It's hard to say, as he can be pretty sneaky about going off to pee in a corner. But I haven't actually noticed him having any accidents in a couple of days. There hasn't been anymore vomiting and he's been eating fine.

Flip, on the other hand, spent the time while Colby was sick following him around and marking on top of the spots Colby left behind. And now Flip has decided it's just cool to continue marking those spots in the house. So I'm going to have to do some serious cleaning and really stay on top of him so I can catch him in the act. I sure don't want that to become a long term problem.

Well apparently I spoke too soon because he just threw up and I gave him a milkbone but he's just sitting next to it, not eating it.

Oh no, so sorry Colby's not doing better.

I have no idea what's going on with him, but I'll say that when I switched Ranger back to a grain food (Acana Light and Fit), he started picking at his kibble within days. He started doing poorly and in the third week of feeding to him, he started throwing up yellow bile, then undigested (12 hours after feeding) pieces of kibble. I swapped off the grain kibble to a grain free he'd previously done well on (Evo) and his symptoms immediately stopped.

Is the kibble a new kind? Has he had it before and done well on it? Hope you get things figured out and that he feels better soon!

I think the vomiting and not eating are unrelated to the infection. It's always just yellow bile he's throwing up, I'd be more worried if he were throwing up actual stuff. He hadn't eaten since last night. I need to remember that he has a little tummy that needs filling more often. And I'm pretty sure that the not eating the milk bone was simply because it was a boring milk bone. He sure didn't hesitate in gobbling down a piece of pork steak last night!

yes, I would find anything he likes that he will eat and drink. is he drinking? I'd be worried about dehydration.

Hope he feels better ASAP.

If he has a general lack of interest in eating and is not doing so I might consider giving him a supplement to get some calories into him. I have used a product called Nutri-Cal by Tomlyn that is available in many pet stores. It is a paste. I put it on my fingers and then scrape them clean on the roof of the dog's mouth. It will at least insure that he is getting some nourishment.

Oh he's getting plenty of nourishment. He's been a bit more picky about eating kibble lately but still eats some of it and I feed more raw than kibble anyway and he's eating that just fine. I really think the food issue is more about him waiting out for something better.

They sure know how to worry us, don't they. Sending hugs and prayers that he's on the mend soon.
