I'll get right to it;
Wednesday night Rocco threw up a little bit but everything else seemed normal so we just throught it was a minor stomach upset and kept an eye on him.
Well, Thursday morning he wouldn't eat his food (normally when we put it down and tell him its ok, his food is gone in 2 seconds)
He'd go back and forth to it throughout the day and take little nibbles so then we knew something was up.
Thursday night he threw up 5 times in a row... the first 4 times was the food he'd been trying to put down throughout the day and the last time was bile.
We immediately made a vet appt.
Friday morning the vet took blood and tested it and everything was clear, felt around his belly, didnt find anything unusual, took his temperature, it was normal. So she gave him a shot to help if there is any stomach pain, a white liquid to coat his stomach and pills we are to give him once a day for 5 days. (The medicine is called ranitidine)
Since then he hasn't thrown up at all but he still isnt eating. Well, he still goes to take a nibble here and there but it's not normal. Sometimes he gets a little shakey too.
We havent drastically changed his diet in any way. The only thing we have done is take him off puppy and move him to all life stages. Same brand (orijen) and we incorporated it slowly so as to not cause any upsets.
He still runs around and plays, he's not lethargic or anything
Does anyone have any advice or insight as to what this may be?
Is it just taking a few days for things to get back to normal?
Please help!
