Can excessive water drinking make him vomit?

[triciaderek]

Hello friends! Greetings from the island of Malta for the new year, we hope that the new year brings joy and happiness to your families and to your boxers!

I have a question...I have been noticing lately that if our boy Rino drinks too much water he tends to vomit soon after. His stool is fine and he doesnt seem to look weak actually the contrary...but when he drinks eitehr a lot or he doesnt take a break he vomoits...is that normal in boxers or should i alarm myself?

many thanks

Kaybie does the exact same thing. It's just too much water too quickly and they don't know when enough is enough. I just tell her to stop drinking at a certain point and then she doesn't throw up. If she's really worked up from playing, etc, then I just let her have small amounts at a time until she cools off. It's actually a pretty common thing.

thanks so much! At least we know its a normal thing then with boxers, infact I started controlling the amount of water he drinks and always keep it fresh.
