christinepi Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Tracker's now regurgitated right after his meals on three different occasions during a 2.5 to 3 week span. He also has diarrhea issues which is why he got an ultrasound yesterday, and everything, incl. the stomach, looks normal. He has had laryngeal paralysis for over a year that seems to be getting worse only very very slowly. When his vet felt him up thoroughly ca one week or ten days ago she felt nothing worrisome in his throat area. Does anyone have any suggestions?

LaFlaca Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Only one suggestion: withhold water for about 1/2 hour after each meal. This helped with my regurgitator, Wendy, Best wishes for dear Tracker.

XTRAWLD Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Bummer. I have no real ideas to help as I haven't had this particular experience. Would Pepcid help at all? I know it's an acid reducer as well as preventing stomach ulcers. Wonder if it would help hold down food?

MaryJane Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 What are you feeding, how often, and how much at one time? Also, was it right after exercise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christinepi Posted August 11, 2018 Author Share Posted August 11, 2018 Not right after exercise. Just resting. I fed him twice a day and it was always half kibble, half wet. Then he recently refused the wet so I gave him only kibble and maybe that is the problem? Yesterday I started soaking the kibble and adding some wet food again. So far so good. I have this hunch this is connected to his laryngeal paralysis. I googled that and regurgitation, and that's a common symptom. He's had LP for over a year now. It's become a tiny bit more prominent lately in terms of his breathing getting a bit louder, so maybe the regurgitation is also a sign of things slowly worsening.

christinepi Posted August 11, 2018 Author Share Posted August 11, 2018 Forgot to mention I switched to feeding him 3x/day, breaking the portions into thirds. He gets 2/3 kibble (soaked) and 1/3 wet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
