Back from day care with retching and vomiting?

[Lori, Quincy & Frankie]

Quincy spent the day at PetSmart daycare- his 4th or 5th time there.  He pulls me into the door in the AM and comes out exhausted and happy.  The staff knows him by name, and is attentive and caring when I am there. I do not have concerns about the care he is given....that being said., 

Tonight he barfed white stuff while still there, again in the car and a few time once home.  We let take some water, he barfed that later, and is (as he has always been post day care) very subdued.. 

the vomit is clear (sorry queasy stomachs), in between he is fine but very tired, just resting his head and not looking for food.  He was like that on the other times he was there though-he just seems to be tired from play.  

so I feel like  am just on watch for the night ---  i am hoping it is over excitement from running around like a loon all day at day camp?  yesterday he did get into a lot of sticks outside that he pulverized.  

I am not planing on feeding him his dinner tonight...just water if he wants, but  he had not gone near. 

my gooodness---I am thinking this will be an all nighter with vomit interludes.  Shades of our son when we where a lot younger...

any words of encouragement that this is just a TOO FUN FILLED day for the doodle?  i remember that my son might have those over excited kind of days, but is it the same for a dog?

Hi NS- this was awhile ago, and I don't recall the name of the medications.  It was an antibiotic and cough suppressant though.  As I recall, he responded pretty quickly.  We did not have any issues with throwing up the meds.  Are you wrapping them in cheese?  That's what I do for pills and he swallows them right down.  

Someone suggested vaporizer or steam from the shower.  I don't think we had to do that, I recall he responded to the antibiotics pretty quickly.  We kept him quiet, too, as increased activity also made him cough. 

Don't forget to give either some yogurt or even probiotics to counteract the antibiotics.

Good wishes for a speedy recovery!
