Article: By itself, bilious vomiting syndrome is not a serious problem in dogs. However, it can lead to other problems. Therefore, if your dog is vomiting bile, do not delay with taking your dog to your vet. The sooner your vet can diagnose this syndrome, the sooner your dog can receive treatment and not develop health problems related to vomiting bile. Your vet will perform a physical examination. During the physical exam, describe the vomiting episodes in as much detail as possible: when your dog vomits, what the vomit looks like, and how long the vomiting has been going on. The more information you give your vet, the better able they'll be able to diagnose your dog. Although it's well known that dogs vomit bile when they have an empty stomach, it's not clearly known how the bile gets into the stomach in the first place. Some potential causes of bile abnormally flowing into the stomach include inflammatory bowel diseases, internal parasites (Giardia), and intestinal blockage.

Article: Lay a flat piece of treated lumber in the doorway to form the sill. Check it with a level. You want the sill to be as flat as possible. Most likely you'll need to slip some wooden shims under the lumber to level it. The length of wood you need for the sill depends on the width of your door. Use a tape measure to figure out the dimensions. Purchase a pack of 3in (7.6cm) coated deck screws. Measure the length of the sill. Place screws at both ends and place the remaining screws approximately every 9in (23cm). Screw them in place with a cordless screwdriver. Measure the door from the bottom left corner to the top right corner. Then, measure the door from the bottom right corner to the top left corner. The measurements should be exactly the same. If they're not, the door isn't square and needs to be adjusted. Hold the door and frame in the opening. Use a level to make sure they're plumb. Be sure to hold the door trim up to gauge whether or not there's enough room for it. You may need to make adjustments to fit them all. If there isn't enough space for the door, frame, and trim, you'll have to reduce the size of the door. Once the frame is set, you can adjust the door with a belt sander or circular saw. It's also possible to sand down the siding in the doorway to create the extra space.

Brush your teeth thoroughly for two minutes, covering your entire mouth. Spit out excess toothpaste. Rinse your mouth out with water.
