My dog Tank

Question
A while back my dog had surgery on his small intestine for eating horse manure and hay that got clumped up. He couldn't keep food down and he progressively got skinnier. Yesterday he kept vomiting and later on that night went #2 by the front door. My mother in law gave him some water this morning, however, he couldn't keep that down either. She didn't bother to feed him because she figured since he couldn't keep the water down he wouldn't be able to keep the food down. I can't tell if he has eaten the same thing again or if something else is wrong with him. My husband and I are two people that don't have all the money in the world, however, our dog Tank means everything to us.

Please help.

Thanks,

Alicia

Answer
Try a bland diet for a few days.  If he is OK, slowly go back to the regular kibble.  

Bland recovery diet for dogs.

3 parts cooked rice, one part boiled hamburger or chicken, or cottage cheese. I think you can substitute boiled potatoes for the rice. Once in an emergency, we bought a plain baked potato from Wendy's.

This is meant for short time settling a dog's digestive tract. It is not the complete and balanced diet they need long term. I have seen it work.

If up to a week on that doesn't help, I am afraid it is back to the vet.
