Slider eats twice a day (kibble, canned food, with water). He has alway=
s been a good eater, never wolfed down his meals. About three weeks ago=
he started bolting down his food to the point of choking, running aroun=
d like he was having a hard time breathing, and finally vomiting a small=
portion - maybe a quarter of a cup, before catching his breath. I trie=
d adding more water to his food and this didn't slow him down much. I f=
inally put a plastic bottle in his bowl, a tad bigger than 1/3 the size =
of the bowl, and this forced him to eating more slowly. Can anyone thin=
k of a physical reason why a dog would suddenly alter his eating pattern=
to this extent? =
In addition to normal vet bills, I've had three mega vet bills this year=
(all involving life threatening conditions requiring surgery) and while=
I don't want to jeopardize his health, I don't want to take him to the =
vet if it's not a physical problem. Any ideas would be appreciated.
