My almost 7 year old Puggle Minnie has started throwing up after she has food or a snack. She has been on the same food all her life and the same snacks too. This throwing up just started on Sunday of this week (July 23rd). She also recently started hiding under the bed in the mornings because she doesn’t want to go out. I have an appointment with her vet on Friday but I am worried and wondered if anyone had any suggestions or thoughts. Thank you!
How long should you wait to play with a boxer puppy (almost 8mos old) after they eat? I’ve read about bloat and am trying to nail down our morning routine.
When our Dobe was a pup, we kept her quiet for an hour before and an hour after all meals. I would stick to that…and maybe, instead of playing, use puppy’s meal as a training opportunity, since mental work trumps physical work for wearing out a dog of any age. Use the meal as training treats instead of actual treats. 🙂
Thanks!
Does the breeder seem concerned?
We just got a cockatiel and he doesnt move so much he rarely eats/drinks and when i get near him he starts shaking i guess he is 6 months old what can go wrong?
Was he hand raised? He may not be hand tame, which would make him terrified.
my dog has been limping for 3 days now does not want to put weight on her left front paw and her left back paw gives out and she seems to be moving to one side and falls she is not herself and just wants to sleep.
I would advise you to get in to see your vet. The fact that she is limping so badly still and is lethargic has me quite concerned. Your vet will be able to give her a thorough exam and run blood tests for all sorts of possibilities, including Lyme. From there, you should be able to get a good diagnosis and start to heal your girl. Very best of luck!!

Your dog needs veterinary attention asap. What your describing makes me think of tick-borne disease or something else equally or more serious.
My cat just recently lost her kittens when they ran away on the Fourth of July. Now she’s hardly eating and she’s shedding massive amounts of fur. She’s not taking good care of herself and seems lost all the time. Is there anything I can do?
I would get her to the vet, to be quite honest.
I agree with laura. Also please try to provide her a quiet, warm, stress free place to rest and lots of food options. Please also have her spayed.
I can see something popng out of my dog’s ryt eye..I took her to a dog’s clinic and they said it’s okay… but I think it’s troubling her. She is 10 year old
I would try to get a second opinion. To me, eyes are always a serious situation, and I wouldn’t want to take a chance and regret it. Good luck.
My foster kitten has really bad diarrhea and we have tried everything.
Hello,
I need a better description of “everything”. Please. Have you brought a fecal sample to your vet for analysis? This is the best place to start. In fact I usually recommend three serial exams before I rule out parasites in kittens. I also think the diet can be tweaked. But I need to know the age of your kitten before I can comment on this. Pleaee give me more info
I am getting an 8mo old boxer. Currently, she is eating from an elevated food bowl. I’m planning to have her eat from a bowl on the ground when I get her as I’ve heard elevated food bowls can increase the risk of bloat. I’ve seen conflicting opinions and research…which is better?
I have never heard of an elevated bowl causing bloat. I have however recommended lots of dogs use an elevated bowl if I am concerned about megaesophogus.
Is it possible this is a bad bag? Definitely talk with the vet about this.
Is the vomiting accompanied by diarrhea? Is she drinking? Is she able to keep any food down? Although it is late in the day I would call my vet to get their thoughts. Best wishes for Minnie!
Thank you. No diarrhea. My husband just told me that she did eat her food late last night with no issues. We aren’t giving her snacks since that seems to be the trigger. We have an appointment with the vet tomorrow. I appreciate you responding!
Thank you, I will.
After the vet, I was going to encourage an elimination diet to figure out the trigger. Stick to high quality treats from now on. 🙂 Good luck!
