>>It's a little like having a baby again. She has been doing this thing since last night that has me concerned. She has been retching or gagging audibly, enough to make her body shake. It's like she's going to vomit but she doesn't vomit. I suspect it's from eating grass, a habit I have been unable to break her of so far. I'm going to call the vet's when they open.

Actually, dogs are more omnivores than people think. It does sound like she's gotten hold of something she shouldn't. When you talk to your vet, ask them about getting a 3cc syringe for the giving of Pepto Bismol (yes, it works on dogs too) or Kaopectate for the drooly mouth and the squirty butt, as they're known around my house.
