Chaps woke up with a tummy ache this morning:(
Howllo Fellow Hound and Chaps’s tummy lovers: Our boy woke up with a tummy ache this morning. I have been somewhat worried about him since I am trying to find a better food.
Anyway, he was pacing around and threw up some gastric juices. He actually ate a little bit of his breakfast and then started pacing again. Of course, I was worried sick because we basset lovers know that bassets can bloat quickly. I actually used my own reference material on my web site to see if he fit any of the symptoms. You think you know them, but when you are freaked out you forget.
This is the link I went to on my website:
It really put my mind at ease that he was not fitting any of the symptoms. There is a chart at the bottom of the BLOAT page, right before the comments. It is called:

This is what I referred to. You really should print it out and keep it handy.
Chaps is resting right now and thank God he is not pacing any more. Here he is. He just crawled into his bed in the office.
He licked his paw for a few minutes and now he is sleeping. Shhhhhhhhhhhhh!
More tummy updates later….Cat, Chaps and Emma

Oh, poor Mayor. I think you need a long, restful weekend to get back on track. What with the stress of the election and all, you are probably very tired. Cheesehead basset are sending get well slurps to you!!!
Chaps you have to take care of that tummy ache, so you may have to miss a few treats until you are all better. Your slave should make sure you have plenty of quiet and rest, and if you are feeling up to it some belly rubs later. After you have recovered your slave must remember to make up for the lost treats.
I’ll be sure and reminder her!
Chaps, sorry you have a tummy ache today. Hope you feel better. You can have my bed in sick bay, I feel a lot better. My mommy gave me that pink stuff one time and I spit it out too!!! But, my brother Bailey loves it , of course, he will eat anything!
Love Clancy
Get well soon Chaps!!!
We are sending drool your way!
Chaps sweetie, we’re so sorry you have a tummy ache. They are no fun! When Scully had her tummy issues, she did a lot of that pacing and whatnot. It is scary to see them like that! Hope you are feeling better real quick!
We luv you.
Sending lots of healing drool,
Mary & Scully
