It all started the day after New Years...My boyfriend took the day off of work (luck him) and he stayed home with Brady all day. He kept on pooping and throwing up. I was concerned so I took him to the vet when I got home from work. There was a chance that he had eaten part of a rock, so they did an x-ray just to make sure. They put him on special food to help his tummy and some meds to make things go along better. He's all done with that now, and he had gotten a little bit better with the poo, it was soft but kinda formed. All of this probably doesn't related to each other, but it's just odd...
Well, Friday morning when he pooed, I saw a piece of string in his poo (probably almost a food long) I was like wow, I'll really have to keep an eye on him with his rope toy. Well, I guess he went to that potty during lunch time and it was "nasty" and my boyfriend's brother said. Then, when I got home from work, I went by the front door to check and see if any packages have come by and I looked at the rug by the front door, and there was almost a whole row that had gone bald in it (it's like one of the cheep rugs that have the kinda rubber bottom, and it's like a burber or whatever you call it, you pull on a loose string and it just keeps going) I guess this is what he got into. I have no idea how much of it he ate. So I called my friend who's studding to be a vet. She wasn't sure how much he ate and if he'd be able to pass it or not so she said I should call my vet just to see. Well, that's what I did. She asked me all the normal questions, how's he eating, drinking, is he tired and so on. Everything seems to be normal with his attitude. She just told me to watch out for throw up. That if he throws up, I need to come in.
Well, anyway, Brady got up 4 times in the middle of the night crying to go out (I made my boyfriend do it, and then he stepped in it, so there were poop marks all over the place on the carpet in the morning that I had to clean) He didn't go again until about 3 today, and he's been going out a few times tonight. I'm not sure if I should skip his breakfast tomorrow to let everything work it's way out. I also have switched food too, so that could be part of it. I am not sure what to do! He is now eating wellness, he seems to like it, but he hasn't had a firm poo since i switched to it (i did do it over 2 weeks, but in the middle of it, i had to feed him the special food from the vet) I'm not sure if I should try something different, or give it a chance. Any advice would be great. also, i might be going over to my boyfriend parents house tomorrow night, they have two dogs, and i'm not sure if i should bring Brady. I know why he's not feeling well, so I'm not sure. it's up to them too.
sorry for the long post, and thank you for reading and listening to my story.
