Have you had the vet do x-rays because if there is a chance he has swallowed glass then it could be doing terrible damage inside, I would be going straight back to the vet.

I was thinking the same as Unicorn in that he could have swallowed something like a chicken bone but it does sound like he may have swallowed glass!!:eek:


Is he able to eat at all? Does he have any other symptoms?

Really hope you find out what is causing this and get him well soon.

I am so glad that he seems better today but definately keep a good close eye on him to make sure he is over the worst :)

That is good news!

Perhaps he burst a blood vessel through wretching so let's hope he is over the worst and makes a full and speedy recovery.

It is a good sign that he is eating and small amounts will be best anyway.

Glad your dog's getting better .I do hope the glass attached itself to the sweetie:eek: .
Good idea just to let them out the back just in case.

So glad that he is on the mend and that you found out the cause.
Such a shame that idiots would leave a sweetie with glass lying around![mad]

My dog Benjy is a bit of a scrounger when he goes out for a walk so have to be very careful in case he picks up something he shouldn't!
