Poor Little Fresco

Our poor little foster dog has had a really rough day. Over the weekend he got to go to daycare when I went to KC on Saturday night with Mom, and on Sunday he came home happy and all pooped out. He ate a healthy dinner and went to bed, but when I went to let him out of his kennel this morning, he had thrown up his entire dinner, and had no interest in eating breakfast. We went for a walk this morning and he seemed okay, but an hour or so later he vomited again. When Chad came home and let the dogs out at lunch, he hadn't thrown up anymore but then he had diarrhea. He wouldn't eat anything for dinner either, and he had diarrhea again. Tonight when we got home from softball he threw up a third time. The poor baby is so incredibly lethargic and I'm so worried about him! I hate to overreact when he's only been sick for a day, but I'm having such a hard time not thinking that there's something really wrong!

Chad is convinced that he's just having a hard time adjusting to the new food he's eating at our house, or that maybe that he picked up a stomach bug at daycare. My fear is that he's ingested some of the blanket that was in his kennel to give him some padding (a couple of the corners had been chewed on when we were gone) and has an intestinal blockage, which is incredibly serious. We're going to take him to the vet in the morning to see if they can figure out what's wrong. If you think about it, say a little prayer tonight or tomorrow for Fresco!
