Our Dog Izzy

5 days ago Izzy began to vomit up small stuffed animals from Nelson's Noah's Arc toy set. She has done this several times in the past without any difficulty. This time was different. We took her to the vet 2 days ago because she had not eaten for 3 days which was very unusual for her. They took a picture of her belly and kept her overnight for observation. She was released home to us the next day with anti-nausea medication. She continued to vomit for 2 more days. She had not eaten or kept down water for a total of 5 days.
After a second consult with the vet today they determined that Izzy had a bowel obstruction. Sadly we had to put her down. It was extremely sad but thankfully very peaceful. It was a very difficult day at our house today. We are thankful for the time we had with Izzy and she will be missed.
