pit bull puppy throwing up

Question
QUESTION: i got my half pit half sharpee from a rescue and ever since we have brought her home, she constantly throws up a lot of water and food. She drinks like there is no tomrrow from a dish on the floor. She will randomly throw up through out the day but a lot more right after eating or drinking. Could she have an acid reflux problem?

ANSWER: Hi Justin, I wonder if she is taking in too much air?????
How about you get a Raised Feeding set-up for her:
here is a link to what I mean by raised feeding:
I am showing you this link as an example:

Next, how about you make a visit to the vet office - I am sure she must need some puppy vaccinations?  Talk to the vet about your concern... Tell them you are going to use a Raised Feeding set-up.

If you want to talk food with me : I can make some suggestions on good foods to feed your puppy kid.

What are you currently feeding this kid?
Any supplements or vitamins?

More info and I can help with food choices....

Talk to you soon

QUESTION: She is eating Kibbles and Bits regular. I have three other dogs that don't have a problem with the food and no she doens't take anything like vitamins

Answer
Ok, how about you add this to her food:  Get some Wellness WET canned Dog Food from the local pet store.... Wellness Puppy food.
Add this to the food you are currently using.
Give her the regular amount and mix in 3 tablespoons of the WET canned food -  YOU should be feeding at least 2 times per day.

Try the raised feeding set up and the WET canned dog food.
SEE if this helps.

If you want some vitamin info.... Let me know and I can send you the links to some good ones.

BEST wishes
