Poor Duke! I am sure he will be fine! Just keep an eye on him. Samson gets sick to his stomach from time to time. You just need to know how to handle it. I make sure I don't feed Samson again for at least several hours after then when I do feed him again I give him a small portion to make sure he can keep that down. Then another small portion several hours later (bland diet is good for an upset tummy). Pedialyte is great if they throw up multiple times. The vomiting dehyrates them so they want to drink alot then often when they drink alot they get over full and throw up again and the cycle goes like that, dangerous cycle. So if Samson throws up multiple times I take away his regular water and give him pedialyte, he is a brat and won't drink it on his own though. I have to give it to him in a medicine dropper, such a baby LOL Just want to throw this stuff out there because I have rushed Samson to the vet a few months after I got him for throwing up multiple times, spent a bunch of money to find out there was nothing they could find wrong with him. So now I have my own procedure and just keep an eye on him.

Poor Duke, his tummy must really fell bad to keep him from lying down, hope he feels better soon.

Hope all is well with Duke....Zoey has done this a couple times, first time have no idea what it was second spent hours at the vet nothing for sure was found treated as an infection but come to find out we are pretty sure it was all because she had eaten a sock, she threw it up a week after she had been at the vet.

Awwww, poor Duke! I hope he is okay. Frank went through a couple of days a few weeks ago where he threw up about 8 times in a two day period. We had no idea and were so worried, but it passed. We wondered if he had just gotten a doggie stomach virus or something. We are sending all our best thoughts your way!

Hi everyone we just got in 11:20 here.. well the good news is Duke does not have an obstruction which was my biggest fear! they did xrays , a rectal exam , temperature, and bloodwork.. bottom line he has a very bad viral infection .. they were actually pleased with his xrays said he had a lot of gas but nothing they are worried about. they gave him pepcid, a medication to help him feel better and stop vomitting and a shot that keeps him from dehydrating. he has finally after almost 15 hours laid down and fell asleep ..my poor baby had a rough night but I am happy we took him. we have to give him 1/4 cup of water every 2 hours tomorrow until 6 pm then if he keeps down start the bland diet.. thank you all so much for your well wishes and good thoughts.. what would I do without this site!!
