Dog vomit (yellow bile) on light carpet
Comments (42)There are probably many different reasons why a dog will vomit yellow bile. My dog used to do that occasionally in the morning if I waited too long to feed him. Now I make sure he eats when he wakes up and no more vomit. My son's dog/puppy starting vomiting in the morning - before she ate breakfast. I suggested to my son to feed her a little food before she went to bed each night - and that stopped the vomiting the next morning. If it's frequent, it's best to consult a vet of course. For the stains - I just used a tablespoon of Dawn (has to be Dawn - it works on grease but it's gentle) dish washing soap right on the stain, then swirl with a soft brush. Soak with water on a sponge - really mesh it down and then blot with paper towels. Very sudsy but it worked :)...See MoreOrganizing With Chronic Illness?
Comments (23)Hi Susan, I have a lot of fatigue issues that increase tenfold when I am stressed, depressed, anxious, etc. I understand how hard it can be to just get the bulk of daily chores done. I tend to take mental stock of what is around the house- thinking of things that I know are there and that I wouldn't mind parting with. No need to necessarily go through a whole cabinet, but pull out 4 old beer mugs that I know are in there and put them in a box to donate. Sometimes I aim for just 10 minutes of this type of work a day, depending on what is going on. If you do 10 minutes a day, a few days a week, in a year, you will have spent a fair amount of time and probably eliminated a lot of things. It's that old adage about how you eat an elephant-- one bite at a time. Where I live, we are fortunate to have several organizations who will happily pick up any donations you might have, and they are available to come by once or twice every week, even for just a bag or two of stuff. This is great for me because it means I can schedule a pick up, put a few boxes and bags in one space (add to them as the date approaches) and then just stick everything out in the front entry on the given day- and it is gone to new digs by the end of the day. I just finished reading a book that was very good- Clutter Busting by Brookes Palmer. He emphasizes over and over again that 75% of the stuff in your house is weighing you down, and that you are more important than any material item in your house. Reading his book gave me a lot of clarity on how to go through things, he's got a lot of tips about recognizing when you don't need or want something, but are making excuses up to keep it. It's been a helpful and inspiring book for me to get going again. I'll warn you that he has a few stories in there about people who have health problems that he decides are just mental clutter, and related to the outer clutter, but if you can accept that there are some hypochondriacs out there, and don't feel like he's telling you that all your health problems will go away if you declutter, then the book has a lot of value. One thing that I will contend is that, you will probably feel better as you make this go away. But be patient with yourself and do things as you can, and one day you will wake up and realize that it really has changed. (((HUGS)))...See MoreDog with Chronic Diarrhea
Comments (28)Hi first time posting here. Please to meetcha all! I have a bulldog, and anyone who knows, bulldogs are infamous for "wind" and allergies. My dear friend Terry owns a health/vitamin store, she advised me to use eagle pack dog food, it is all holistic no junk added etc. not much more $ than reg dog food. Also give something you can get at the health store that is called All-Flora. It is the good live bacteria we and dogs have in our stomach. It should calm down whatever is terrorizing the digestive tract. It will be in the frig section of the store. MUST keep refrig'd. My bully once drank liquid peppermint soap and had a terrible time, crying at the door to get out so he could go!! 2 doses and he was back to normal. This will work on humans also. Plain yougurt may help also for upset stomachs and the big D. She looks like she is a sweetheart, I hope you can resolve this. I don't recommend the larger chain health stores, the people are not knowledgeable, if you do a search for it it is made by new chapter. But buy it locally if you can, I ordered it online once and it was not refrig'd. Also Terry recommended lentils cooked in chix broth for his allergies, that is all she feeds her dogs. I know that you are concerned about food allergys. Maybe everything is out of whack and just need a chance to rest. After the scare with commercial dog food I am so glad I feed my boy holistic. I am not promoting these products just listing what has worked for me. Good Luck. Dena...See MoreHelp....cat vomiting daily on new carpet
Comments (35)I have a cat who vomits (vomited, anyway). She didn't simply yack up her food, but had some coughing/gagging/hacking going along with it...it sometimes occurred without her vomiting, so we were unsure if the coughing was causing the vomiting, or the vomiting was just accompanied by hacking/gagging/coughing. We went through all of the usual attempts to fix it. I elevated the food dishes, treated for hairballs, tried several different foods, wet her food (slowed her down and lessened any effects of not chewing, in case that was the issue - she won't eat wet food), put ping pong balls in the bowl to make sure she wasn't gulping, etc. She had a complete blood work-up and x-rays (the at-home changes and veterinary diagnostics were going on at the same time). The only thing we've ever found is a slightly elevated globulin level (twice). Apparently, this indicates some sort of inflammation. It can be present with IBD, persistent infection (she did have a severe upper respiratory infection at the shelter and for some time after I got her, so we tested again), asthma, some cancers, etc. Luckily (or not?), many of those things can be treated (though, not cured) with steroids. She is on prednisolone for now. It's very cheap (cost me $10 for two months' worth this morning), and she has not vomited since we started it (a few weeks ago). I am still debating further diagnostics, but my vet hasn't been pushing them. I have access to some very good specialists, but I'm just not sure I want to put the cat through endoscopy, etc. to simply continue treating her with steroids. I do wish I had a concrete diagnosis, but there are worse things than 5mg of prednisolone every other day. Long-term steroid use does have risks, but prednisolone is generally tolerated well in cats (better than prednisone). During all of this, the cat had no other symptoms, gained weight (which she needed - she lost weight with the URI), and behaved as if nothing was wrong. It may be worth looking into. The blood protein test is very cheap compared to other tests, so it's a good place to start. Of course, if you're already paying for an office visit, it might be worthwhile to get a complete blood work-up, rather than going back later to get additional tests done....See Moremini_a_naidu_yahoo_com
