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?

If he's not removing waste, and it's been days of this, then he probably should see the vet.

I agree... time for the vet... ASAP.

This appears to be more/different than his 'normal' sensitive stomach issues. You need to take him to the vet.

If it was the bone that made him ill, he may have swallowed a splinter that could be doing damage to his system.

It sounds like a possible blockage (this is just a guess). I would definitely go to the vet. No bowel movement when he's eating fine, is a sign that something is going on that he needs help with.

Sounds like your pet might have a blockage of some type. My dog ate a tube-sock once and had the same symptoms. Had to have surgery. Best of luck!
