alisa asked:


I have a dalmatian who is very thin as compared to any other I have seen. she is not emaciated in any way, just very lean. We have never been too concerned as she has always gotten a clean bill of health at the vet and has LOTS of energy. there have been a couple times in the past 3 mos or so that she has vommited a large amount of kibble quite a while after she ate. we were slightly concerned but being as she acted completely normal after (had lots of energy, ate and drank fine, and has healthy BMs) we did not worry too much. We came to see my BFs mom who has 2 dogs. one of which got into must have gotten into something because he vomited it up. even though it was soon after he ate breakfast, all he vomited was the wraper and some stomach fluid, no kibble. this got me thinking that maybe my dog is not digesting her food properly and that is why she would vomit so much kibble even though she ate so long ago and also why she is so thin compared to other dalmatians…continued…
I have a call into the vet but I have asked about her weight and they have never been concerned. they say she looks fine and his very healthy. any thoughts?
she does eat very fast but the couple times that this happened, she didn’t throw up until probably at least couple hours after she ate.

My two year old Dachshund gobbled up some lettuce I had dropped while making a sandwich. I’d never seen seen him eat lettuce before. Now, I’m mildly concerned he could get sick. Help!

My upcoming living situation will require me to keep the dog in the same room as the litter box. Other than the smell, will it affect the dog in any way healthwise?

Bulging eyes. I need to know if there is anyone that has heard of a puppy having bulging eyes. Our vet has never heard of it and he called around and nothing. Maybe someone out there has heard of it and will help me take care of my puppy. If you need more information just e-mail. Thanks for your time
The puppy is a border collie mix. I have taken her to the vet and they checked the eye pressure ran blood work and it is all normal. They had her on steroids and it went away and it came back then they put her on the steroids for a month and now is comes and goes while on the steroids.
