Cash is a boxer-cattle hound mix. He has always had a sensitive stomach - and we have visited the vet occasionally when he has vomiting spells. The vet has given an anti-vomiting injection, and instructed small meals and monitoring as long as Cash continues to drink small amounts, and/or regain his interest in food.
This time, I decided to wait it out - and not head to the vet right away. Cash is continuing to improve - has eaten rice and hamburger - small meals. He has taken a dog biscuit or 2 and keeps his food down for several hours now.
Over the last 2-3 days, his vomiting has decreased from frequent to sparse. I feel he is improving - and he remains somewhat active and in "good spirits..."
To my knowledge, he has not passed a bowel since he ate the marrow bone that made him ill the other day. We have walked him as usual, and he is out in the back yard several times a day.
I am monitoring him, but am wondering if I am being negligent avoiding the vet for right now.
Any suggestions?
