Hi my name is Donna Bradbury and I have a 5yr old Australian labradoodle named Luke. He is 37lbs and full of life and love. I have been opposed to vaccines since I read all about them. The breeder where we got Luke had given him his puppy shots, none of the L vaccines. And not knowing enough about puppies, I brought him to have a rabbies vaccine because of it mandated in Massachusetts, which seems to be ok with him until he started with allergies. He also had a tick bite which he had Lyme in his blood, but I never gave him the antibiotic because he did not have symptoms. He has not had any other vaccines until last November and I allowed him to get another rabbies vaccine, because I felt coericed by the vet that we have.
About 3 weeks ago he had breakfast then 3 hours later he vomited everything. I took him to the vet ER because he has never done anything like that before. They examined him and said it was probably what he ate that caused the stomach upset. Luke is a holistic dog and eats gently cooked raw and vegetables and eggs and fresh spring water from an actual spring. The next 2 days he was more tired than normal so I brought him to his vet which is not holistic. They did stool, urine and blood samples. They call the next day and said I had to get Luke into the ER because his platelets were low and he had elevated kidney values.
My husband calmed me down because Luke was acting fine and back to normal. I found a holistic vet and we are taking him there this Monday. I know he has been feeling great because he is playing and wanting belly rubs again and eating, drinking, pooping and peeing just fine. But today I did something that I would normally not do. He ate breakfast and had a snack right after and drank water. He was fine. We took him to see my mom and her apartment is very dry. So he wanted a drink and I brought more snacks! Why, I don't know. So as we were visiting, he was eating the snack (all organic beef liver) and then he wanted more water. After he ate and drank all that, he threw up all of it. We got home and he drank more water and threw that up. So we were just giving him sips and he can't seem to keep anything down. I read that we should let his stomach rest for a few hours. I'm just anxious to see the vet and figure out what is happening to our healthy pup.
