Jasmine Was Sick :(

So Jasmine wasn’t feeling so hot two days ago. I had brought her in from playing outside in the front yard, and she came in for a drink, but spit it all out about 20 seconds later. So we took her outside and she immediately started eating grass like crazy!

She threw up about 6 times in 30 minutes, and kept eating grass, and she couldn’t even hold down water. Her little tummy was so small without anything in it. All the rest of that day she would throw up (water) every hour or so. She was so miserable, it was no fun.

So a night in her kennel (and a few throw ups more) and we gave her a little bit of dog food the next morning. She drank quite a bit, and could hold it down. She wasn’t too interested in the dog food, but she did finally eat some… and promptly gave it back about 10 minutes later. But at least she could drink water.

She slept a lot, and we took her over to my dad’s house where she found some energy and was happy (and thin). I started eating some Hawaiian bread and she really wanted that, so we gave her a bit and she kept it down. So when we got back home, we gave her some chicken noodle soup, and she ate it so fast the cat couldn’t even get at it.

So, this morning, she had more chicken soup and was full of energy. Until we went outside… where she decided to eat more grass… and throw it up again. Poor puppy! She’s getting better though.

The only thing I can think of what it could be is that I sprayed the yard for insects, and she licked it all up. I waited the said amount of time for it to dry, but obviously she can still lick it up. I’ve since watered the yard to get the stuff down into the dirt.

    Better be careful… she might have parvo. Watch out for diahrea. It’s been really bad lately in Texas, and if she hasn’t had her booster shots… Well it’s a very VERY dangerous and fatal disease. She most likely wouldn’t survive.

    Good luck.
