My kid is in the doggie hospital.

[dirty~d~]

I spent all night on the floor of my parent's garage trying to calm my poor little dude down. I got a call from my mother around 11PM that he was howling and acting like he was in pain, but wouldn't let her touch him. When I got there he came right to me and wouldn't let me put him down. So I blew up the air mattress and spent the night on the floor with him. He howled and tossed/turned all night... no sleep for DD. No signs of poison, but his stomach was rock hard. With all of the crap that in my parent's barn I wouldn't be surprised if he ate something that got stuck. He's only 8 months so I'm sure he's terrified. His little cries brought tears to my eyes.

He's now bedded down at the vet. Blood tests have confirmed no poison so they're going to feed him a little and take some x-rays. Crossing my fingers that he doesn't need surgery.

Ugh, the things we put ourselves through for our children.

I feel for ya. My 4 1/2 month old mini daschund swallowed a penny last tuesday. Had to have it surgically removed that night! One the bright side, he is ok and we got him neutered at the same time. That'll teach him...eat a penny, lose your balls! On the down side he has a huge scar and dented my wallet big time!

Best of luck!!!!

It is probably the bloat (when the stomach turns).It is very common in bigger dogs.
