| Throwing up-Boston Does anyone here know if throwing up is really all that common among Boston Terriers? My Boston, Bella, has been doing it since the day we got her. She had an upper respiratory infection when we got her . . .and originally I thought it was the medicine . . .then I thought it was over eating/drinking. I've asked my vet about this before (and he's very good . . .he also has Bostons) and he said that wasn't all that uncommon in the breed . . .that his will do that at times too.
The problem is, it's gotten out of control. I don't exercise her right after she eats, cause she'll throw up . . .I try to regulate the amount of food she gets, cause she'll throw up, if she drinks too fast, she throws up. It seems like we're constantly cleaning this mess up. She'll turn right around and eat it too . . .so it's not like there's a loss of appetite . . .and no, I don't let her eat it, but sometimes there's so little that it's gone by the time I get the stuff to clean it.
Today, my husband calls me after having her out of the crate for only an hour at most. He said, "I can't take this. Bella's going back in her crate. She's already thrown up three times again . . .two times on the carpet. Every time I turn around she's throwing up! It's just watery with a few pieces of food like normal, but I've barley had her out an hour!" (We only have carpet upstairs, so most of the time this isn't an issue)
I'm going to call the vet tomorrow and ask about this again. I can understand it happening every once and a while, but this is ridiculous. She acts perfectly normal otherwise too . . .eats, sleeps, plays, drinks.
Any ideas? |
