Hello, thank you for your question about Snowie. The symptoms that you are describing could be signs of GI upset secondary to ingesting foreign material such as leaves, table scraps, or a new dog food. If Snowie is otherwise acting ok you can continue to monitor her and could offer her a bland diet such as boiled chicken/hamburger and white rice. If Snowie’s symptoms due not resolve or she becomes lethargic, inappetance, or starts vomiting I would recommend having her seen by a veterinarian. This could be a sign of something more serious such as foreign body obstruction, pancreatitis, etc. Hope this helps, good luck!
