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!

Another UPDATE above

[F, Calla & Luca]

I'm glad Haley is coming along. Whatever he has been getting into, I guess you need to keep him from. These episodes are no fun : (

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

I hope that Haley will soon be feeling better. 

[Marnie, Stanlee's Mom]

Oh Haley, whatever did you eat?  So glad it's "movin' along " and not "hangin' out" and "stayin' put."  Makes me wanna sing Rawhide.....Thanks so much for the update and I hope he's feeling better VERY soon!

[Nicky, Riley & Boris]

On the way out sound good. I await the next and final phase and full recovery.

[Lynette Main]

So sorry to hear about Haley. My Shea is always eating something crazy. They start laughing when I enter the vets office.They last time it was a bird house and there was some kind of spring in it and the spring got caught in his back teeth and he couldn't close his mouth.Drove to the vets with his mouth opened wide.

[BG and Gavin]

Sounds positive.  I bet you will be glad when this passes.  Thanks for the update.

[Veronica Z.]

Sounds like Haley is on the mend! So glad to hear it! :)

[Sheila & Finnley]

Ouch, scratchy stuff ? That can't feel good at all, poor guy. Be strong Mr. Haley, this too shall pass.....

[Cathy, Fozzie & Shaggy]

I'm very happy to hear Haley will soon be on the mend.  I do hope everything passes without further difficulty!
