Thank you again! I'm trying to stay calm, but Camus has been throwing up non-stop since 5:30 PM

[Christine & Camus]

I am trying to stay calm, but am really worried.  I have never experienced anything like this before.  Camus started throwing up at 5:30 PM today, and it has not stopped.  I stopped counting at 25.  I am going to take him to the vet first thing tomorrow morning, but is there anything I can do to help him tonight?

 

UPDATE:

 

Doodle Kisses Rocks! -- Thank you everyone!! 

 

Even though Camus is sick, considering the possibilities I think I got the best possible news.  I was just given the results of all of the testing done on Camus and the diagnosis of Gastritis.  The vet told me Camus' stomach lining is thickened, which meant he has been having problems for some time.  This makes perfect sense since I knew he had a sensitive digestive system, which is why I gave him pumpkin and yogurt (both of which he has recently refused to eat).  And, since he will no longer eat yogurt or pumpkin he has a lot of gas.  He was dehydrated, so electrolytes and potassium levels are off and he has slightly elevated pancreatic and liver enzymes.  His other blood work looked good, no sign of infection and the x-rays showed no obstructions.  He has been given fluids and anti-emetics.

He will be monitored and follow up testing will be done.  His diet will be bland for a few days, cottage cheese, potatoes (he does not tolerate rice very well), and chicken, or I can soak his kibble in water for 15 minutes.  I also need to feed him 4x daily instead of twice. Poor Camus just started playing after 9 weeks of recuperating from a fractured paw bone and now this.  I think in addition to his new few, I'll pick up a new toy as well.

Thank you again!  I really appreciate everyone's concern. Camus is home and resting peacefully.

I am so glad to hear this - well not glad that Camus has problems, but that there is a diagnosis and it is something you can work around.

I was almost afraid to check it also, Deanna. But, I'm glad I did because I've been so worried about Camus and am so relieved that he can recover with treatment. Gosh, I didn't know about his fractured bone, Christine. You two have been through a lot within such a short period of time. Camus is very fortunate to have such a good mommy to make sure he's well taken care of and dearly loved. He's so adorable!

Hercules, Zeus, and I wish you a speedy recovery, Camus, and some peaceful rest, Christine (you could probably use it right now).

thrilled to read your update!

Glad it isn't anything serious!  Speedy recovery, Camus!

Christine, this is GREAT NEWS!  You and Camus have been on my mind all day.  I was traveling today and not able to check DK until now.  Hopefully he will feel better soon.

Poor Camus!   Hope he is feeling much better soon!

I am happy to hear that Camus is doing better,  He deserves a great big Squeeky Toy>!!!!
