Question

my small poodle is 19 months old. he has always been a very "picky" eater. he is also hyper ,but i've been told that this is usual behavior for his breed. in the past two days he has started wretching and giving up a yellow liquid ,this happened three times yesterday and once today. he is acting normal and his tail is NOT down. what could be wrong?

he eats once a day. cesar's puppy food (1/2 can) and i add chef michaels asstd. chicken recipes (1/2 can). he has about 3 or 4 milkbone treats whenever he uses the weeweepad. he's not "walked " he's house trained. ther are days that he does not eat his food. i have give him on rare occasions aome cheerios w. little milk or a small oeice of cheese

Accepted Answer

ok, it seems he just may have an upset tummy.

 

I would not give milk as that can cause diarrhea.the other treats are fine.

 

For today and tomorrow I would put him on a bland diet of boiled chicken and rice making sure to wash all fat off of the chicken after boiling.

I would also recommand trying to add some dry kibble into his normal diet only eating can is not good for their teeth, the dry kibble helps to clean them.

Purina one is a good quality dry that can be purchased at the grocery store.

 

If you have pepcid ( generic is famodine and really inexpensive)he can have 1/4 tablet to help lower the acid in his tummy tonight, if you do not have that he can have a teaspoon of pepto

 

Please let me know how he is doing tomorrow
