I have had a few rescues and they ate until they vomited for the first few weeks..I had to limit the amount..and feed 4 small meals a day instead of two normal size...this may not be your puppies problem..just offering my experince.
I agree with this info...I would divide his food up into many small meals for a while until he slows down and stops gobbling food...What breed puppy is this?...Flagyl (metrodiazonle) is not the drug of choice for young puppies.
