I know how it sounds but I’m conflicted. I have a dog with my girlfriend. He’s currently living with me though he previously stayed with her.
He’s a very codependent dog and the loud music from nearby my home last night gave him a big scare.
After waking up this morning, he threw up several times. It was clear, almost like water. It was as if he hadn’t ate yesterday. (He ate his dog food.) My mom leaves for work later than me so she said she’d watch him until she left.
He threw up one more time once I left and then laid down and slept with my other dog. My first thought was that it was a tummy ache brought on by stress from last night but the more I’ve thought about it I worry it’s something more serious.
I texted my girlfriend about it and when she woke up she texting asking what he ate etc. My neighbour, who I work with, and I had to go have a meeting with our boss so it would be a bit before I got home.
We grabbed McDonald’s before getting there. My girlfriend said it’s irresponsible of me to be getting food and putting my job over my dog. On one hand, I agree with her and feel really bad that I’ve left him home alone. On the other, I expected her to pick him up.
She picks him up every weekday and brings him to her house so I thought he’d only be alone until she woke up and then she’d come to get him and make sure he’s okay. I’m starting to think I was wrong in assuming this. When I get home, I’m going to take him to poop and see how that looks and if he’s still throwing up and decide if he needs to see the Vet.
