I think my dog has bulimia

[Dirty Harry]

Im very worried about my dog Spanners

I think the little guy has bulimia

Get this, for the last week or so, everytime he eats, a little while later, he goes outside, eats a trailerload full of grass and sicks up his dinner everywhere!

Ive tried varying his food, from dog nuts, tinned dog food, even proper meals and prepare him a portion of what im preparing to have for a meal. Makes no difference. He'll eat everything no problem and seems to enjoy it and then same story again, off out, generous helping of grass and puke puke puke

He seems pretty happy otherwise and is full of life so im stumped

Does my dog have issues with his weight, maybe not proud of his body, body image problems?

Please help!

all dogs eat grass to get sick its like there medication god knows what your dog eat in the garden they usually will eat anything so its wise to go to the vet to be on the safe side hope its nothing too serious mate

Could be a few things

I wouldnt worry about the dog eating grass, they do this to line their stomach and eat stones to grind their own food and then they throw it up again. To be on the safe side bring to the vet but it could be nothing

He could have colitis- is there blood in the mucus?

Na, just his dinner is all he brings up

Try boiled chicken and plain rice. Sound like my dog, but she is a cavalier and is prone to it. Vet's for you , I think.

I have a 6 year old male Boxer and he eats grass all the time when I’m out with him. Honestly I think he must have been a cow in a past life.

After eating it he too does be sick he also makes a choking sound.

I talked to the vet about this and he said its nothing to worry about, its just a habit some dogs have.

He explained to me that they be sick afterwards because of the acid in the grass.

He told me that some dogs just have a habit of eating things they shouldn’t.

He told me about one dog he had to operate on that had a habit of eating stones. He was so bad he had to be opened up and the stones removed from the stomach. He now has to wear a muzzle all the time when out to stop him from doing it again.

Its defo not worms cos he's had all his shots and his check up and vet said he was fine and that was only a few weeks ago which is why this is all the more confusing, spanners got a clean bill of health, surely something serious couldnt have developed that quick, could it.....?

Fuck the vet ,go to specsavers for yourself.
