ya i may end up switchin him back to eukanuba..at least then it was manageable. It all seems to have gotten worse with the salmon. he pukes more, and his poo is softer and stinkier...maybe he just hadn't gotten used to the eukanuba since he was only on it for a week or 2 before i switched him. i think i'll call the vet and ask about ibd | |

pepcid ac, sulcrulfate, tylan powder are things used with ibd but ultimately it is getting the right diet. This should not be happening with each meal Last edited by dwerten; 02-19-2010 at 09:42 AM. | |

You are not doing anything wrong! Something is going on with him, but it is not because of you! Those bowls that Cindy suggested DO slow the fast eaters down! I have had success with the Brake Fast bowl. Amazon.com: Small brake-fast bowl (Red): Home &...

| you could also try hand feeding him a few kibbles at a time and see what happens just to see reaction that way - always good to take good notes of what you are doing too and fax to vet so you may want to do this before calling him so he can see the pattern of what is going on is there any coffee ground looking spots in vomit as that is a sign of ulcers as those spots are blood |

| I called vet and he's gonna do an xray today. he seems to think it may be a piece of bone or somethin floating in his stomach that makes him full really fast or something. and if not he's gonna test him and try to find out if its megaesophagus or something else. WISH ME LUCK AND TIMMY LUCK!! i really dont want it to be something that makes feeding him miserable forever! |

| vet couldnt find any obvious obstructions anywhere in his system and his esophagus looks normal. so good news, but no reason for the throwing up..so for the next couple days i have to try giving him 5 pieces at a time at an elevated angle and see how it goes, if he keeps it down i will increase it to a 1/8 cup at end of wkend and see. If that works then hes just eating too fast without chewing...he also said that since he needs his teeth cleaned, and prob never has had them cleaned, maybe they hurt a bit when he chews and it makes him just gulf his food down rather than chewing properly. thanks for all the advice! i appreciate the help and ill keep everyone updated |

| Glad you went to the vet so you can rule that out....Good point about the elevated food dish..he also could be gulping his food because of the situation he came from..Maybe not enough food and to many other dogs...

| Great news! And, yes, their teeth can cause lots of issues. I am sure he will feel better when they are clean! Keep us updated....I am so happy to hear this news!
