Tummy bugs

I've been reading on here and hearing at the dog club about lots of dogs with upset tummies.Last week poor old Bentley picked it up.
The first clue was when he thew up all over Bob's legs, the settee and the carpet. I didn't know a dog could look so thoroughly miserable, he clearly didn't feel well at all. Bob looked quite miserable as well, all covered in dog vomit. Over the next few days he (Bentley, not Bob) seemed to get better then off he'd go again.
A trip to the vet was obviously in order. The vet told us he didn't seem to have much wrong with him but he'd give him anti vomit, anti biotic and anti inflammatory just in case. £65 please and bring him back tomorrow.
Back the following day for another dose of the magic trinity of anti this, that and the other. Another £65. Still it seems to have done the trick. Some of the dogs I've been hearing about have been ill for several weeks despite treatment.
I hope all your doggies are ok.
Ps. I was shooting a wedding last week and one of the neighbours came out to watch the bride get in the car. I spotted a beautiful very golden golden and of course went to say hello. It turned out he was called Bentley as well. What a surprise. Handsome boy he was too, they're a good looking lot, these goldens.
