Keep Smiling!

A sickie dog: Willow had a rough night ... she woke me up - I dont recall what time - because she'd thrown up in her crate a few times. I let her out, and she wanted to eat grass. I cleaned up the crate, and she came inside and threw up the grass. Back outside she went, where she threw up a few more times, while I cleaned the carpet. When she was ready to come in, I put her back in her crate, where she took a nap.

That seems to have been the end of it. She drank some water, then I gave her a little bit of food when I got the other dogs up for breakfast. She kept it down ... so I gave her a little bit more about an hour later. She ate eagerly, which she doesnt usually do when these tummy problems act up ... she'll usually refuse food, which makes things worse.

She's eaten some more, drank some water, had a fairly normal day up to this point (it's about 11:30am now). I've had a huge sense of dread since the wee hours of the morning because I know if I have to take her to the emergency room for another one of these 'attacks' where she drops 20-30 pounds in a day or two ... it's highly likely that she wont be coming back. I've been trying to face that.
