Titan vomited last Wed night on his blanket on the couch, it was just a little and then he vomited quite a bit last night in his kennel. I felt bad that he had to try to find a clean spot on his blankets. Poor lil guy. Wed night, he had a few strips of cooked carrots and a very small wedge of cooked potato that I shared with him from my dinner. He only had his kibble and a teaspoon of canned food last night. He eats Blue Buffalo Basics Limited ingredient kibble & their canned food. He is drinking some water, doesn't want to eat and has normal stools. Is there anything that I can try for his tummy, like ginger? I've read to give him some rice with boiled chicken or chicken broth. Not sure if I should take him to the vet or just see how he does over the weekend. He seemed fine Thursday, just not wanting to play too hard with the cat. Pretty much sleeping today as anyone would that doesn't feel well. Ideas?  Has anyone else had to deal with this problem and if so, what helped your lil one? |

Sorry to hear he's feeling unwell. Its always a worry with these little ones!
I don't know what food that is but I'd definitely not give him carrot or potato. I would try the plain boiled chicken with no rice.
How are his stools? Is he going as usual? You said he's drinking lots which is good as you don't want him to get de-hydrated.
What is he vomiting? Bile or actually undigested food? Is his belly tender or does he seem to be in pain?
Has he been anywhere different or eaten something he doesn't usually?
Personally I would've already been at the vets but thats just because I'm a bit of a worrier haha. I would just keep a very close eye on him and look out for any changes and if he's still not right, take him in on Monday.
We have a few members who know lots of natural remedies for sickness etc so they might be able to help but of course, without knowing what the cause is, there's no way to say for certain.

He's doing much better today. Had a little rice and chicken and lots to drink. Normal stools. He vomited two meals and then late yesterday some grass.
The only difference was I watched my son's lab Saturday thru Monday night. Not sure with them drinking out of the same bowl of water. I changed it often.
As I am writing this, he had some dry heaves in his bed. Just came in from outside. I saw him eating a little grass.
a friend said to give him some ginger but didn't say how. Raw, boiled, or ??
If he's not better Monday, I will certainly take him in.

Thanks Sarah. I'll get that tomorrow. How much do you give them. Titan threw up his dinner tonight too. I'll take up all his food. I have ginger root in raw form, but have no idea how to cook it to give it to him. If there is a vet open on Sunday, I'll take him in to be checked to make sure there isn't something in his stomach blocking food from getting down. Although, he has had some normal bowel movements and urinating fine. Kinda frustrating when they can't tell you what's up. :-(

Thanks Sarah! It is a little weird. Titan seems to only be getting sick at night after dinner.
