Our dog Indy, started throwing up two years ago, just before Halloween. We took her to the vet many times over the next two weeks. Each time they came up with many different things it might be. Finally after a really hard night where Indy threw up some nasty ugly thing, I took it with me to the vet the next day.

It was the fuzz out of the dog toys Indy loved to play with. We never realized that she was eating small amounts of the fuzz each time she took one apart. They did surgery and took a huge wad of the fuzz out of Indy. 2500 dollars later Indy is healthy happy dog. It was a lot of money but she was worth every penny. She was only 2 years old at the time so we hope to have her love for many many years to come.

Don’t give up, even the vet might not be able to find out what is wrong with your dog quickly. Also you might try another vet.

Hope your dog gets well soon.

Aww, I hope she feels better soon. I have an older dog, too, and he’s slowly having all of these issues and it’s so much harder being the adult in charge of decisions regarding a pet than I ever imagined.

Oh my…I have been there. I can’t put a price on my pets. I had to put down 2 beloved dogs,one a bull-mastiff and the other a boxer within a week …..one from failing old age and the other a sudden finding of cancer that was inoperable. I was heart-broken and in shock. I did everything I could to make them comfortable …..I did what was best for them…. I pray your Clover will recover and that it is something simple……………….Pets are family too………….

Thank you so much everyonefor your sweet love and prayers for Clover…. thankfully the choking has stopped the last few hours and she seems peaceful…poor baby! ….. she eats 2 times a day and her dish is always empty but it does seem strange that the food goes down ok and not the saliva. We switched her dog food to grain free thinking maybe she was allergic to grains….it hasn’t seemed to make a differance with the vomiting bile…. although it did take away her itchy skin spots like a sweet blogger shared had helped her dog. It just seems like her saliva builds up and has nowhere to go or goes in the wrong place. She is on her second refill of antibiotics because they thought it might have been some sort of bug at first. …so far that hasn’t helped and since the x ray they started coming up with different possible reasons.. You all have been through a lot with your pets…I feel sad when I hear about what some of you have gone through….
Thankfully we have each other to lean on Love you lots! Rene’

Oh Rene! I’m so sorry to hear about Clover’s condition…..we don’t have dogs, but have been in the same position with a cat. It wasn’t until after she was gone that I truly realized how much of a part of our family she was. We now have one 15 year old cat remaining and will have to make some of the same decisions you are faced with sooner than later. I pray for God’s wisdom and comfort no matter what you decide….

Many Blessings,
Melissa

Oh Rene’, I’m so sorry to hear about Clover. He is so cute! I think the name is perfect for him. I’ll be praying that God helps you with the decisions regarding your pup’s health and helps him feel better in the meantime.

Our little Bailey is a big part of our family. He got tripped up under my feet going down the stairs with me this past February and fell. He even busted through our baby gate at the bottom. It was awful. At first he seemed fine, but then he started limping and his breathing was labored. I couldn’t take him to the vet though because it was during a HUGE blizzard. We were completely snowed in. My husband had to keep going out to dig a pathway for us because it was the whole way up our door, and completely covering our car.

I did a lot of crying, praying, and trying to nurse him back to health those next couple of days. Praise God he eventually got better, but boy was it awful going through that. It makes you feel pretty helpless.

Anyway, I will most definitely keep you all and Clover in prayer.

Lots of love to you and your family,
Laura

Rene, I just lost my best buddy about a month ago. He had Bailey 16 years…she was the smartest, most loving dog (border collie) I have ever known…I couldn’t put a price on her, she was a member of the family. I miss her every single day, even though I have other dogs, it’s not the same…I hope you have a good vet that does everything they can for Clover…she deserves it!!

Praying for her…

You can not put a price on your pet, so sorry to hear that Clover is not well. Our dog of 15 years passed last year and I still miss him. I will pray for Clover.
