Well Brutus vomited 4 times yesterday and he vomited after his breakfast this morning with no morning poop. I really don't think he ate anything as I have been keeping a close eye on him because of the other issues I am having right now, but the vet doesn't want to wait until tomorrow when he was originally scheduled to see him. I think he might have a virus or something. I will keep my fingers crossed. My poor baby.:pray:

Aww poor Brutus. I hope it's nothing serious, and the vet can figure out what's wrong with him. I hope he didn't swallow anything that you don't know about. Please keep us posted on what the vet says.

Well Brutus has to stay in the hospital to run tests on him and give him fluids. He has an ear infection and is running a fever. His tummy was sensitive upon palpation so they are going to do xrays and an ultra sound if necessary. So off my baby went and I went home alone in tears. Depending on what the tests show he may be able to come home tomorrow or Thursday. If the xrays come back with obstruction, well we will cross that bridge when we get to it. Hopefully he just has a bug and nothing else. The vet said it is good that he pooped normal this morning. He also was quite baffled as to why I was feeding him Merrick grain free. He said that if he has developed an allergy to it now I am limited to what I can give him because if he is allergic to buffalo he will most likely be allergic to beef pork and chicken. Whatever. I'm still not going to give him a food loaded with crap.

Oh Rosalie, I'm just NOW reading this… I'm so sorry about Brutus, and I know how worried you must be… Hang in there, sounds like they will keep a close eye on him. Hopefully it's just a virus, and not an obstruction…

WTH does the vet mean about him NOW being allergic to beef, pork and chicken?!! Completely different proteins :facepalm:I swear these vets, I was arguing w/mine about the Fromm's. Bottom line is these guys do NOT know food, they just want to sell their Science Diet crap.

Sending you lots of prayers & hugs girl… and PLEASE keep us posted!!! :hug2:

I think the point he was trying to make was why start out with the best food and then if you have a problem you have no where to go. Stupid point i think. with bullys who have so many sensitivities, starting with the best and avoiding the problem to begin with is the better answer. He really didn't get into it though because he was more concerned with his belly right now. I will update tomorrow or as soon as I have more news.
