Poor Rylee. I'm concerned she has a stomach illness causing her to vomit and not eat. I can give you a home remedy for her to see if that helps. Feed her a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If she refuses to eat the bland diet, she vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away. I hope this helps!

I’m sorry Rian isn’t doing well! I can give you a home remedy to see if that helps. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed her a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts a couple of times a day for a few days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If she starts vomiting, vomits the bland diet, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, stops eating, or becomes lethargic, have her seen by a vet immediately. Best of luck.

Poor Gunner! It's concerning that he is vomiting after he is eating, and it could be he has a GI illness, may have eaten something rotten, or could have a foreign body among other causes. Because he's acting normally otherwise, I can give you a home remedy to try to see if that helps. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, he vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away.

I just asked about Nessa shivering/shaking and seeming groggy, I also forgot to mention, she vomited a little this morning also. Does this change the urgency of her possible condition??
That does make things a bit concerning, but I can give you a home remedy for Nessa to see if that helps. Feed her a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If she refuses to eat the bland diet, she vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away.
