He's not doing good

[~WelshStump~]

Thursday afternoon Jinjo through up in the house (big time). Didn't think that much of it, just what he could have gotten into. About an hour later I took him out and he through up again! I gave him some ben. but a few more hours later he did it again!!! At this point I know something is more than wrong with him, so I gave him another ben with some kao and he was fine the rest of the night.

Yesterday morning I had to clean butt, other that that he has not gone #2 since, he was OK other wise the rest of yesterday.

However, he through up again this morning outside twice! He also refused breakfast, eating only half just because people were looking over him, but now he wont eat anything. I tried to give him another ben an hour ago in a meat ball, he wouldn't touch it and then went to the door so I let him out to do it again. So when he got back in I tried to give it to him in peanut butter as always and he wouldn't touch it!

It looks like poop he's bringing up, no moisture, which seems odd because he is drinking about normal. He acts for the most part normal other wise. His ears are also quite red (allergies), which it what my mother says all his problems are.

I want to take him to the vet, but my parents don't! (If they wont, I can't). All I can do is hope he's just constipated and it passes.
He hasn't done doo in aprx 24hours. And as long as I don't feed him he doesn't through up. Guess I'm on poopy patrol now. At this point the only thing I can think of as the problem is he may have gotten into the garbage outside and eaten some chicken wing bones. So, cross all paws for a good poop soon.

What can we say? He needs to get to the vet.

It sounds like a blockage.

Poor Jinjo!

How is Jinjo???

We have success... Sorta. He finally pooped around 6 this morning. Thing it, other than being a little on the firm side it was normal? I smashed the heck out of it and couldn't find a thing?! I really thought he would have had something in there. The reason I worried was, the other week I was doing poopy pick-up in the lawn and found one that had something not right in it. It really to me looked as if he swallowed a piece of great stuff foam is the only way I could describe it, but he's not one to do those things.
I really didn't know, with not keeping food down and not going #2, I was for sure he'd ingested something? I guess it really could have been him just being him. I went through this his entire puppyhood, I mean did I just expect it stop anytime soon?
Right now I've put him off kibble and have been feeding him home-cook I made a few days ago.
You know, I do hope to high heavens that paying initially through the nose for the next dog will mean I don't have to go through more of these problems. You can't guarantee anything, but I will NEVER buy another dog the same way again! Nope, I will be looking carefully, and not going to a BYB again.

Is he still vomitting? Things do get stuck in the GI tract that don't pass through. I'm glad he pooped.

[rubyred]

Glad he pooped!! Has he thrown up any more? Hope he is back to normal soon. Keep us posted.

sounds like a blockage to me as well...if he ate something and its stuck you wont see anything abnormal in his poop...i hope he is ok

Blockages can be bad, from severe pain and it finally passing to surgery, I sure hope the surgery is not needed. Good thoughts for the ailing dog.

Didn't want to jinx myself, but he has been regular once again with the poops (YAY)!
And since the first post he has not yet done "ups" again (thank doG). He does usually through up like this about once a year (after going through this nonstop for about his first two years), but its never more than one, and to not poop in 48 hours isn't good. Still don't know what caused it. If you do go to my "NEED a cat" thread and read, that may have some clues, maybe. I'm now washing his bowls, and will be putting up his food bowl not leaving it on the floor (Blah! dang old farm houses).
