| hunting for grass, always know he is sick when he starts this |
Starting at 3 pm on Wed 11/12/25 Beau was pacing until 9:15 pm, vomit/diarrhea, slept until 3 am on Thursday, and a repeat of day before. That and Dermatologist visit is the reason I was MIA.
This is the 4th time this has happened, since New Years Eve. It starts with pacing, eating grass and I know its going to last about 8 hours at least. I follow him step by step, we both get exhausted. There is very little grass because drought came back. Photos are of him hunting for grass.
Beau had nothing but rice to eat all day yesterday, I gave him sticky rice, 4 bites 5 times yesterday. his last episode was about 5 am yesterday 11/13/25, just gave him rice with his gabapentin, vet said stop meds except for that one. he said for a few days give him rice and let his stomach heal from whatever is causing this. He admitted he doesn't know what is causing it. we could spend a few thousand for testing like they do for humans, he thinks it is digestive somewhere but no way to tell without tests. we will not be doing that.
Our Transport guy took us to dermatologist and results are:
biopsy not skin cancer
biopsy of hive, caused by allergic reaction to some kind of drug..(we knew this)
he still has a rash, can't have more prednisone, can take up to 4 of the Allegra a day, rub Sarna lotion on the rash.
After Bob warmed up in the sunshine after his bath
We were picked up by our favorite driver and brought home and were back home in 50 minutes and the beau was fine when we got back.
That is all, the day flew by. We were exhausted, Bob was asleep and had been since 4:40 and at 6:30 we went to bed and slept until 3:15, with 2 potty breaks so feeling better this morning.
This morning I gave Beau 1 spoon pure pumpkin, 1 spoon RX can dog food, on 1/4 cup of rice and we await the results of eating that to make adjustments to diet.vet said 48 hours of mostly rice. His stomach is still not right because he is letting those Stink Bombs off.... if you have a dog you will know that smell.

I have no way of knowing, of course, but it’s quite possible that the grass Beau is seeking might solve the problem. Animals are known to heal themselves. Glad to hear that Bob is at least comfortable and enjoying the warm sunshine. Keep on smiling!
Hello Sandra
I am glad all went well with the doctor visit.
It is good Bob is getting good sleep. Now if only you were able to sleep more. Sending healing prayers for Beau and Bob.
Take care, enjoy your day!
Wow, that's awesome that you got all that sleep but not so much that you were exhausted. Hope Beau is back to normal soon.
Good news on Bobs biopsy.
