I made my dog sick
My company had a picnic with a pig roast, done by caterers. I brought some pork scraps home to give my dog with his dinner. He was ok for the first half hour, and he's been nauseous ever since. I feel so guilty.

5. That's not good. I rarely had a dog that whimpered when he was sick, even
when they were pukey. :( You have a night time vet you can call?

7. Vet School Emergency Room
If he hasn't quieted down by 10 I'll call. The pukes seem to be getting farther apart though.

9. You saved his life by posting this
I did call an emergency clinic and they said to bring him in- he had "bloat" and would have died without care. I just brought him home from the hospital a few minutes ago.

They had to withdraw gas from his stomach through a needle, then put a tube down to pump his stomach.

Thank you...

2. Oh you horrible, mean master!!!
No really I feel bad too, hope nothing is serious with the dog, but if it gets worse you should call the vet.

Hope everything will go ok

3. Maybe not

Is your dog Jewish or Muslim ? Maybe he was just having religious repercussions.

6. He's a Latter Day Saint Bernard
Not really, but it sounds good, doesn't it?

The pork isn't agreeing with me either- I seldom eat it.

8. This starting to sound like a Seinfeld episode

where Kramer takes a dog with the same symptoms to a vet so he can get the same medecine.

Hope you both get better.
