Hearts break at what sick dog does after accident: “Big feelings”

A woman showcased her dog’s big feelings and how she comforts her, after the pup became sick and had an accident in the house.

Siany, who posts to TikTok under the username @sianywhit, has gone viral after sharing a clip to her account showing the aftermath of her pet throwing up in the kitchen. Newsweek has contacted @sianywhit on TikTok for comment on this story.

Siany started the video by telling the camera what had happened, and telling viewers she was about to check if the dog was all right.

And immediately, Nala the Labrador retriever lets her owner know she is in need of some comfort and attention.

As soon as Siany walks into the room, sets down the camera and sits on the sofa, Nala rushes up beside her, climbing into her lap and whining loudly, as if telling her owner just how she’s feeling.

Siany completely gives in to her, lavishing her with attention and asking sweetly: “Have you been sick?” as Nala flips on her back for belly rubs, still letting out loud whines.

Siany repeats words of comfort as Nala laps up the attention, her tail wagging softly—and even when Siany gets up, Nala follows her, grumbling and whining in the same way as her owner smiles into the camera.

Siany asked in the caption: “Anyone else’s dog this much of a crybaby?”

And TikTok users had a big response to the video, viewed over 4.8 million times and liked over 1.1 million times since being posted on November 9.

“I’m so glad she didn’t overreact,” one user posted in the comments, as another asked: “How were they wolves?”

“She frowned up,” a third added with a sad-face emoji, as a fourth wrote Nala has “got some big feelings.”

And as one comment put it: “Labs are so dramatic.”

There are symptoms that owners should watch out for if they believe their dog is sick, including lethargy, a change in appetite or weight, stiffness and rapid or difficult breathing, according to pet food makers Purina.

Vomiting can also be a symptom of a medical issue in dogs, but they may vomit from eating soiled food or something that does not agree with them. If a dog is persistently vomiting, particularly if accompanied by other symptoms or illness, owners should contact a vet as soon as possible.

In Nala’s case, it appears the sickness was a one-off, as later videos to Siany’s account show the canine having the same reaction to her owner returning home: whining, leaping onto the couch and flipping over for belly rubs and attention.

Other clips show the dog relaxing on the sofa, heading out for walks in the countryside, and lying beside a warm fire.
