My Poorly boy

yes thanks mate, hes full of himself again. he eats too fast which makes him sick sometimes so we have to watch him but hes full of beans again. And Turkey :)
glad to hear he's better, had lot of experience with dog with gastric issues, no fun. When he gulps the food he's gulping air too, which could lead to sick or actual vomit, have you tried putting something in his bowl?, you could block the centre of the bowel, and he has to eat round the edges ,if you know what I mean, you can buy plastic bowls, with little pillars in them, dog has to steer round to get the food, you could try a bun tray if you had one handy too. Does he have competition at home, another cat or dog? I have a 17 month old Springer, had gastro issues a while back, a blockage that resolved without surgery, & lots of sardines...He eats slow enough, but I also have a cat, & when I take the dog out, nearly always, goes everywhere with me, the little bugger is like a hoover, clearing up every last bit of grub ,in case the cat gets it. The big worry about air is bloat, more so in bigger , less active,overweight dogs, can be fatal if it goes unnoticed.It's great he's doing well again, I find when the dog's not well, you're not the better yourself, be good

edit :just see pabloescaban has posted same suggestion re the bowl, never saw the sniffle mat before, good idea, but my fella would probably eat that too....
 
Ah yes good trick putting something in the middle of his bowl, I'll try that. As for competition he has his little mate but she doesn't give him much of a battle, he wins hands down.
Thanks for the advice guys.

if you could feed them seperately, just for a little while ,he might slow down eating then
 
Yeah she was in a right mess when i broke into into the garage with the rspca officer that came out not got the pictures anymore that were used in court against them but trust me they were horrific and very upsetting but they got what they deserved in court and she is a happy trauma free dog now after a few sessions with a specialist thank god :(y):;)
 
how these people can do this stuff baffles me. what they need is treating the same way. I'm so glad to see she is having a good life with you now. Beautiful dog. If I wasn't allergic to most dogs and cats I would have liked to work with animals, but probably would have ended up punching one of these gits.
