Question

Chocolate lab. Won't eat dog food. Throwing up. Urinating frequently

Laura E. McRae · Accepted Answer

I recommend that your have your dog examined by your veterinarian as soon as possible. Frequent urination can be a symptom of a lower urinary tract infection, cystitis, uroliths (crystals or stones) in the bladder, diabetes, kidney disease, or other metabolic disorders. Vomiting can also be a symptom of an underlying metabolic disorder or a simple GI upset. To control the vomiting until your appointment, withhold all food for the next 12-24 hours. Continue to provide water unless that is being thrown up as well. Then only provide sips of water or ice cubes. After 12-24 hours, reintroduce a bland diet of rice (2/3) and skinless, boiled chicken (1/3). Feed small frequent meals, waiting 1 hour between meals. Slowly transition back to your dog's normal diet over 24 hours.
