boxer pup vomiting

Question
QUESTION: My 8 month old boxer male keeps vomiting!! Usually once a day, usually after eating.  The food isn't digested and is looks just like food that has had water added to it.  What gives?  Should I get him to a vet?  Also, his testicles haven't yet descended.  Could all of this be related?  He has TERRIBLE gas and belches.  I have tried feeding him less but he still throws up.  Any suggestions?

ANSWER: First, the testicles descend upon maturity, and will most any time now.  If not in a month or so, as your vet.

The vomiting once a day after eating (not other feeding times?) may indicate he ate too fast.  It may indicate that the food you are feeding him does not agree with him.

Boxers don't do well on foods with corn and corn glutens.  You should feed him a natural puppy chow (up to a year old) that does not have corn and corn glutens.  He could have food allergies and unable to digest well.

However, when pups have gas, excess belching air, and vomiting, I always recommend taking him to your vet and explain to your vet his symtpoms.

It could be worms or allergies, or eating too fast. It could be something lodge in his throat and causing the upheaval.

Whatever the case my be, a vet can help.

QUESTION: Have been feeding him the same food for 5 months and has just recently started the vomiting.  Can he develop an allergy later?

Answer
Yes, as it can take months for food allergies to show signs.

Signs can be a combination of things such as the mild vomiting, diarrhea, itchy and flaky skin, rashes, bald patches, excess shedding, nose dryness, eye dryness, red eyes, eye watering, sneezing, runny nose, dry paw pads, biting paws and legs, ear problems, and more.

Foods take time to develop allergies and symptoms, just as changing his food to a natural food without corn and corn glutens will take time to undo the symptoms and damages.

It can take 3-6 months to see improvements.

Benadryl can help with symptoms, but ask your vet the proper dosage if he has skin rashes, watery or dry eyes, runny nose and sneezing.

Allergies can be both foods and environmental; grasses, trees, etc., smoke, perfumes and colognes, dust in the house and dust/dirt outside.

But the vomiting is what is the major concern and your vet can diagnose this.

Please take him to your vet.
