I spent the last couple of days watching my poor dog, vomit over and over. He would not eat, lapped up water like it was the elixir of canines and within minutes would vomit with a force. It was just foam and water coming up…nothing else.

I took him to the vet, thinking that it was going to be something that he had gotten into. His temperature was good. The vet gave him an anti-nausea shot and antibiotics. We started discussing what could have caused this.

Before the sickness started I had taken my dogs down to my parents to run. They have plenty of space for the dogs to stretch out and get some exercise.

Because of all the rain that we have had lately, there is also quite a bit of standing water in planters, containers around the shed, basically anything that can hold a little water,is.

My vet said that a multitude of things can grow in standing water. Heaven knows what kind of bacteria is lurking and mixed with leaves and dirt to create a toxic stew…Yuck! I’m thinking that the standing water was the culprit.

To nurse my dog back slowly the vet tech said to encourage the dog to drink plenty of fresh water. You can also offer low sodium chicken broth, Pedialyte or Smart Water. Pedialyte or Smart Water contain electrolytes that your dog is losing in the vomit or diarrhea.

To ease your dog back into eating slowly you can feed them chicken and rice. It is soothing to the system. Make sure that the chicken is boiled or grilled with no spices and no fat. It should be 1/3 chicken to 2/3 rice. Feed smaller meals and make sure the chicken is cooked extremely well. Adding 1-2 teaspoons of canned pumpkin or cooked sweet potato to each meal for added fiber is also recommended. The fiber will help bulk up the stools and regulate the digestive tract. Continue feeding this for 2 days after the symptoms stop. Then slowly transition back into his regular food by slowly mixing it in with the chicken and rice.

My dog responded very well after a couple of antibiotics and a few days of boiled juicy chicken, rice and delicious broth. I think he is going to turn his nose up to dog food now.

The moral to this story…if I would not drink the water, the dogs should not either.

While shopping for women’s clothing online is fast becoming the norm, there is still an art to it one that must be mastered in order to get the most out of the experience. Buying clothes via the Web is wonderful and stressful in equal measure. There are so many options and so many temptations. Unfortunately, there is also plenty of room for error and you can easily end up spending more than you intended to or needed to. But don’t worry about that, because IKRUSH are experts in online shopping and we have plenty of tips and tricks to help you make the most out your money.

Head to the Sale Section First

At IKRUSH, we have a dedicated Sale section that features all of our reduced items in one place and many other fashion retailers have something similar. This section is where you should be heading first. Don’t worry, it’s not like a high street store where you have to spend hours digging around for a dress, only to find it’s not your size; everything here is organised and can be customised so you can find what you need quickly.

Use Mailing Lists

If you want to keep up-to-date on the latest deals from your favourite stores, get signed up to as many mailing lists as you can. Offers from online stores come through thick and fast, so probably best to create a new email account to avoid cramming up your primary account.

Check for Coupons and Discounts

Before you make any sort of purchase online, make sure you’ve checked for any discounts. Rarely do you have to pay top dollar for anything on the internet and that’s largely thanks to the various coupons and discount codes on offer. Free delivery offers on purchases of a certain amount are also worth looking out for. They might only save you a few pounds, but that’s money that could go towards another item.

Use the Size Guide

An obvious disadvantage of shopping for women’s clothing online is not being able to try before you buy. For this reason, you should always refer to the size guide before buying. Check the returns policy too if you need to send an item back, you want to know you can get a refund for it. Look for a 28-day window for returns.

Use the Wishlist

It’s far too easy to get carried away and overspend when shopping online. The best way to avoid breaking your budget is to use the wishlist. Any reputable retailer will provide one and you can use it to bookmark any tops, jeans and ladies dresses online that you love, before editing it down and checking out.

Turbans are worn by both males and females to cover their heads. This covering is made from a long cloth and it can be wrapped in several styles. Some people wear turbans because of their religious beliefs and culture. In recent times they have also become fashion statements. Cancer patients who undergo chemotherapy also wear this accessory to cover their heads.

If you are fascinated by turbans, then you can try tying a fabric around your head to mimic the style. You may need to try several times before you are able to get the turban to stay in place. You may find it necessary to use bobby pins to add stability. It is also much easier to use a headband that is designed for that purpose. However, any scarf can also be used.

The first step should be to find a long scarf that can go round your head several times. Place it at the back of your neck and then take hold of both ends and pull them upwards. Position it well on your head by pulling upwards and towards the front.

The next procedure is to cross the ends of the scarf once. Then repeat this procedure a second time. After crossing the ends again, you should notice a knot on the top part of your head. To get the scarf at the back of your neck again, pull it down and backwards. If you do this correctly you should get back to where you started.

Tie the ends of the scarf to make a knot. Leave the ends to hang on your shoulders and back. If you feel that you need more stability use hair pins. Turbans can be found in many online stores as well as local outlets. The house of Prada is responsible for first introducing this wear.

You can purchase one if you feel that you need this accessory. There are different types of turbans. They vary in patterns and colors as well as style. You can also learn how to make your own custom turban if you feel limited by patterns and colors that are available in the market.

It is also more enjoyable to wear a headband made by your own hands. You need to find a ruler, fabric glue, plastic headband and a fabric if you are to make your own turban headbands. You can find step by step instructions on how make different styles.
