    Glad he is gettign better. There does seem to be something going around as I had this with Ralph last week. He looked like he was at death's door one day, throwing up everything he ate then just bringing up yellow froth and not drinking - one injection and he was pretty much back to normal the next day :) The thing is, my vet now charges for check ups! I didnt know that. So, injection and "bring him back tomorrow" - 10 seconds in the vets and another £25!

    Thanks hethmar :)

    I suppose it's just like when a human picks up a sickness bug isn't it!?

    It was awful when he was being sick, but then he was trying to eat it before he had got it out of his mouth, he is a strange one lol.

    I hope my vet doesn't charge so much - Bully went once on Monday, then on Tuesday and he is going back tomorrow and has had one injection and some tablets, oh well..just means my dad won't get his rent ;)

    cost isn't really an issue when you think about it though is it, yes you may worry about how to pay for it but i would worry about that later and sacrifice something else to make sure my dogs were ok!!
    The more one gets to know of men, the more one values dogs.

    Mutt does that as well, mucky animal. Mind you a self cleaning dog does save having to do so much clearing up afterwards.

    She's a complete scavenger, so stomach upsets are the norm in this house - completely self inflicted so she gets no sympathy at all. Although a couple of times when I've had to starve for 48 hours (vets advice at the time) I've caved in after 36 because I just can't stand the looks and harassment any longer. :rotfl:
    Glad yours is feeling better now.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.
