Debo's vomiting
Hi all,
Debo hasn't been lucky recently. He recovered from his last problem and we having another one.
Before I start, please don't judge me.
I started ovr week ago. Suddenly he was sick, few hours after eating. We blamed peanutbutter, cause he did react badly before. That hasn't helped. He was sick again. We removed biscuits from his diet ( he's on raw), cause before he did develope allergy to other things. He was fine for a day, and back to normal. It started again. We put him on rice/chicken diet - one day ok and back again. Starved him for 30 hrs, all good, he ate one meal, was fine. Second meal - was woken up last night cause he was sick again. It seems like he's vomiting more at night and about 5-6 hrs after eating. I give him purina fortiflora. He's not dehydrated, he has appetite, he acts his normal....
I've booked vet today.....
I know you might say why waitng so long, but there were days were he was fine... And the vet would suggest yhe same thing.... But now I'm worried.....

Re: Debo's vomiting
I just want to sit and cry, there seem to be problems all the time with him. Poor baby. I'm starting to think that all the problems he has might be because he's not from the proper breeder, that because we dont know the health history of the father ( never met him), he might has some problems. I love him even more and wouldn't choose diffrently but that will make me think twice before getting another pup from not a proper breeder

Re: Debo's vomiting
how long has he been having the fortiflora? if he's raw fed he shouldn't need anything like that - but to be honest i don't trust anything that purina produce!
have you tried giving him something to settle his stomach? Kaogel is a good settler as it contains kaolin which soaks up impurities.

or pro-kolin

is he okay in himself, or does he seem a bit 'off'? is his poo normal? normally i would be concerned about constantly bringing up his food in case of a blockage, but you say it isn't all the time?
poor breeding can lead to all sorts of health problems, but unless he's always been like this, i doubt it's due to that.

Re: Debo's vomiting
You will feel better now after your vet visit. Fingers crossed and hopefully he's on the way to feeling better too

Re: Debo's vomiting
So an update. There was no vomiting so far. He woke up at night a bit distressed, I thought hes gonna be sick but he calmed down and went back to sleep. This morning he had his breakfast and after 30 min walk. After that,maybe 20 min after he looked again like his going to be sick but he managed to fight it. At 10 am is going to be 24hrs since he got that injection to stop him being sick. He's such a worry.

Re: Debo's vomiting
Is the rice to settle his stomach? If so, steamed sweet potato is a great option

Re: Debo's vomiting
Yes, don't want to go back to raw straight away after the chicken rice diet. Or shall I just do it, just instead if 2 meals, go for 3?
