this can turn into attacks on you when all you are after is help with a sick animal. I think you are doing fine by your animals and family -- but then what I think doesn't matter a hoot anyway, you don't have to answer to me.

The foaming at the mouth and vomiting has happened to my pets more than once, and we usually find evidence they have eaten (or tried to eat) something like a frog, toad or chameleon, or else some rotten food or a dead animal. I have one rescued dog who was very close to death by starvation when found; he is terrible about eating anything he finds. Never lost a pet to this, but they sure have left some stains on the carpet....

Best of luck to you.

If my husband wouldn't let me take a seriously ill animal to the vet, he would get the head wound, but I wouldn't let him go to the emergency room. Then maybe he would sympathize with the suffering animal.

Only if you didn't hit him hard enough.

My chesapeake bay retriever acted the same way when she ate a bunch of pine needles. The vet gave her an IV but just sent her home and said she'd be fine. He had us supply her with homemade chicken broth(canned is too salty) and we put the pedialite in that. She made a million trips to the bathroom but was fine by the next morning.

We cut down the pine...

Homemade chicken broth is good stuff. You can add white rice in a day if pup keeps the broth down. My dogs puke if they eat rotten eggs (and fresh ones if they eat too many - we put an end to that with a better door where they lay). Good luck - sounds like things are looking up!
