I’ll try to make this short.... We sold our house in December and had a contract on a new house that was supposed to close within a couple of days of us selling our old house. We were also going out of town two days after we had sold our house. My parents agreed to doggy sit our sweet Beasley. My parents have 2 other dogs. And after about 4 days of us being out of town, I got a call that Beasley was being picked on by the other dogs, and he was messing all over the house and they wanted to take him to the doggy hotel. I set him up at our vets office and my Dad took him and dropped him off, and did not bring his Fromms food he has been eating since we got him. He’s 11 months old today! Fast forward, we get back from our trip, and find out we are not closing on our new house due to delays, so we were in a hotel and Beasley would have to stay at the doggy hotel. Closing continued to get pushed and we ended up living in a hotel for a month. 5 kids, and us, in a hotel over the holidays, without our baby boy. We went and saw him regularly, but it was really tough. We missed his first Christmas.
We FINALLY closed on our house and went and picked him up that day. We are doing a major remodel on our new house, and I’m getting worried about Beasley. When I feed him (1 cup, 3 times a day, Fromms puppy dry food) he inhales it and then coughs and throws up. I thought he maybe wasn’t getting enough so I added a bit more and it made it worse. I am now giving him small amounts over a 10 min. Period so he doesn’t eat it so fast. He looks skinny to me, and he seems small for almost a year old. There are contractors in our house every day, and he gets moved around for his safety. Last night when I fed him, he started to choke, and fell over, like he couldn’t breathe. I was able to help him get the food out and he’s ok now.
So, is the stress of the new house, the construction, be the chaos of this process causing him issues? Is it because he didn’t have his food at the doggy hotel and now he’s readjusting to his old food? It’s been 3 weeks. Do I need to switch his food, maybe a wet food? How do I get his weight up if he’s vomiting up when he eats? He’s our only pet, so he doesn’t compete for food.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
