mrsmcd7 Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 We just got Max 1 week ago and he has had some loose stools, which I'm not really worried about b/c he's new to us. Today, though, he has vomited twice an eaten it before I could get him to stop. Any ideas? He has had 2 small milkbone treats this morning, but he has had those before without a problem......

Ragsysmum Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 This often happens if a dog eats too fast which new dogs often do until they get used to a routine and being fed at regular times usually twice a day. If any of my new hounds or fosters do this, I just let them eat what they have throw up again as this is not true vomit and will not harm them.

Neighsayer Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Maybe he just likes seconds! It is just the food so it won't hurt him. He should settle down once his tummy gets used to your feeding routine. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilDog Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Roscoe does this occasionally. Sometimes he just hiccups and oops! Big pile o' un-chewed kibble on the floor. Hey, if he wants to eat it again, it's less for me to clean up. Quote Lisa with Finnegan (Nina's Fire Fly) and Sage (Gil's Selma).

mrsmcd7 Posted November 8, 2010 Author Share Posted November 8, 2010 Thanks so much for putting my nerves at ease!!!!! Would you believe he asked to go outside before he threw up both times? He is so polite! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrairieProf Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 (edited) The phrase "a dog returns to its vomit" is in the Bible I believe, so there's nothing new or uncommon about that phenomenon. [Proverbs 26:11 -- I'm a geek, so I Googled.] Be aware that there's a difference between regurgitation (within an hour or so after eating, the food as it comes up is still recognizable) and true vomiting, which isn't tied to eating and produces looks like, well, vomit. The former isn't too serious, the latter might indicate a problem. Or on a very empty stomach, some dogs will throw up bile, but I doubt they'd want to eat that.
