    Well someone owes us £175 for an emergency Vet, and about £20 for meds. (Surprisingly cheep) who know what for the mental anguish. Oh Forget the petrol.

    Loki lived up to his name sake.

    Posted something in yak chew earlier about being up all night with the pup. Well it seemed to be getting worse and he was very lethargic. So basically not a puppy.
    Phoned vets only appointment available was tomorrow morning. Well then he threw up the chicken I had been feeding him.

    On phone to the emergency vets.
    They said something about costs we said something like don't care he's covered and we have credit cards.

    On the way we were listing what it could possibly be.
    Remembered he picked up some chewing gum off the floor yesterday at a country park. Think I got it all off him but couldn't be 100%.

    Artificial sweetener Xylitol I think it called. Terrifying what it could do to a full grown dog.

    Got too the Vet about two pm and if he hadn't had a bout while in the vets you would of thought there was nothing wrong with him. Vet said she was confident I got all the gum. Yay. Although from my understanding if I didn't he probably wouldn't be with us.

    Loki finally home now with stuff to settle his stomach.
    Its going to be another long night.

    What a awful situation to have to go through! I hope Loki is recovering well now.

    Thank you.

    Think he's going to be disappoint when I go back to his puppy food.

    So pleased to hear that!
    A few days/weeks off training will do him no harm at all x
