hello!
I am sorry to hear about your pup. First things first. we can manage pain (or at least we should be doing everything in our power to try). If the pain isnt subsiding within a day or two call the vet and ask to be seen again. There is a litany of pain medications available. Often we dont provide enough, or the correct combination at the first vist.
Second, we need a diagnosis, at least a tentative diagnosis to try to understand what course of treatment options are needed and what to expect from each option, or as time progresses.
third, every patient should be offered a referral to a specialist sooner versus later.
thats where i would start at this point with your dog.

Hello,
Ordinarily I don’t get overly worried about an episode of acute vomiting but I don’t know anything about your dog. Important things to help assuage my concerns are knowing that your pup had all of their vaccines, is on a good food and is current on their preventatives. I also want to know that your pup has had a fecal checked at the vets office.
If your pups vomiting continues or their attitude changes please see a vet.
Thank you! Yes, she just had a vet visit last week for a regular checkup and to do her bloodwork for spaying and she checked out okay. She’s UTD on all shots and is in Hill’s Puppy food. I believe it was a passing stomach bug (more likely something she scavenged on a walk) because she’s back to normal now. She’s still not as enthusiastic about her food, but it has improved a lot over the past day. She’s also back to being my Velcro pup. I think I was overly worried, but I so appreciate this resource and your response.
