Sorry its been so long, I was so sad and worried that I didn't want to think or write about the subject more than I had to. The new vet did a barium series on Tuesday and an ultrasound on Wednesday (the ultrasound sprecialist wasn't in the office Tuesday). The barium series pointed them to...

Well it now hurts him when we press on his stomach. The vet will conduct a barium study (he swallows barium and they do x-rays while it passes through his system) today and an ultrasound tomorrow. The vet suspects pancreatitis or an obstruction. We'll get the bring him home at night and take...

Well, he came home from the vet last night, sluggish but pumped full of fluids so dehydration isn't a worry yet. He has a few different medicines he gets once a day. He just woke up this morning and vomited 5 times, and he is shaking (not like a seizure, but like the chills). He won't eat...

The vet just called, they did blood tests and x-rays and could not find anything abnormal with poor Diesel. They said he had some gas pockets, but they couldn't find anything obstructing his digestive tract. They also said that the apricot pits weren't toxic?? I've read that they are, and so...

Thank you everyone for the warm thoughts. It is only 7:00 here in CA, and I'm calling every 5 minutes but they're not open until 8:00 I guess. Diesel still won't eat or drink, but hasn't vomited since yesterday afternoon. We're going to have the vet do X-rays and blood work. I'm also...

Diesel is 16 months old, neutered, and has had all of his shots. He started vomiting 72 hours ago, and continued to vomit for 48 hours (maybe 20 times total). We took him to the vet at the 48 hour mark, where they gave him fluids and some antacid for his stomach. He stopped vomiting for 24...

But worth the trouble, most of the time...

Hi, my 8 month old boy (Diesel) was staying at a friends house this weekend while we were on vacation. They have 3 dogs, and I heard they were all playing pretty rough together. He must have been scratched on his lower eye lid, because it is swollen and has lots of puss coming from it. My...

My wife and I have a six month old fancy fawn boy named Diesel. We live in Huntingon Beach, CA. We come to this website often for answers to our questions (I finally figured out how to register, they sure don't make that easy). Just yesterday, his whole face swelled up and he had hives all...
