 Sick pup
Could it be that giving him all the daily food at once in the morning allows him to gobble down too much at once? He could be overeating and once it gets mixed with stomach liquid it expands and it can only come back up? I had a similar issue and two things helped a lot. One, I fed him three smaller meals in a special dish that limits the eating rate, and two I got small breed kibble with smaller pieces that digest more easily if not chewed. I found that the expanded larger kibble sometimes came back whole, and perhaps it was harder for it to pass out of the stomach into the intestines? The fact that he seems well in other ways is encouraging.
Having said all the above, there is a chance that your dog has some medical reason for throwing up, and he should be seen by a vet if it continues. As your dog is relatively young these symptoms could be early signs of some underlying problem, and he should be tested. So please see a vet if he is not better in a couple of days, better to be safe than sorry.
Get well soon little man. |
