Scariest 24 hours ever. I want to post this in case it might help someone else. My little baby had such severe nausea that she turned away from water and all her favorite foods. She was vomiting green bile all night and well into the next morning. I slept on the floor next to her crate and called the vet the next morning. They said they only do vaccinations on Fridays but it sounds like she needs to go to the ER. (There’s a whole rant I could have about that. I had this surgery scheduled months ago. I would have never taken her here if I had known they wouldn’t do a follow up in case of complication.) I took the day off work and stayed with her. The ER is very close to my house so I told myself if I could not get her to drink water by noon we would go. I got her to start licking water off my hand. And then I made her shredded chicken and cheese which got her eating a little bit. And everything got better from there. She is doing much better now. I had never seen this before and it was so scary. There’s only so much reassurance you can get from google and ChatGPT. I wish my vet had given more follow up support. I might have spent thousands at the ER for something that eventually resolved on it’s own. Hopefully this post helps someone else.

Recipe I found on reddit a long time ago:

1 cup flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/8 cup vegetable oil

1/4 cup peanut butter

1/2 cup applesauce

1/2 cup pumpkin puree

1 egg

Frosting

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

1/4 cup peanut butter

Topping: 1 small apple sliced

Instructions

Makes 1 8” round of cake

Instructions

Cake

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large bowl, combine flour and baking soda.

In a separate bowl mix together vegetable oil, peanut butter, applesauce and pumpkin puree. Once combined, mix in egg and mix until combined.

Combine wet and dry ingredients and stir until combined.

Pour mixture into an 8" round pan (a square pan can also be used) that has been greased with oil.

Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake springs back when pressed lightly.

Allow to cool on a wire rack prior to removing from pan.

After cooling, add frosting if desired.

Frosting

Mix Greek yogurt and peanut butter until well combined. Spread over cake. If not serving immediately, store in refrigerator.

Place apple slices on top and done!
