I had a strange experience today that I wanted to share to see if anyone has had a similar reaction.
Linus eats almost nothing other than dog food, peanut butter, and cheese. He's a finicky bulldog, especially when it comes to fruits and veggies, so imagine my surprise when I was eating orange segments and he began to take interest. Since he's never had an orange, I decided to give him a piece of one - and he liked it - so I gave him a few more. He had about 1/4 of a small orange - at the most.
Fast forward to this morning and Linus is in bad shape. He vomited after breakfast twice and then pooped three times, two of which were very runny. He proceeded to pant and shiver for the next hour while trying to get some rest before falling asleep.
I was with him until noon. I took him temp and looked at his gums and everything was fine but he seemed so ill - and the ONLY variable in his usual routine was the orange.
Of course, I immediately looked to see if oranges are bad for dogs but I found evidence to the contrary - a healthy snack. So what happened? Has anyone ever given their bully oranges? Any good or bad reactions?
Luckily, Linus ate some dinner and is doing much better now, snuggled up on the couch with momma.
