My Rottweiler puppy has a bit of an issue with regurgitating her food. She is fed Raw and is now on 1lb twice a day (she is 7 months and about 23kg now so adjust her food with her Weight). The vet has said she is sure its due to her wolfing her food down and over stretching her stomach as she regurgitates it and then re-eats it and then is fine.
We have got her an anti gulp bowl which slows her down, and she has each meal in 2 portions at again to slow her down but we are still having the problem, food is also at room temperature. She is a bit of a wimp and whenever she feels she needs to be sick she howls and howls until she regurgitates then re-eats it and is fine.
I did a little test the other day, and I am sure she is making herself sick. It might sounds really daft, and far too intelligent of a thing for her to do, but she will only do it if she goes into the living room. If we close the door and she is in any other part of the house she is fine. If we let her into the living room and play with her with her toys, she is fine... In my mind she cant surely NEED to regurgitate if she is only doing it in one room? She stands with her head down to the ground, pacing around and almost like she is making herself do it?
Any ideas to get her out of this is much appreciated, her howling must really be annoying my neighbors!!
