I agree that it is probaly Mega and the pup should go in for a xray - until you can get the puppy to the vet - start soaking his food - and make a mush - feed him several smaller meals a day and elevate the bowl ( should be high enough that he just bends his head to eat ) - there are many degrees in mega - some will "correct" with age - some won't? - Good luck with your pup and keep us posted Barb Hefner Marquin GSD -----Original Message----- From: murfamx4@xxxxxxx To: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tue, 27 May 2008 9:12 am Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Puppy help needed Thank you to everyone that responds to this. I have a 6 1/2 week old litter of GSDs They are all gaining weight and very active and energetic. My problem is that one of them throws up almost every time he eats. It is whole kibbles and a very thick clear phlem like liquid. He doesn't do this every time but most of the time. He then quickly re-eats it and is fine. My first thought was that he was eating to fast and wasn't chewing the food enough. The kibbles is usually in whole pieces. I started spreading the kibbles out over a 5 X 5 ft area and let the pups feed like chickens. That has helped a little but hasn't stopped it. The second worry is this massive amount of phlem like liquid that come up with the kibbles. There is no blood and isn't discolored at all. There are small bubbles but I was thinking that came from being thrown up. Any educated guesses???????????????????? Thanks again for any help Glenn Shaden Shepherds ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
