Tucker is sick with stomach issues, and I am a nervous wreck! It started yesterday morning when he sat in the other room while I prepared their morning meal. I sat his bowl down, and he did not immediately go to it. He eventually forced himself to eat it. Sophie is always ready to eat, but she only ate half of her food. Fortunately, she has had no other symptoms. Tucker, however, threw up his breakfast about an hour and a half later. He drank some water a little later, and then threw up his supper from the night before. Tucker also pooped three times, instead of his usual one time in the morning. He was a little more sluggish than usual, but nothing obvious. For his evening meal, I fed him pumpkin, rice and a raw egg. He is allergic to chicken, so I thought the egg would be good protein. Well, about an hour and a half later, he spit up some liquid with a bit of rice. This morning, I fed him more pumpkin and rice, with beef broth. On the ride in to work, he threw up again. When we got to work, he pooped diahrea, and stayed stooped over for a long time. He then walked a few feet and put his butt on the ground, not dragging it, but acting like he was trying to get something out. He then stooped over again, but nothing came out. He is now just resting, nothing too unusual.
I have made an appointment for the local vet at 1:30, but I have no confidence in them. Should I ask for an x-ray or what? The vet I prefer is an hour and a half away, and they close before I could get there today. Please let me know what I can do for my boy. Thanks!
