Question
My 1 year old dog has been not eating his food, and throwing up at night the
past couple days. He eats treats or bologna alright but not his food, i know
his throwing up could be because he isn't eating, how do i get him to eat his
food? When he throws up it is just bile. Help!

Answer
Try this for a couple of days:

If a dog is having trouble keeping anything down or continuing diarrhea try this out of the manual I have from a large, knowledgeable dog guide school.

Bland recovery diet for dogs.

3 parts cooked rice, one part boiled hamburger or chicken, or cottage cheese. I think you can substitute boiled potatoes for the rice. Once in an emergency, we bought a plain baked potato from Wendy's.

This is meant for short time settling a dog's digestive tract. It is not the complete and balanced diet they need long term. I have seen it work.

If it doesn't help in a day or 2, get him to a vet.
