Oreo hasn’t been eating for the last 3 days
He went for a groom yesterday and has been wafting weird
He threw up on me
Not his usual yellow throw up but this time it was white and thick like slime
I showered him and he’s been shaking
Covered him with a bed sheet and he’s calmed down
Make him some white rice and chicken
He only ate a few pieces of chicken and avoided the rice and didn’t eat
It sounds like Oreo is having a tough time, and I understand how concerning it can be when your pet shows signs of distress. Let's go over a few things that might help you manage the situation at home:
Firstly, it's possible that Oreo's shaking and unusual behavior could be due to stress from grooming. Dogs can sometimes become quite stressed during grooming sessions. You've done well by keeping him calm and comfortable with the bed sheet.
Regarding the vomiting, the white, thick vomit might suggest an upset stomach or potentially something more serious like gastritis. Since this vomit is different from what you usually see, it's crucial to monitor him closely.
It's encouraging that he ate a few pieces of chicken. You might want to offer him small amounts of bland food, such as boiled chicken and rice, later on. Often, dogs need a bit of time to regain their appetite after experiencing an upset stomach.
Ensuring Oreo stays hydrated is also very important. Offer him small amounts of water frequently, and if he's reluctant to drink, you could try giving him ice cubes to lick.
Keep an eye out for any additional symptoms, such as diarrhea, lethargy, or continued vomiting. These could indicate a more serious issue.
Given that Oreo has been refusing food for three days and has vomited, it's essential to keep a close watch on him. If he continues to refuse food, vomits again, or shows signs of lethargy or other unusual behavior, it would be best to seek veterinary care promptly. These symptoms can sometimes indicate underlying issues that need professional attention.
If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please don't hesitate to ask. Thank you.
