The Vomit Club.

Happy days - Only Ross is not a member now. Kaiah, Siska and Orin are better and have had small breakfasts, a mixture of dog food and the white fish and sweet potato soup I made them yesterday. Sammi and Zeus are not eating, though Sammi hasn't been sick since yesterday evening, Zeus has just brought up bile. Ziva's been sick but I gave her a small breakfast to get her pills in her, I hope they get into her system before she vomits again. Loki only bought up bile too, but to top it all the water has frozen. I have 4 sick covered vet beds that I can't wash this morning and frozen vomit in the yard. The vet beds will have to just sit in bin bags and Steve's idea of covering the sick in the yard with ashes from the fire seems to have worked. Steve has managed to get the outside tap running so the pipes are obviously frozen between the field and the house, so at least we have running water. We'll need to fill everything we can during daylight now as the tap will freeze again this evening. 
It's funny how differently these dogs are affected with a "bug." It had knocked poor Orin for six, sickness and diarrhoea. Siska vomited a lot, but really hasn't been ill at all, Kaiah vomited a lot and went off her food, neither had diarrhoea. Sammi vomited about 5 times yesterday, she hasn't since but is not eating today. I'm not 100% sure if Zeus and Loki are heading for it as both only brought up bile, but Zeus didn't eat and he is flat. Loki seems quite normal really, well as normal as he is.😜
Please join us again tomorrow for more updates from the Vomit club!
