Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and queasy stomach haters….I am definitely one of those. I can gag in a nanosecond.
It’s even hard to write this but it is a heath warning……
Emma was throwing up today which is very unusual. When I went to clean it up, it looked greenish (stomach turning). You should see my face right now.
Anyway, I was worried about Shimlette young Emmers. I made her lay in the office bed so I could watch her and moments later she hurled green again. All of her breakfast was now gone.
(old picture but this is what she looked liked)
Now I was really worried, of course. Chaps looked worried as well.
So, we went the rest of the day and she was fine until she threw up her dinner. So, I cleaned that green up and gave her a pepcide tablet that Chaps had been prescribed for his tummy ache awhile back.
Grandma was convinced she ate something from the back yard. Anyway, I was walking through my office and saw something that looked like this laying on the floor. It was kind of slimy, like it had been in her stomach. (gagging)
Mind you I had thoroughly cleaned up all of the hurls. But this was laying there, away from the clean up areas…I picked it up in a napkin and the thing was oozing green!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE CULPRIT!
It was so strange that it was the only thing I missed in my cleaning efforts.
Beware dear reader of these things. They can make your hound really sick. I think it was a butterfly worm. Are there such things?
Grandma was so freaked out. She HATES worms. I mean REALLY hates worms. She told Emma that if she started sprouting butterfly wings she would run out of the house screaming…..
More looking out for worms later…..Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma
