| Random Gagging? My little guy in the past two-ish months has started having random gagging, sometimes with a little throwing up. I'm trying to rule our possibilities of what is causing it. He's on Wellness Puppy by advice I received here, I'm thinking of switching him to Royal Canine adult? He's 10 months and I was thinking of spending a long time mixing to get him on it slowly. I'm sure I'm thinking to much😑 sorry, just looking for advice.

| Not to be gross but how are his stools? Sometimes that can be a sign of parasites so I would probably take a sample in just to rule that out. It only costs me about $20 to do that so it's a relatively inexpensive thing to rule out. |

| Doesn't look abnormal, but you could be right! I think I'll take some down to her and see what she finds. I've been mixing his food with a different brand and he seems to be eating a lot better, I'm a happy momma. :-)

| Both mine seem to gag after drinking water. They sometimes even bring up a little liquid.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | One thing I'd be wondering about here is that he could have GERD (reflux / regurgitation). http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/die...wallowing.html

| Momo used to hack, a lot, couple x's a day...he threw up a huge hair ball! He doesn't cough & hack anymore. Vet used to prescribe pepcid. He's 7, so this hairball took years to develop I think...he licks everything, me, the floor, his paws...his nickname is Momo Roomba. But he hardly ever threw up, so I'm thinking it's something else maybe. Hope you find the cause.

Once he threw up the huge hairball, he stopped making those noises. He used to play w/rubber balls all the time. I stopped giving it to him bc it would get a lot of hair & dust on it. I clean my floors, obsessively.
