Poor Bruno threw up about a handful of carrots and then basically tipped over.. he then pee and pooped on himself. I called a 24 hour vet and the woman who answered wasn't very helpful at all and told me that maybe it was just something he ate and not to worry about it unless he's still throwing up in the morning. He wasn't moving earlier but now he sort of is. He's just laying here shivering.. should I be worry? Am I overreacting? Has this happened to anyone before? I don't know whether or not I should take him to the vet. I don't really want to since they didn't seem to be very helpful but I'm so worried and there isn't another vet close by. Someone.. anyone help!

hI...How old is he ? That vet should have told you to bring him in....That's what I would have done !!

if he fell over and is shivering - that could be a number of things - possibly low blood sugar - but PLEASE find vet if he's still doing this - Do you have Nutrical or Karo Syrup ? I hope by the time you read this he's feeling better

I'm with V. Get him into the Vet. At the very least they can get some fluids into him.

Good luck. I hope your furbaby is fine. It's better to be safe than sorry!

Me, too. I would just take him right in. I don't believe this would be normal for any type/size of dog. It sounds like he may be having a reaction to something. Sometimes when you call into a vet, you are talking to a receptionist who isn't a tech and isn't a vet and really doesn't know what they are talking about. Always err on the side of caution. Hope your little guy gets better soon.

IluvLucy · 08-16-2006, 02:53 AM

Oh, take him in! That would scare me to death. I hope he feel better really quickly.

It could have been some sort of siezure. It sounds like a siezure to me because of the urinating and deficating. Usually, when they have a siezure they lose control of those things. I would absolutely take him to the vet!

Patti · 08-16-2006, 05:46 AM

Please get him in now! They can get worse so quickly. Keep us posted.

doortego · 08-16-2006, 06:03 AM

Give him nutrical & head for the vet. If that was your vet you talked to, I would be looking for another one soon.

rosesmom · 08-16-2006, 06:10 AM

Oh I'm so sorry. I hope it turns out ok.

Lacy's Mom · 08-16-2006, 07:36 AM

Give Nutrical, Karo (corn syrup), or honey - Head to the vet immediately. Sounds like a seizure, but I had one have seizures due to hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Hope everything is okay, please keep us posted.

I agree with SpicesMOM. A low blood sugar attack usually doesn't produce "loss of control".....

Hope Bruno is doing better. Keep us posted.

Lexi Rae · 08-16-2006, 08:32 AM

of course take him to the vet right this minute.... something has to be wrong.
the dog is shaking, that alone, just go go go

Keebler · 08-16-2006, 09:02 AM

I totally agree with everyone else. Take him to the vet, you dont wanna take any chances.

Nikki+2 · 08-16-2006, 09:21 AM

Is Bruno okay now?

PLEASE TAKE HIM TO THE VET IMMEDIATELY!!! I dont mean to scare you but Gucci had the same symptoms throwing up, shaking and falling. Except she didnt lose control of her bodily functions.When I got her there her sugar was down to 50 should be 100.. She was hypoglemcic.. Give her nutri cal on the way to vets. Keep us posted...
