Puppy Sick!
« on: March 13, 2014, 09:47:22 PM »
I have recently moved Charlie from JWB puppy food to JWB adult food, he's is 6 1/2 months.  The reason we didn't persevere with junior was because I was told the adult had less protein and would help to calm his endless excitement!

At the same time I have also given Charlie his first nylabone, which he loves!

For the past three evenings, tonight included, Charlie has been sick 2-3 hours after his last meal of the day. His afternoon poos are also of the runny variety! I am going to pop him to the vets tomorrow but I'm wondering if it could be the adult food or if nylabone's are not the best thing.

Never used nylabones personally but I have heard a lot about them causing dicky tummies in pups x

That what I was wondering, always seems to coincide with final chew of evening, he's not bitten any off but maybe it's an irritant on his delicate tum

Perhaps its that and the new food in combination, overwhelmed his tummy a bit?

Nylabone will be removed when he goes to bed tonight so we can start afresh tomorrow.  Cows ears also make him sick, what can I try for him to chew on besides his stag antler?

Hudson has pizzle sticks and cow hooves, which both go down fine with him. He had colitis when he was tiny so I'm always careful what I give him. He also likes a whole carrot to chomp on but they don't last so long!

Charlie has frozen carrots too, they are gone in less than a minute! My local pet supplies does stock cows hooves, I'll pick one up tomorrow and see how he takes to it :)

Do you think it may be the frozen carrot - if it is eaten frozen, that may have an effect on his still young tum?

Thankfully no, he only has half at a time and we originally gave them to him when he was teething and he has always been fine on them. Also he's not had one for the last few nights.

I have heard JWB adult food doesn't always agree with tums so may try him on burns or something similar.

Hudson is also on JWB - he has the junior though, we changed straight over from puppy to junior without any problems. See what the vet says but I reckon its probably the nylabones and hopefully cutting them out will settle him down. I wouldn't change his food until his tummy is back to normal.

Archie never had a solid poo on JWB. They were vaguely formed in the morning but always totally runny in the afternoon. They were never solid. I've heard other dogs have had a similar problem on it. Not all foods suit all dogs so it may be worth trying something else.

Definitely think it's his food, ate his breakfast fine but as soon as he was given his kibble in his treat ball for dinner he was sick.  His nylabone was taken away last night so he has not had it today.

Aw.. today was the first day of his new training regime after we had a session yesterday with a new trainer.  Not much hope of that without kibble!!

Vet appointment for late afternoon  :huh:

Maybe the adult formula is too rich for him? Poor boy. Good luck at vets xx
