Help! Sick Lab Pup

[LucyA]

Hey Guys,
As you are aware we have a little 13 week old golden Labrador puppy living with us!
Recently she is being sick a lot. It is after she has eaten, not after every meal but after some, this morning she seems to have thrown up her full meal.
She is on Pedigree Complete Puppy Large breed and has been since she was 7 weeks old with no problems before now. The only variation she gets is with water or without, I know she is a bit old for it but we sometimes still soak her biscuits to make sure she is getting enough water from time to time!
Is there anything you can suggest or has anyone experienced this first hand?
Thanks for reading,
Lucy xx

Awwwww don't know hunni, Tilly is a bit sicky, usually after food, then she just eats it again if we're not quick enough

Could she have developed an intolerance to something in her food + is it worth changing to see how she gets on ?

Hope she gets better xxx

Cant really help Lucy but Troy would only be sick after meals as a pup because he woofed his food down too quickly
Just a thought does she eat at the same time and place as Blitz?

Sounds like she has a sensitive tummy to me i would look at a change of diet personally this food she is havin now isnt very good

Tracey, she's on 3 meals a day and really it's breakfast she has the most trouble keeping down, she is still pooing normally and I thought if she had an upsEt tummy she would have runny stools! Is that not the case?

Linda, we have a little balcony from our kitchen, when I feed them I put Honey out there and Blitz in the kitchen, we let them eat together before but now Blitz is raw fed they are always separated. But they are always fed at the same time.

She is fine in herself and it's never between meals, do you think we should try a different food?

Thank you for your replies xxx

If it's only the morning feed thats the problem it might be she cant deal with a large volume of food on top on top of an empty stomach. I'd probably cut the morning feed into two and feed her 1/2 first thing, then wait a while and feed the other half. If she's eating too fast then it might be an idea to give her first half of the morning feed to her by hand. It's a nice thing to do in terms of bonding, but you will get dribbled on!

Personally I wouldn't have my dog on pedigree chum, but if she's eating afternoon and evening meals without issue then I wouldn't have thought the chum would be at fault. Brands I like are royal canin, but if you're tight like we are then pets at home own brand has a pretty similar nutritional make up to royal canin, and it's usually buy one bag get one half price :-)

If she continues to be poorly, or if she gets worse rapidly, it'd be time for the vets.

Hey Thanks for the responses!
I think we are going to try what you suggested with giving her half of her breakfast at a time, we are convinced it's not the food as like I say it has only just recently started happening, if it carries on we will look into the PAH brand, I will keep you updated,
Any other suggestions still more than welcome
