Re: Your dogs daily health check

Does anyone know a reason for this? he wretches for around 30seconds and then brings up the bile., he seems ok after this however?
Has anyone had this with their pup or know of it?
Any answers/comments or advice would be amazing!
Thanks,

Dogs can often bring up bile when their stomachs are empty. You also often see them eating certain types of grass to make themselves sick and bring up bile then almost instantly along with the grass. Dont know how many meals you have him on a day? But you could try perhaps giving him 3 smaller meals,
or two and a little late supper or a few biscuits, to see if that does stop it.
If the frequency carries on though and especially if you get whole day bouts of it again, then personally I would get him checked out at the vets. A bit of intermittent, infrequent bile occasionally is one thing, but too frequently and all day sicky bouts can be another.
