I have a 7 month old boxer/lab/pit mix that has been acting strange for the past few days. He has been caught eating feces a few times and I caught him licking his urine yesterday. He also has a bit of diarrhea (2 days) and he appears thinner than usual. His right eye is a little swollen and is slightly runny. He is prone to eating things he finds around the house. He vomited two days ago; mostly food and something white with maybe some mucus. What could this be?

He might have eaten something that either disagreed with him or something that has gotten stuck somewhere in his gastrointestinal tract. He could be sore from a hidden injury you are unaware of, he could have been exposed to some sort of toxin or irritant in his environment or this could be early signs of another condition or disease process. I recommend getting him seen by your vet for an exam, labwork and possibly x-rays. Based on these results, your vet will be better able to determine what is going on and advise you and the best treatment plan.
