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

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
