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. |
Thanks, I do appreciate it. Just to be clear, nothing close to half his calories come from human food. I am feeding him him chicken with a starch this week to keep him on a bland diet and give his digestive system a rest.
Also, he has never vomited before in my care. He vomited three times in the past week, and obviously I am concerned. I'm still giving him the Flagyl.
