Hello everyone.
I have a problem. Actually Diezel does. He has not been eating and scarfing down his food as normal. He was doing this about two months ago, when he ate, he threw up and I took him to the vet. They prescribed some meds for him, and he seemed to be doing better.
I guess within the past couple of weeks, he seems to eat EVERYTHING around him instead of his food. ie. toilet paper, t.p. rolls, dryer towels, paper, anything he can find thats NOT supposed to be in his mouth. But not his food.
He eats his treats when I give it to him, and when I feed them Dozer goes straight for his bowl and starts eating, while Diezel sniffs and moves on to grass, or dirt, or a stick. I have tried putting him in the kitchen with nothing else but his food, and he just lays down, looking at me like 'thats not what I want to eat'. When i FINALLY get him to eat his dog food, he sometimes throws up again. *not to be funny, but is there such a thing as bulimia in dogs? Because this is what it seems to be he throws up what he dosen't want. This has all resulted in no weight gain. He is not terribly skinny, but skinny enough where I want about 2-3 lbs more fat on him.
I have not changed thier diet, their breeder was feeding them puppy chow, and since then I have stayed with Dog Chow, I know its not the BEST dog food, but I HAVE experimented with others ie. Chicken soup, royal canine etc., and they don't seem to adjust to changes very well.
If anyone has any idea what I'm describing, please help me. I am most likely going to take him BACK to the vet tomorrow, but finances are a little tight this month, and I wanted to get some ideas as what could be wrong.
Sorry this was so long, and thanks for reading.
