My poor baby is sick!

Our little Kane is sick again! He started throwing up last night around 10 pm and then didn't stop until about 2 am. He threw up again this morning and while I was at work so I took him to the vet today. Poor thing was dehydrated and weak. They really couldn't pin point exactly what was wrong with him. After an x ray they determined he was likely constipated with possibly another ileus developing! (!!) Not good news considering were going out of town tomorrow and will be boarding him.

The vet decided she would give him some anti nausea medicine and some fluid subcutaneously and we would watch him over the next 24 hours. Yeah, fluid subcutaneously. I didn't even know they could do that! They inject some water under his skin and his tissues absorb it! When the vet brought him out to me, he looked like a hunchback or better yet a camel with all that water!


He isn't doing much better. No throwing up but a lot of abdominal pain. We'll keep you posted.
