Puppy puke
Submitted by ShadowAnn on June 15, 2011 - 12:22pmThe last few days my poor puppy has puked at least once a day. (As far as we know.) We normally keep him gated in the kitched while my husband and I are at work, it's too hot here to leave him kenneled. We haven't changed his food, he is still eating and drinking normally. Tank is still extremely playful. I checked the kitchen and there isn't anything he could get into that would cause him to get sick. Yesterday he ate and played fine, and it wasn't until I went to shower and came back I found he just recently puked on the couch. I don't know how often he may be puking during the work day. I was wondering if it might me the heat? We have a very sub par AC unit, so we keep Tank with his own special fan during the day. I called the vet, they just said make sure he keeps drinking water and if his habits change, to bring him in. Any idea/help? I'm getting worried!
Wouldn't know that he just got a brandnew $60 bed! My forever puppy Tank.
How is his breathing?
Could need a palette trim. Just a thought. Is it foamy?
He's breathing normally. The
He's breathing normally. The only time I notice anything foamy is after he plays ball for a while. But I think that is because the tennis ball is a soft-ish squeaky one, and tends to absorb his drool until he squeezes on it.

When my guys start puking ...
I usually put them on a bland diet of rice and boiled hemburger until they are over it for a few days. You could also give a pepcid once a day to settle the stomach also. When they are puke free for two days or so, slowly add the kibble back in.

...usually on the vet tech's shoes after a car ride. i dont know why, but he gets car sick. i give him lots of water and he is usually normal after. he pants really hard in the car (even with the a/c)...do you th ink its from panting too hard in the heat?
