We have an adorable 18mo poodle...

Question
We have an adorable 18mo poodle mix (from shelter).
No history available.

Our concern is:

She has 4-5 bowel movements a day, including during the night.

Fecus is firm and normal looking.

Has 1 cup of dry food per day + water + 3-4 sm Iams dry biscuits.  We have eliminated biscuits as of 3 days ago.

Has thrown up occasionally (approx. 6 times in past 7 mo) and can best be described as looking like scrambled eggs.

Our vet does not seem concerned and has offered no possibilities.

Can you help???

Many thanks-

Bob & Jean Wagner and "Reagan"

Answer
Thats NORMAL for you dog. If he is going that many times and its normal looking, than thats OK for him.

make sure he is on a high quality diet and you can keep doing treats, thats fine. Apples and carrots are great snacks!

Occasional vomiting is OK, just watch for more frequent vomiting.
