DH can go, the dog is staying grrr

[GhostsInSnow]

So, today we decide to take a trip to Blists Hill Victorian Town. Dogs are welcome so we pop Bob, our 13 year old Westie in the car and head off. He's asleep at my feet but I notice he's shivering a little and commented to DH that he didn't seem right. Halfway down the M6 Bob cries, sits up and has a bout of diarrhoea all over the car. Fortunately we are A) near and exit and B) he's got the majority on the rubber mat.

We clean up Bob and the car and return Bob home where he goes to bed, lively enough but obviously a little under the weather. I've spent the afternoon racking my brains as to why he was ill. He's fed on Arden Grange, has been for years, nothing has changed. He has rare treats but nothing he's not had before etc when DH says those immortal words:

"Well, I may have given him a little chicken tikka off the pizza last night"

I've spent an hour tonight mopping my kitchen floor from his last bout. There was a spot of fresh red blood in there too so depending how he is in the morning it might be a vets trip. He's drinking and he's lively so I'm not massively worried but really, chicken bloody tikka!?

AAAGGGHHHH

Oh dear, poor dog, poor you.

My daughter's partner feeds their dogs all sort of crap: left over pizza, curry etc., even fed his dog raisins once when I was with them. They seem to survive all the rubbish, but his dog does seem to have a permanently runny tummy.

More to the point Charlie, if DH fed him the chicken tikka why are you the one cleaning up the resulting mess? Stick the mop in his hand and get him cleaning.

Hope dog is all right overnight and doesn't need to see the vet.

He's had no more overnight and seems a lot happier this morning so I think we are past the worst of it now.
I don't think he realised that a small piece of something spicy could affect him like it did and I don't think he twigged it s most likely the cause until much later.

Bob's diet is pretty bland, arden grange, the odd jumbone and he loves a raw carrot. He does very occasionally have a few potatoes and veg if there is any leftover but nothing too rich.

Dh is a bit of a soft touch with him really but I think he's learned that perhaps spicy food is a step too far.
I firmly expect him to still be sneaking him midget gems though

Glad to hear Bob is better OP. Yes, it's those big pleading eyes that do it.

He's a lot better today, he's had a little scrambled egg and toast and the diarrhoea has stopped so hopefully that's that now.

I think Dh has learned a lesson though..
