Yes our sweet adorable 3 year old lhasa shih-tzu pup, Spencer is sick. He has been vomitting & having diaherra since Sat. afternoon. Last night he vomitted several times & I finally told Chris I was calling the vet in the morning, which I did. They told me to bring him on in. So I dropped him off this morning & headed on in to work. The doc called a few minutes ago & said his stool was starting form solids, as it should & he was a little dehydrated (probably from being outside Sat morning in the heat + he can't seem to keep anything down). She also examined his belly & she said he cried while she was touching him, so she is not quite sure what that might be. He may have eaten something odd or his belly may just be sore from being upset. She of course offered to run more tests & xrays which would run our bill up to $525, no thank you. So she went ahead & gave him so fluids & nausa meds. She wants us to watch him the next day or so & as long as he isn't vomitting anymore we can feed him low residue food. Hopefully he will feel better soon, we (actually Chris) are pretty tired of cleaning up dog yack.

Sounds like pancreatitis to me... did he get any table food??? Check out my friend Sarah's blog - her dog pooped a pine cone...
No he doesn't get very much table food. He was in the bushes with Chris Sat. morning while he was putting down weed killer so we think that may be the cause.
