I worried all night, Duke just laid on the bed, I finally was able to give him water with the squirt bottle (he loves this!!!). This morning I could not get him up off the bed, until I went to the door and knocked and then he jumped up to see who was here, then he went back to bed when he realized no one would be at the door at 4:00am. I worried all day at work and came home to my Duke, jumping and wiggles and wanting his toys. I almost cried with relief. Will continute to watch what he eats and smaller amounts to make sure this is over. Thankfully Sugar (10yrs old) recovered quickly, couple of vomits then back to normal. I guess it was just a virus. Thanks for all the advice and will keep it on hand in case this would happen again.

mine after a dog show a year ago. Hydration like the others said is so important. I used pedialyte in a spray bottle and squirted it into they mouth. They did not want to drink. No Salt chicken broth is good if they will drink it. If I remember right the vomitting lasted about 24 hours for each dog. I did alot of washing those 3 or 4 days.

Hope they are feeling better soon.

give something to combat the vomiting, like metoclopromide. Its hard to get pills into a nauseous dog but you have to put it into a small amount of cream cheese or similar and open the mouth, pop it to the back of the throat, shut the mouth and massage the throat to get them to swallow. If you don't have the Reglan on hand, and the Flagyl isn't enough to settle them down, then consider a Pepto or a Tagamet...wait aobut 2-3hrs and offer a small amount of food. I understand the concerns as I have an older dog also...and when she doesn't eat the gastric juices seem to collect and she needs a Tagamet (cimetidine) to settle her back down to where she can hold food.

Helped with the diarrhea? His stomach is probably not feeling too great between the virus and all the retching.
I would try to offer him hydration (I usually give my guys pedialyte if they have lots of vomiting and/or diarrhea). Hold off on food, or only offer small amounts of rice with low salt chicken broth. A pepto may also help soothe his tummy, poor guy.
If there's no change by tomorrow, I'd call the vet and maybe get something for the nausea and vomiting.
