I just wish it hadn't come at 5:45 in the morning, or in the way that it
did. It wasn't that long ago that I posted about how Khan has never
thrown up before. Well, now he has. The good news is, Khan signals to
let us know that he needs to puke. The bad news is that we weren't
nearly quick enough to get him out the door before he did. There was a
certain amount of urgency in his whining, but the logistics involved in
getting dressed, hunting around for collars, leashes, etc. took entirely
too much time.

Now, what do you guys ordinarily do after your dog throws up? Called
the vet, and they said to keep an eye on him, not feed him till this
evening, and to call them again if he throws up some more, or acts
lethargic. There was a little bit of dark stuff in his vomit, which may
be the toad he mouthed last night before bed time. It is also possible
that it is a little bit of blood. He basically wants to sleep a lot -
no problem with walking or anything, just doesn't seem to want to exert
himself, and didn't bug me for food. I really wish I knew what brought
this on.

Get up earlier. : )

Look at him, check to see that all is OK.Look at the throw up.

Called
the vet, and they said to keep an eye on him, not feed him till this

Oohhhh now that could be the problem.

It is also possible

I think you should bring him to the vet.
There is throw up and then there is throwup.

Blood in throw up isn't a good thing,as you know. Also The toad could have
poisoned him.


What do his gums look like?

Clean up.

My dogs rarely puke, and when they do I take a look at what
came up, the dog's overall demeanor (does he seem generally
out-of-sorts or is he behaving normally?), and water
consumption when deciding whether or not to call the vet.

Not a morning person, Paulette. And when you've been up till 3:00 in
the morning or so for the past few days, getting up that early can be a
real problem.

Oohhhh now that could be the problem.

Thankfully, no poisonous toads in this region, it seems. It may have
irritated him slightly, but definitely not enough to cause serious damage.

Blood in throw up isn't a good thing,as you know. Also The toad could have
poisoned him.

Talked to the vet again. His gums are pink, the amount of blood (if
that's what it was) was miniscule and brown. He said to watch him, and
if he doesn't act more energetic (there's a car ride coming up, so we'll
see) by this evening, to bring him in.

What do his gums look like?

His gums are mostly very dark, so it's hard to tell, but what there is
that is light in color looks pink.
