Oh Debih I'm so pleased she's kept the food down, I know how dreadful it is. I know the vet is a professional but I'm afraid I just didn't understand why egg...hopefully the rice and chicken will help.
I'm sure word will get around, but as you said in the first place, it could so easily have been a child - even one of his own.

I spoke too soon.

I've just given her another small amount of rice and chicken and up it came. When it comes up it is completely encased in a white foamy mucus.

Oh well, off to the vet tomorrow.

Debih I can only say, I know how worrying it is, but, she's doing well, she's obviously feeling better in herself.
This is just a side issue, something that needs sorting out, and will hopefully be fine in a day or three...

Thanks Di. Its so worrying.

It doesn't help that Mick is going to be away in Scotland tomorrow for a week and I am so hoping that it isn't something really serious that I have to deal with whilst he is away and he has to hear over the phone.

I'm sure it is something quite simple - I know the vets thought it was probably a reaction to the tablets, although she came off one lot on Thursday and then they told us to stop the other lot on Saturday morning so I don't know how long it takes for them to come out of her system.

The strange thing is that she seems fine in herself - she doesn't seem in any pain other than when she eats and wants to throw it back up again.

Hopefully Debih, the fact Millie seems ok in herself is a good sign.

Big hugs to you all. x

Poor, poor girl...she's had such a rough few weeks. It does sound promising that she's active and interested though. Hopefully it is just the tablets ((((Millie & Debbie))))
I know we were advised by our vet to give Billy a small amount of rice and, if he tolerated that, to add a little chicken to it when he had a poorly tummy just after we got him.

I think it is all to do with the amount of painkillers she has had Debih.

As you all know my cat was very seriously ill recently and believe me, he didn't want to play or even move he felt too ill.

I really think she will be fine, but I hope they can sort it quickly to stop that horrid worrying

Deb when you described the vomiting I thought that sounds just like our old Newfoundland. He was exactly the same, vomiting white froth when he ate, but in between fine. It turned out he had developed an ulcer from eating a peach stone. It stayed in his stomach so long the stomach acids caused an ulcer trying to digest it. So I went and googled and look

Bacteria are often the cause of ulcers in humans, but ulcers in dogs are not generally believed to be caused by stomach bacteria-although Helicobacter species have been found in dogs. The usual cause in dogs is corticosteroids or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin and ibuprofen. Dogs are even more susceptible than people to the ulcer-producing effects of these drugs.

I really think this is the problem and she needs an antacid to sort it
