He's not eating AGAIN!! He hasn't had a meal since 11:30 yesterday morning. I gave him some Nutri-Cal about 8:45 p.m. last night so I'm going to give him some more but surely he can't live off this PLUS he has diarrhea now and has thrown up four times just clear spit with some yellow mucus

He just drinks a tiny bit and that's it but he does do that a few times a day. I feel like I spent all that money at the ER for absolutely nothing. Oh, he's just FINE now!! UGH I am forcing him to take Nutri-Cal but I don't think he can do on just that. --- In Chihuahuas@yahoogroups.com,

Since he was at a vet for 24 hours and they still don't seem to really know what's wrong with him, I wonder just how effective that will be. They never really told me what they were testing for, just gave a big list of stuff they did. I do know that they tested his blood sugar and sent him

I think we may go to the vet though because he never is sick during the day. It's always late afternoon and evening and then he's throwing up and diarrhea. He hasn't had a normal stool since he's been home and hasn't eaten but that once just now, seems fine, but then he always does in the

I can't go to the vet who treated him because they are only open on weekends and holidays. It's an emergency vet that did all this work on him. They faxed the papers to his normal vet who referred me to the emergency vet on Saturday night via answering machine. They don't answer their phone

He has diarrhea at night. During the day, he doesn't go at all. He eats in the day and does fine. At night, won't eat and then has diarrhea and throwing up. He's basically doing the same thing he was after just one day home. --- In Chihuahuas@yahoogroups.com, Jen-CA [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Yes they did a fecal on him. I just think they were concentrating on his blood sugar and not worrying about much else. They told me he was having diarrhea before I picked him up but that that was normal since he hadn't had any food in a while. --- In Chihuahuas@yahoogroups.com, Lacey [EMAIL

Yes, he went to the regular vet and we all got home at a little after 6. I took him in about 3:30 and they kept him until close at 6 p.m. and gave subcu fluids. They said he was doing well enough to go home and he does seem well. He's eaten a little bit every hour so far and drank some and
