Today when I got home from work I caught autumn eating a piece of sugar free gum! I tried to pull it out of her mouth with no luck. Cramming my finger down her throat didn't do any good getting it back up (do dogs have a gag reflex?) So it was off to the vet. $200. Later autumn is acting completely normal
and rambunctious. While I was waiting for her though some boys brought in the cutest pit puppy. Unfortunately the symptoms they discribed sounded like parvovirus to me. Which instantly freaked me out. Of course they had never heard of the disease before and she had not been vaccinated for it. Hopefully it was something else but a good reminder to keep pets current on shots. I'm happy to have my little food hound home and healthy!
I hope this post makes sense. It's sent from my new iPhone that I have not quite figured out yet.

Ouch :( If you want your corgi to vomit something back up, try administering hydrogen peroxide. use 3% hydrogen peroxide: one teaspoon per 10 pounds of body weight. If you have an oral syringe, one teaspoon equals 5 cc or 5 ml. Once given, walk your dog around or gently shake the stomach area to mix the peroxide with the stomach contents. Vomiting should occur within 15 to 20 minutes.
