Why does my 8 week old puppy keep dry heaving? Pet's info: Dog | American English Coonhound | Male | unneutered | 4 lbs

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Hoyt. He could be dry heaving because he's nauseous. Feed him a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If he keeps dry heaving, he vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away. Best of luck.
