As soon as we got outside, he perked right up, and when we got back inside, he ate some chicken and potatoes.
Usually we go out for a big play session in the afternoon, and then have an indoors play session in the evening. He's never been big on morning walks.
I'm still a little concerned because he seems to be acting unusally, but at least he's not throwing up! |
I'm glad Thor's doing better; I still think it's a good idea to keep a food dairy, since you are giving him a wide variety of food. This will really help you see a correlation between certain foods and vomiting. As a comparison, Joey only vomited the little yellow foamy stuff about three times total, as a puppy. He hasn't ever done it since. I would say that a dog that is vomiting once a week has a problem that needs to be addressed. Also, I'm not sure if you are aware of it, but if you are not feeding a dog food, and over half his calories come from human food, than most people recommend supplements. Dogs need as much calcium as grown women, and there is no way to get that much calcium into them without supplements. Commercial dog foods contain the calcium, but if you are using more human food, I hope you consider giving him supplements. Not meaning to criticize your methods, I just want to share information I found useful.
