Also, hw long has he been eating fish? Maybe it's too much protein for him. One of my puppies had loose stool and vomiting from a high protein food...the vet said to change it to lower protein...I switched foods and it stopped.
Good luck...I hope he's o.k. |
The other day when he got car sick it was 3 1/2 hours after he ate. And he's eaten in the car before (we've done long road trips with him, and he's been in a plane a few times) so I think it was the fish, not the car.
He's been eating fish in different forms since he was 4 weeks old. It all started when I was at the breeder's house, I brought her lobsters and he licked my hands after I ate one :P When he got older we let him have it as a treat, the last month or so I started using fish as a supplement to his kibble (NOW!) because the Tripe I was feeding was back ordered. He's had many types of fish. First canned Atlantic Salmon, then fresh haddock which he loved, he's had sardines and now we've tried pacific salmon. I'm thinking the pacific salmon has too much protein in it, so maybe it was my fault because I gave him too much. I'm thinking if I'm going to stick with the salmon I need to reduce the amount. Because the amounts were "so small" I was told by many people that switching it up wouldn't cause problems, but maybe I did. The other possibility is that I just happened to get a bad can.
So in a long story I've answered the question, yes he's used to the protein, but I'm starting to think I've over fed him.
I'm going to be disappointed if I can't keep feeding him fish, cause man his coat was beautiful and his appetite picked up a lot. He just generally was really healthy on it, or maybe I'll just have to stick with sardines and haddock.
