QuestionI have a big neutered male 4 yr. old choc. lab, and every 5-10 nights about 3am he retches and finally vomits mostly water. I feed 2 cups of Pedigree morning(about 9am) & night(about 5). He's always hungry but maintains his weight and seems to be in excellent health. So what's the deal with the vomiting? Any suggestions, Labman?
AnswerI think Labs feel they need the body of a seal in case they ever have to retrieve a duck. So he may be occasionally supplementing his diet with something he forages. If you have never ask the vet about it, you might the next time you are in for a routine visit. Otherwise, it is trying to keep him form eating who knows what. Maybe even limit the water he drinks in the late evening.
I will mention my friend's Lab that would throw up after eating a stick.
