| What's w/ Dudley Doo??? Hope someone can give me some advice.. Sat morning he woke up he refused to eat (at first) walking around the house like he was in pain. His stomach was "growling", his poo was normal and he never got sick and actually ended up eating... Sunday-ok Monday-same as Saturday morning. Today same tas yesterrday except he hasn't eaten anything yet...Hss stomach is really growling, he can't seem to get comfotable, i.e,walking around??? What's w/ my BUB? We are flying out of town Thursday morning He has not gotten sick at all, I'm really not sure if it's "just a bug"???

| Bowing sometimes means they want to play?? Does not sound like that is what he is doing. As for the yawning, I do know they will do that when they are stressed. Something about it helps to calm the system down. I would call the vet and ask. You certainly don't want to wait and then have a sick pupster on Thursday. Good luck!

| Since this has been ongoing and also since a holiday is coming up its best to get him checked by a vet right away. If nothing else it will ease your mind

| I would def. get him checked out since youre leaving. It sounds like an upset tummy to me. Has he been eating the same food for a while or is it new? Ive heard of giving a little pepcid for upset tummies but i have never tried it. Cant hurt to check with the vet. |

| It does sound like he is coming down with a tummy issue. He probably needs to go to the vet today~especially since you are leaving town on Thursday AND the holiday coming up on Sunday as well. Better to be safe.

| I'd get him to the vets ASAP. With pancreatitis being prevalent in this breed, you need to have this ruled out.

| My thoughts exactly. Please get him to the vet now, before your trip. |

| I forgot to mention earlier, we noticed some pollyfilling in the living room from one of his toys, thought maybe could have swallowed some, that toy was already pitched in the trash last night I just got back from ER vet went there instead because they are closer than his regular vet.. I told them everything and they took x-rays, they showed allot of gas inside and no real blockage, the pockets of gas they thought could also be some of the polly filling because its so fine. Took him home gave him some pepcid, he ate a little bit of tuna, (just enough to get him to take it) we’ll see what tonight brings when I get home... Vet mentioned she wanted me to give him (don't remember RX name of can food) but i refused b/c i don't want to switch his diet up, especially since we’re going out of town. He was one to never do well with food change, so I chose to leave well enough alone, I might add some tuna to his food later and see how he dose later.

| Oh my! Hope he passes everything... She probably wanted him on W/D, to increase the fiber in his diet to help get things moving along. Maybe call and ask if there's anything you could add to his regular diet that would help, if you're not opposed to this idea.... that way you wouldn't be changing out his entire diet... If you call... ask about using Mylecon (simethicone) drops for gas... in case he gets too uncomfortable. I'll keep him in my prayers for a speedy recovery..., and have a nice trip!

| Yes, that is the food W/D, she did mention adding pumpkin to his regular diet, so I'll be stopping for it. One thing she said would be ok, that (from reading on YT) is not ok, is the pumpkin pie filling, I asked about organic and she said I wouldn't be able to find it and to use pie filling for now....We'll see what i find, didn't think teh spices woudl settle well with his ALREADY upset system, I'll ask about those drops, THANKS KJC
