I was thinking you probably have a kidney stone, but it could also be a bladder or kidney infection. How long exactly have you had this pain?

Does it hurt when you pee? (Sorry to be so personal but I have to ask) :oops:

Ok then you probably don't have an infection. I am still gonna guess it's a kidney stone. So here is what I reccomend to help pass it...you need to find 100% cranberry juice. Not the Ocean Spray Cranberry Cocktail. The real juice costs about 7 bucks and it tastes VILE. But trust me when I tell ya, you will feel like a new person after drinking it. There is something about the type of acid produced in cranberries that helps your kidneys and bladder. They sell it at some Target stores and at health food stores. You need to drink it with nothing but ice, don't put sugar in it and try to drink the entire bottle over about 24 hours. It's really nasty, but it's worth it.

So what is wrong with your dog?

Hi Zen and Arie!

Kukon, is she scootin her backside on the floor? Also what is she throwing up? Is it food or foamy stuff? Also what kind of dog is it?

Thanks Zen! See this is the kind of stuff they should teach you guys in high school, but they don't. They don't even teach you what caffiene can do to you.

She is probably lacking something in her diet Kukon, but she might have worms too. She is probably throwing up from eating the grass. Is she eating dog food normally? What about water...is she drinking too little? More than usual? Is it a big dog or a small dog?

Those socks are cute Arie!

Kukon, I have three dogs and one of them is a smaller one. She throws up stuff all the time. There is nothin wrong with her. Little dogs have a more delicate system. It comes from decades of overbreeding. Even if your dog is just a mix, she had purebred ancestors at some point. You might try mixing a little white rice into her food to help settle her down and balance her out. Is she active otherwise?

Zen the thing I wish we would have been taught about caffeine is that it can cause fibroid lumps in your breasts. I had a friend who was terrified about 20 years ago because she found a lump and thought it was automatically cancer. They left her hangin for a while on the test results, but as it turned out it was because she was a coffee lover.

Edit: Kukon...I know all these things combined can seem overwhelming and stressful. But nothing in there that you have told me is so bad that it can't be fixed. I want you to promise to keep me updated on your pain in your side though. If it doesn't stop hurting in another 3 days then you need to go to the doctor.
