Any vets/ vet techs wanna reassure me about my pup?
He's just a little guy, maybe 35-40 pounds or so, a strange little rottie (maybe Shiba Inu?) mix. We call him a pocket rottie.

He started vomiting around two hours ago...not a very strange occurrence, but unusual. Took up his water. A half-hour later, he started to shake. His breathing became labored and shallow. He's on his way to vet now.

I can't think of anything he could've gotten into...Sound like poisoning?

I'm just extra anxious because I lost a dear, dear girl not terribly long ago.
Please, not again.

Any good thoughts?

Tough to tell what it might be but you've done the right thing getting him to the vet quickly. I'm sending lots of good thoughts and vibes your way - let us know how it turns out. :hug:

3. Please keep us posted
I'm not going to lie to you- it sounds like you should be worried. But, you were there when it started and you got him to the vet within a very short time-frame. This, in an of itself, is a very good thing-even if it's nothing life-threatening, you've eased his distress. You're doing everything you can.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you.

4. He made it the vet's office.
They're taking him in for x-rays now.

Poor Moby.

Thanks for the good thoughts.

We don't know anything for sure yet, but it's time for me to leave for work.

I appreciate the kindness.
