Vomiting 2 yr old bulldog

[2BullyMama]

Ok so the vet kept Rosie Tuesday night and all day Wednesday. He ran multiple tests ... pancreas, blockage etc... He said he is perplexed as too what is causing her vomiting. He said he’s going to make an educated guess and say that it’s some form of GERD. And that is what they are treating her for, he didn’t feel that changing her diet was necessary. However I went out and bought earthborn holistic dry food and will be switching her over slowly over the course of the next few days anyways. Thank you for taking the time to listen to me.hopefully Rosie will begin to feel better over the next few days

Keep us posted, please

Let us know how she does with the food change.

My parents cat was eating RC and was getting deathly ill. I had finally convinced them to switch foods and they did and now their cat is fine. So I'm hoping it's nothing serious with Rosie and maybe all she needs is a good food. The ingredients in some of these foods are just awful.

So update on Rosie:
She is doing great on grain free food no more vomiting �� we did have to go back to the vet though Rosie split her toenail and completely separated the nail from the kwik! She had to be put to sleep to have the entire nail removed. Vet said it should grow back after a couple months and Rosie is doing fine.

Great news ! Did vet put her on antibiotics for the nail removal? My vet did when my dog broke her nail, but prescribed ten days, and I just gave it for about 4 days. Give her some probiotics if he did. Is she allergy free on her new food? ie. no ear infections or licking her paws or throwing up or loose poos?

Yes she got antibiotics for 10 days...no loose poops, no ear infections, she has been licking her paw but its the paw with the broken nail so....all seems good

Great news ! Try giving her some probiotic while she is on the antibiotic ( a couple of hours after antibiotic dose ) and for a week after, I would say in order of preference:
1) Commercial ones like Herbsmith Microflora Plus , Proviable DC , Probiotic Miracle
2) live sauerkraut from refrigerator section of health food store or some supermarkets, or kefir
3) live cultured fat free, no added sugar or fake fat yoghurt

Awesome -- great news on the diet! Sorry about the nail --- hope she heals up soon

Ok... keep us posted.

however,Royal Canin is not a very good food and is mostly fillers with very little nutritional value. They have great commercials to make you think it's a fantastic food but it is not.

If you'd like to think about switching his food here is a list of the kibbles many of us here have good results with, no particular order.

many years ago I also fed this food and my first bulldog Nitschke would consistently throw up we spent months trying to figure out what his issue was and I finally had allergy testing done and it turned out he was allergic to rice. Or female turned out she was allergic to chicken. at that time I started researching and realized how bad the food was for them based on the ingredients not only their allergies.

Of course Raw is your best go to if you have time and are willing but here are some of the best kibblesare members have success with

Avoid grains and chicken...

Hi,

Yes, please get her off of Royal Canin, and all the brands that 2BullyMama listed are great. Dinah is 26 months and she is on the Orijen Tundra... it's been great.

Rosie keeps licking her toe where her nail/kwik was removed. Even though she is on antibiotics I’m worried about infection.... anyone have any tips to keep her from licking?

you could get some of the self sticking gauze and wrap it?

 

[Dollys Owner]

A gauze pad under Coban wrap would be good.https://www.walmart.com/ip/3M-Coban-Self-Adherent-Wrap/48649486

I came home at my usual time and found that Dinah had thrown up on the carpet. I called the vet and they told me to monitor her.
After that I took her out and she seemed fine. skipping and running around, came back in and she's playing with her toys like nothing happened.

Should I give her dinner or hold off till tomorrow?

Thank you all in advance.
