Puppy vomiting

tylerdylan

Sadie is 5 months old and quite the fussy eater. (Vet appointment booked for today)

Since she arrived she has travelled in a crate in the car every day for an hour each way to work with me. Was never sick and jumps into the crate happily each time.

However week before last she was sick in the crate ate it then curled back up!

I've been feeding her a little natures own wet mixed with the dry and she seems to like that, however last week vomited all the food up again in the evening." days after the car one. She ate great on Thurs,Fri Sat and then Sunday I gave her some left over chicken (no bones) mixed with dry and that night vomited a vast quantity.
She gets daily walks and free runs and I try watch anything and everything going in but yesterday I tried to wean her off the wet food and she wont eat the dry alone. So last night had just a few nibbles and was sick in the car this morning after eating nothing .She was wormed yesterday using parazole if that's any help to the cause.
Overall she seems like a normal happy puppy however with the fussy eating and now voimiting seems unlike normal puppy behaviour.

Anyone had this issue?

Is she only getting sick after or during a car journey?

tylerdylan

She was sick first time in car after about 45 minutes and this morning 25 mins in or so but the other times at night in her crate and twice on the couch (luckily made to the garden in time phew)

I have her 12 weeks now and she has driven to Wexford with me a few times and never sick

jimf

how often are you feeding her during the day at that age im a firm believer of 4 meals up the age of at least 8 months

tylerdylan

Giving her 3 feeds a day. But simply won't eat without the bit of wet mixed in. She went 2 days without food in the week I first got her. Simply refused to eat the dry.

To be honest OP you need to be persistent with the dry food - my cocker was similar when he was young when I moved him over to Burns he didn't eat for 4 days straight.... i called my vet (thinking he would starve to death etc) Vet reassured me no dog will starve with food in front of him... day 5 he ate everything and never looked back.. 2 days isnt soo bad - they will eat when they are hungry enough.. persistance is the key.

I've my guy a taste of the wild grain free now - with a mixed boiled carrots / broccoili.. some days boiled mince mixed with veg... or nuts mixed with tuna etc.. you can vary her diet but personally id keep her off all tined food (unless its a very good quality)

There's no rule that says you have to feed a dry food. There's plenty of great quality wet foods as well as the raw or home prepared route.

OP, is there any pattern in the length of time between her having eaten, and her vomiting?

tylerdylan

There is no pattern that I can see at all.
She has eaten and been sick hours later and not eaten for hours and been sick.

The vet gave her a vitamin and antibiotic shot and antobiotics for the rest of the week. Said she's a little on the thin side. then I was worried that she had started to become car sick but she happily jumps into car and even the vet said most likely not that.

She could have picked up a bug or something.
I went back to the bit of wet food mixed with dry, I use the Real nature can and only give a 1/4 of the can per feed.
