Haley is sick again.

[Anne & Mr. Haley]

He started throwing up Sunday afternoon, two large items that looked like compacted lawn mower droppings, each the size of half a banana. He at dinner. At 2:00 AM he threw up all of his kibble and some clear liquid. Around 3:00 AM more, this time only clear liquid. At 4:45 AM again but this time white tinged with pink. No interest in home cooked chicken and rice for breakfast. At 9:30 AM he threw up bloody mucus, about a hand size pile. Off to the vet's we went. They did Xrays and blood work. The blood work was ok; the Xrays showed something besides all the gas. While were waiting for the results Haley threw up more bloody mucus in the waiting room. He vet came out and saw it and took him to the back. She then went over the results with me and wanted to keep him to do barium (?) and I am to call her later this afternoon.
I am just sick over this and feel so sorry for my poor doodle. This is the first time he has ever refused food or thrown up bloody stuff. He really feels bad.

UPDATE

Well, after a day at the vet, barium paste, many X-rays tracking the progress of the stuff and an anti nausea shot Haley came home tonight with instructions to feed him a little chicken and rice. I gave him two small spoonfuls but he has only eaten about half of it. We go back to the vet to do more x-ray(s) to see if it is still moving through him.

I want to thank everyone of you for your support and positive thoughts. I'll update again tomorrow.

UPDATE

Took Haley to the vet this morning for more x-rays. The stuff has moved from his stomach and is on the way out. This is what she was looking for. Apparently what caused the bleeding was ulceration from some scratchy items in the stuff he had eaten. She said that he should be fine but to keep him on a diet of chicken and rice for a couple of days.

Again, thank you for your concern and support. It really helps me to get through these difficult incidents.

FINAL UPDATE (I hope)

Haley is back to normal. I am watching him like a hawk when outside to make sure he doesn't get into this stuff again. DH has instructions that when Haley isn't fetching ball with him he has to come back inside. DH gets sidetracked doing things and doesn't keep an eye on Haley.

And for all who may be interested, I never found anything in the poo, I only found it in the vomit which I washed off and showed the vet.

Anyway, it's great to have my doodle back to his normal happy self!

So glad to hear that Haley will be okay!!!!!

[Jarka, Monty & Auggie]

That's good news. In a way, I'm really curious to "see" what he ate. I'm sure you are feeling relieved.

[Anne & Mr. Haley]

Thanks Jarka.  As a member of the Photography Group, perhaps I should take a picture of it and post the shot when this does pass.  : )

Sure : )

[Jarka, Monty & Auggie]

If it's interesting, why not? We all inspect our dood's poo anyways, right?

[Lisa Turner]

Well Done all!!!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Glad to hear that "this too shall pass," for Mr. Haley soon! I wonder what he ate!

[Sue, Murphy and Bella ()*o*()]

So glad to hear whatever it is is making its way out. I'm sure I'll be in the same situation someday. I'm still waiting for the "thing" Bella eats that gets stuck or makes her real sick. Please let us know what the final "outcome" is.

[Nancy, Ned, Clancy, and Charlie]

I am certainly glad to read your second update.  I am wishing Haley a speedy recovery.
