Okay Mr. Harry, let's figure out wjat's causing yor tummy to be upset, okay? Certainly pukimg AND having a yucky feeling tummy can wear a big boy like you out!

It REALLY probably is just another bump in the road and something your vet can pinpoint pretty quickky.

I know a couple of wees ago he had a "bump" and felt better, so this is probavly the same.......jist part of the ups and downs.

I know your vet eliminated any of the meds "not likely" causing any sysmptons last time, but this timeit does seem to be more gastro-related and "could" be med related......just throwing that out there.

Additionally, if he has another inner ear infection, goodness knows that could make you vomit and not feel like moving.

I KNOW this is soooooo hard, but as Megan said, many times during the 'down" part, she thought it might be the end...took it day by day...and many ti es Sam went back into the "up" part again!

For me, if I'm questioning if it's time...it isn't. Almost always, at some point, the dogs made their decsion known to me in some form or another. It was like, okay, now "X" has happened and that would sorta' be them telling me what they wanted. It wasn't always that clear and so etimes I would second guess...should I have waited...should I have done it sooner. I've just come to the conclusion that whenever you do "it"...that was what was needed for their well-being and just TRUST that to be true.

Back to magnificent Harry! Yeah, get the vet to check him out. I know you mentioned it had been hot in Brisbane in another post, so that could take a toll too when vomiting! It just sounds like he's got GI issues. Is it possible he got "into so ething"? Any kind of carcess or anything like that?

Stay in the moment, o,ay? Harry's not worried, he just loves being withyou! Even if he's tired and has an upset tummy, I bet he still likes snuggling with you.....yeah, go snuggle that big boy! You both will feel better!

O,ay, we've got all tripawd paws crossed over here and that's a lot of pawsitivity!!

Sending you love and peace and huge hugs!

Okay, good, he ate some puppy food! And he is just one GIANT puppy, that's for sure!

Ya' know, I think yojr "feeling" that so etimes a vet can cnvey a "given up" attitdue is correct. It's certainly t intentional, thatsf for sure- I think someti es they feel k da' helpless too with this piece of crap disease

If I recall, didn't your vet just sort of "rule out" tjat it wasn't the meds last time and didn't reallh do any tests? I could be completely wrong, butit seems like I remember thinking "but you didn't do any tests". I mean, of Harry didn't ave this particular health issue, I would thin they would do all sorts of tests to see if he sprained something,or ate something causing him to vomit, etc.

Sooooooo jere's my point.....I would either get a seo d opinion ......YAAAAAAAAY for seco d opinio s!! Or' I wold just be real clear to your regular vet that 's real important to you right now to determne if there are anyother causes. Again, a "second opinion vet" may be a good idea and more open to seeing if there are otjer issues.

Now, of course it goes wthout saying.....I'M NO VET" It just seems to me that with a dog throwing up his food with slime, lethergic and on meds that "could" cause stomach upset, would at least maybe try tapering off on some of the drigs...if not all...for a few days (if can do so safely), take temperature, bloodwork, etc. to rule out infection. Heck, he could have picked up some bacteria when he was swimming.....and certainly could have aggravated his inner ear problem if he got water in them.

How is his "attitude"? Not in pain, right? Just very tired? Is he engaged..interacting with you..tail wags...or whatever his "normal" behavior would be as far as those things go? If so eone rang the doorbell would he perk up his ears, etc (id he usualy does)?

Hang in there Michelle! See if you can get another opinion or get your regular vet to be open to the possibilities of other causes. I guess going back to your origi al question...vomiting, not eating, overall lethargice...seems like it coild be an intestinal issue to me.

As usual, sorry for my bad typing...and then add to it this tablet skips "n"..adds "M" when I hit the space bar...and no matter how many times I accurately type a "h", it types a "j" and a "," for a "k" Jist thought I'd through that little "tablet tid bit" out there to keep your mind off things

Sending you and Harry sooooooooo much love and healing energy. Post as soon as you can! We're with you.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY HARRY

Okay, we always jave to sau we're not vets..HOWEVER...we've earned a Master's Degree from the "Uniiversity of First Hand Experience" when it comes to this journey! And kt's a University none of us wanted to attened and there were certainly no Scholarships offered either! You are a GREAT advocate for Harry and good for you for getting them to run "regular tests"! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY MOM

EVERYTHING CHECKS OUT GOOD?? That calls for another YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY HARRY

Yeah, as I mentioned in your earlier post, "cast iron stomach" Hapoy Hannah can't take meloxicam because it upsets her tummy. Cat poop? No problem!

And the fact that Harry's still so engaged and involved in life! Yes indeedy, we eed another YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY HARRY

I am soooooo happy to see this update! Now, the other chemo meds could still be causing his tummy upset too. So, that's always something to considerif his energy doesn't pick up or if his tummy still bothers him. Heck, big boy like that could easilypull or strain something and not feel like takng a swim!

OMD! We have got to have a picture of Harry swimming!! Heck, we'll settle for any pictures!!

Now go treat yourself to some ice cream and give Harry a bowl too! Smiling over here!! HUGE smile!!

Lots of love to you voth!
