Also... is she open to adopting the baby? Adoption is a wonderful choice.
We’ve had long talks about that. She is quite adamant about keeping it. All the more reason to tell my dad to cut her dad some slack. Maybe he could cut back his hours and keep his pay the same. A raise perhaps?
If it is really bad, especially if she is having trouble staying hydrated, then going to the doctor and getting drugs is a good choice.
Depends on what you call bad. She vomited in my office trash can twice in 2 hours. I told her to see a doctor. I would pay if she needed it.

Doctor can check her for dehydration.. that is the best idea.

Until she sees a doctor, if she is peeing dark, and has low saliva flow... then that is bad, she really needs to go to a clinic or ER.

If she is vomiting twice a day that isn't bad... once an hour isn't horrible if she is drinking in-between. The other remedies might help. If the second she drinks something it comes back... then yes... clearly that is really bad and she probably needs medication from the doctor.

I will let her know, thank you
She definitely needs a doctor.

I would hope that she’s seeing a doctor anyway
I really don’t know if she can afford one. I set her up an appointment anyway. I’ll pay.
A black dog might help a little? Cuddles for her, warning barks, intimidating appearance too.
That’s a really good idea. I’m going to have her borrow one of dad’s LGD’s. Then we can find her a permanent resident (after we find a breeder ect…)

Is there an animal shelter around? She might not feel up to raising [another] youngun. An older adult dog thats already housetrained might go over better.
