Food running through pup - is this normal?

P_1

Morning folks, just a quick one for you.

The new pup (Pug-Jack Russell mongrel) is for lack of a better term, crapping for Ireland at the Olympics.

He'll have a graze at his food, have a little drink from his bowl, and then usually within 5 minutes offer up a little gift.

This cycle tends to repeat itself every half hour or so.

He's been wormed and had his first load of shots.

Is this cycle of eating then crapping normal or am I overreacting?

yeah i was thinking that alright.

the brother who bought him (a few days before christmas and made the rookie error of not buying him any toys) has been throwing up a bit lately, i guess he might have passed something on to 'his' dog. (of course guess who's looking after him)

It's unlikely that the cause is a human to dog bug. It could be you've changed his diet from what the breeder was feeding. What age is the pup and what are you feeding?

Are they normal healthy looking poos or runny ones?

Problem solved *hopefully

turns out that the brother bought him pedigree chum to eat, quick shop later and all should hopefully be grand

It's the change in food that's making him sick. Ask whoever your brother bought him off what they were feeding him? He need's to be changed over very slowly from one food onto another.

He was on the Royal Canin puppy mix, just picked up a bag of it and the little lad wolfed down a bowl of it. Everything coming out of him since is more regular and is a bit more solid shall we say
