    Everydog is different too. Shadow basically throws up every day or every other day. Sugar may throw up once a week or sometimes more often.

    usually food. I started giving her biscuits throughout the day and she hasn't thrown up since last week. Again, its been nice out too so its possible I just did see her.

    IMO, throwing up food is more serious than throwing up bile. The latter is usually what we see with the empty tummy syndrome. But if they are throwing up food, there might be something more serious going on. Could be the flu, or a partial intestinal blockage. If it doesn't clear up soon, I would definitely get her in for a check.

    Well I fed my dog that ceasar wet food cause I couldn't get to the spurmarket (yes I'm a bad mom) plus we fed him some of our fast food hamburger yesturday and today he vomited bile. I used to feed my toy poodle mighty dog and he didn't have a problem (now I'm the wiser), could this just be a B thing?

    I've got a call into the vet. She threw up again this morning. It was mostly liquified food. Its odd, some times she starts the whole smiling face look but if I catch her in time and pet her, she often stops. I noticed this when I grabbed her and ran with her to the door once…. maybe she just likes to barf on the carpet only.

    can dogs get a stomach virus from humans? my B has been throwing up though I think it might be due to a new treat i started giving him. I am going to stop and see if it clears up. he throws up food but today he threw up immediatly following the treat. Other then that he seems fine.

    Jazzy has thrown up in the morning a couple of times – she is so awesome, she tries to wait until I get the back door open and then bolts out to throw up in the yard :-) -- anyway, this is yellow bile-y stuff , but there are chunks of the new treats I've been giving them at bedtime.

    Actually, it's Carry-outs, which I give them every night in their crates, but a different flavor. I usually get the beef or cheese ones, but last week I accidentally grabbed pizza flavor. They are even shaped differently.

    Once was okay, but this is now twice. She won't be getting any more of those treats.

    When they don't eat/drink or everything you give them is coming up for more the 12 to 24 hours…. you must be careful about dehyration....

    Nope, any dog any age can be trained and desensitized. In fact it hit me, Kathy Diamond Davis has had dogs with seizures. You can email her, tell her I sent you, if you need help. Kathy is great with sensitive dogs. KDiamondD@aol.com Noise Phobia (web page makes half the script black unless you highlight), can use same method for all loud noises including the motor cycle. I'd actually go out and TAPE it, start playing really low. http://companionanimalsolutions.com/blogs/tips-for-dog-owners-noise-phobia/ http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?c=1+1551&aid=2545 http://dogbuilders.com/articles/2009/01/noise-phobias.html Counterconditioning: Using counterconditioning, the animal is taught to display an acceptable behavior rather than an unacceptable one as a response to a certain stimulus. In this way, a negative stimulus can become associated with a positive event. For instance, the only time the pet gets his most favorite treat, game, or toy, is just prior to and during a thunderstorm. Dogs who enjoy traveling may be taken for a car ride, or cats who love catnip, may be given their favorite catnip mouse. (Dogs who enjoy swimming will need to wait inside until the storm is over!) After a time, the pet will start associating an oncoming storm with getting to have his favorite thing. Desensitization: Using desensitization, the animal's response is decreased while he is exposed to increasing levels of the fear-producing stimulus. For noise phobias, the animal is taught to be calm when the noise level is low, and then the noise level is gradually increased. This process is generally more successful in dogs than cats. To desensitize a pet to thunderstorms: 1. Obtain a commercial tape or CD of a storm, or tape record one yourself (commercial products generally work better). Play the recording at normal volume to determine if it will induce the fear response. If it does, continue with the desensitization; if not, you will need to obtain a different recording. For some animals, a recording alone may not work, since there may be a combination of occurrences that provokes fear, e.g.; thunder plus lightning or changes in barometric pressure. For these animals, darkening the room and adding strobe lights may more closely mimic the storm, and may need to be included in the desensitization process. 2. Play the recording at a volume low enough that the pet is aware of the sound, but it does not induce a fear response. For instance, the ears may be ****ed towards the source of the sound, but you still have the pet's attention. In some instances, that may mean the pet needs to be in a different room from where the recording is playing. While the recording is playing at the low level, engage the pet in an activity in which you give the commands, such as obedience training or performing tricks. Give food or other rewards during the activity when the pet accomplishes what he is supposed to. If the animal shows signs of fear, stop and try again the next day, playing the recording at an even lower level. It is important that the pet not be rewarded while he is fearful or anxious. Sessions should last about 20 minutes. 3. If the animal does not respond fearfully, during the next session, increase the volume slightly. Again, involve the pet in an activity and reward it for obeying commands. Continue increasing the volume gradually for each session. If the pet starts to show fear, decrease the volume. Repeat the sessions in various rooms of the house and with various family members present. 4. When the pet does not show fear when the recording is played at a loud volume, you may want to try playing the recording for a short time while you are absent. Gradually increase the time you are gone while the recording is playing. 5. When the pet appears to have lost his fear, the sessions can be reduced to one per week. In most instances, these sessions will need to be repeated weekly for the life of the pet. 6. During an actual storm, use the same activities and rewards you used in the training sessions. To increase the chances of successful desensitization, the training process should take place during a time of the year when the actual noise will not be encountered: if the pet is afraid of thunder or fireworks, try desensitization during the winter; if afraid of gunshots, the training should take place outside of the hunting season. In most instances, it is best to discontinue any behavior-modifying medications during the desensitization process. Consult with your veterinarian before discontinuing any medications.

    Job wise, so far so good. We won't have a final notice until the week of the 5th. Fingers crossed they don't eliminate my position, although with 14 year under my belt I have enough seniority to bump someone else. I'd hate to do it but all districts are 'pinking'. There will be no openings in Illinois. Plus my district won't pay out accumulated sick days so I'd be giving up almost a year of retirement in sick pay alone. Fingers crossed. In the mean time, I'm enjoying my spring break, catching up on some reading, and watching my 2 beasts nap the day away on the sofa:). Looks good!! I might just join them:D.

    Though my dogs have not had a reaction to a vaccine, I tend to err on the side of caution when it comes to vaccines. I would rather give a benadryl to help prvent a reaction then wait and hope for the best. I say this because my cat had a severe vaccine reaction after his rabies shot. Within 20 minutes of the shot he was vomiting, the hair at the vaccination site fell out and the site became swollen. We had to rush him back to the vet to be treated for the reaction.

    @lvoss: Do you mean Dick Van Patten's Natural Balance? Which formula are you feeding? They are a good food but their organic formulas do have grains which may not agree with all dogs. Even with good foods some dogs will do better on one formula and not on another. Too true Lisa! My Boxenji does pretty good on the Natural Balance fish and Sweet potatoe but cannot take the Duck and potato.
