in his throat but i gave him a thick crust of bread and it
went down fine but he does not seem 100% although does not
appear to be ill.  help

Answer
Hi Janette
being in the UK and the season this could be either a cold or kennel clough start giving him ecinacea purpurea daily for 6 weeks, get it from holland and barratt.
He wil; be fine just keep up his fluids and you can also give him some gatorade once per day about 100 mls if you feel he is dehydrated. I would not give him dried foods at the moment and encourage the eating of cucumber, apple , pear and carrot batons daily.
