Hi,, my French bulldog keeps being sick after drinking water, it’s been going on for a while now.. at first we thought it was because he tries to eat everything he sees but we keep a close eye on him so he doesn’t , it’s definitely after drinking water! & then of course he is hungry

I would have Tucker checked out by the vet. A puppy with the history of eating things is at an increased risk of something getting stuck. Sometimes they can eat something that only causes a partial obstruction and can lead to off and on nausea or vomiting. The vet will do an exam and may recommend x-rays to see if this could be the case. If all is clear, they can recommend a course of treatment to stop the spitting up water.
