Removed #1 Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Came pack from grabbing the kids from school and picking up groceries...walked in...and the whole house reeeked of vomit... Eponine puked in her crate...just in one little back corner. Not sure if its something she ate/got into/picked up on a walk...or if she's sick....energy level...cracktastically normal...poops...normal...pees...normal (ie not strong smelling or neon or anything)...temp...normal....going to with hold food for a day and then do the rice thing and see if that helps... Any other suggestions out there for making her more comfy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austinville Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Oh, poor Eponine! (and you!!!) When Ryn is upset, I sometimes give her pepto. She doesn't care for the taste, but it soothes her tummy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arooroomom Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 We've done the pepto too. What color was the vomit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed #1 Posted November 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Yellowy ickies...with a lil bit of white foamies...ie it was fairly fresh...like she waited for us to walk up the steps before letting it all out.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daughters pup does that when she hasn't eaten. (Quite frequently). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val (Zebedee) Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 does sound like bile, mine only tend to do it after eating long blades of grass (but we get the grass revisit us as well as the yellow ick & foam!!) - I'd go with no food for 24 hrs then bland stuff for a day or 2, but obviously any changes in her energy etc ask the vet .... hope she is ok, xxxxxxxxxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall because I went outside and saw daughter watching her eat grass...and freaked out a bit because well...you never know with things outside...even if they're in your yard...and i'm a bit paranoid... yus yus going to withhold food for 24 hours and go from there...

Sibemum Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 My Shadow was exactly the same when he was a baby - then I thought he'd swallowed stuff and allsorts going through my head - eventually - I realised as a growing lad he just needed a wee bit bit more.... If her eating regime is steady I can't think of anything else - sorry ..... Is it worth tagging the vet for a free bit of advice over the phone??

Michelle Melsom Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Puking after grass is normal for cats and dogs they cant digest it thats why they throw up its usually no call for concern at all and you can go about things normally ..I think its weird the vet agreed with withholding food if everything else is normal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sutsibe Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Usually when it's yellow bile and everything else seems fine, it's just that they've digested everything they had to eat, and are empty... I've found that a little bit of bread or toast often helps calm things down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
