Update

I'm still sick.  I was still not eating on Monday.  On Tuesday I did swallow my meds and I ate a small treat.  MOM took me to Bert's Vickie's place so she could go to work.  As far as church goes this is a rather busy time with Palm Sunday this Sunday followed by Maunday Thursday, Good Friday, Easter Egg Hunt and then Easter.  To add to it two of MOM's parishioners died, one on Sunday and one on Monday. 
I didn't mind going to daycare, cuz Miss Vickie and Bert take real good care of me.  Vickie even got me to eat some bread and a little bit of hamburger meat.  Of course MOM called and e-mail Miss Vickie like 87 times to see how I was.  I keep reminding MOM of Matthew 6:25-34.  It is a scripture my MOM really tries to live by.  And she does a pretty good job of doing that... except when it comes to me.  She just can't help but worry.  Mom's ya gotta love em'.   For me I don't gotta, I just can't help myself.
MOM picked me up early instead of going to the gym.  When we got home she loved on me a lot.  Then after a bit I threw up again.  Dang it.  She called the vet, but he had left at noon (he does that on Tuesdays).  But the nice person said she would give him the message when he came in in the morning.  Not 2 minutes later the doctor called MOM!  I think we have found a keeper for a vet.  He told MOM what to do until I go back in.  So MOM did what he said then she cooked me some dinner.  Chicken and rice.

I gave it a sniff.  MOM's a good cook.  But I just didn't feel like eating.  Puking will do that to ya.

Even though I never get to eat in the living room.  MOM thought it would help me.  But as you can see I am not interested.

Then MOM held a piece of chicken for me.  And that helped and I ate a few pieces.  But I still would not eat out of the bowl.

So MOM scooped up the chicken and rice in the palm of her hand and I did eat it from her hand.  Now if I can just keep it down.  

When there was just a few grains of rice left I did try to lick the bowl out, but only if MOM held the bowl.

Then I went and laid on the couch.  I am soooo tired.

MOM put her blanket on me and I snuggled in to rest and hopefully keep my dinner inside of me, at least until it comes out the right end.  hehehhhehe

You all have been so kind with your well wishes and I am a grateful dog for your kindness. MOM is overwhelmed with your thoughtfulness.  And if we could ask for anything it's just that you pray for my comfort.  
Blessings,
Goose

  2. Oh, Goose, we are so sorry you are sick. We're keeping our paws crossed for you.

    Wonder if you ate something on Saturday during your outing that has upset your insides. Rottrover's Ruby had a similar illness not too long ago that was apparently caused by some weeds she ate during a nature hike. Jed's being going through some tummy upsets, too, and mama thinks it's from eating weeds in our yard. He's been living on chicken and hard boiled egg for a few days, but he's just nauseated without the throwing up part.

    We sure hope you feel better soon. Sounds like you've found a good vet to partner with your mom until they figure it out.

  7. You look so sad in your pictures Goose. I hope they can figure out what the problem is and get you feeling better. It sounds a lot like what Remington had a while ago. It went away with time and lots of TLC. Feel better soon!

  16. Has the vet checked your kidney function Goose? Our older Golden had the same issue due to a kidney problem (which can often times happen with an older dog). We sure hope you are feeling better soon and make sure you drink water so you don't become dehydrated.

  38. Woof to you Goose!!!! Many thanks to you and your MOM for giving us all an update. Hang in there - my mother and I are continuing to send you and your MOM lots of good thoughts and prayers all the way from New York City!

    It sounds like you found a really good vet who is on top of everything, which was great news. He seems to really care and I think he will use all of his smarts to get to the bottom of what's ailing you. And you are SO VERY lucky that Bert and Vickie are able to keep an eye on you with everything that your MOM has going on.

    And please try to eat a little bit of chicken and rice. I know how hard it can be to eat when you're afraid you're going to throw up, but I would be so happy if you would continue to try.

    Much love - XXOO - Mazzie

  39. Goose, I have been worried about you. Your mom is worried too! One little hint if you haven't figured it out yet is that you can train your mom to feed you in the living room all the time now that you've got it started -- you simply refuse to eat any other place, even after you feel better. The dog brother I used to have trained the people who boarded us to feed him with a spoon because he wouldn't eat any other way. Some good may come out of this yet -- and yes, I am praying for you. Hope you're back to your lively self real soon!
    Miss you,
    Murphy
