Its always when he is eating. It used to never have food in it but now it does a bit. I had him on Eukanuba for small dogs (what i have my 6 lb pom on) and i just switched him to Purina One for sensitive systems 2 days ago. But he is still vomiting during eating, maybe more now. Its not EVERY time he eats, but most times nowadays. Vet said to try new food, which im doing, but still worried. What happens is, i give him a lil food, then i take it away to see how it goes and he starts licking his mouth and his mouth sounds really sticky with saliva, and then he throws up the white sack-like vomit. Once he finishes eating the last of his food, hes fine and happy to go play with toys and Spice, my pomeranian. What could this be??? |
Most All yorkies have sensitive stomachs and digestive issues.. I would do for your Timmy what I did for my Corki.. Give him small amts of boiled chicken and white rice.. Give him this two times a day in small amts until his system calms down.. Gradually add his hard food to the chicken/rice mixture and see how he reacts.. If he continues vomiting, I would switch to a completely home made diet which is what I had to do for Corki. Personally, I understand these commercial foods are what the Vet's recommend.. Read the Labels.. It's mostly preservatives and things dogs Do Not Need. It's Harmful to them. I dealt with many bouts of stomach/bowel problems with her until I started with the Homemade recipe and supplements.
Vets know health care. I'm sorry when it comes to nutrition, most of them DO NOT know what these dogs thrive on. You also may have to start him on carafate to settle his stomach.. BUT their Diet is what causes what you've explained.. Keep trying different foods geared towards this breed. I understand Royal Canine is the choice of many top yorki breeders.. Again, I prefer Homemade, Fresh Vegetables, meat, pumpkin, cottage cheese along with vitamin and mineral supplements. It worked for me. My dog thrived on it.. The receipe was given to me by a Holistic Vet.
