Help please! Dog is sick

I need food suggestions for a sensitive stomach. He basically hasnt eaten in 2 days, keeps vomiting food. Im going to the store now to try and find something. Hes an Akita

He probably needs to see the vet. Our dog wouldn't eat, vomited blood, took him to the vet, he had a parasite from rabbit poo in the yard. Got some medicine and 3 days later he was back to normal.

Try plain canned pumpkin purée and boiled plain white rice. It’s always worked for my dogs with upset stomachs. ♥️

@QueenOfTheNerds too late now but i can try that for the future thanks
Broth or liquid stock used for soups.

Most important is fluids . Good broth or stock is made from meat bones and has a lot of easily absorbed nutrition. (I think you can buy it in cartons in the soup aisle?)

Edit ....cooked chicken (no bones or gristle) and boiled rice is also a good bland food to start off a tender dogs stomach .

Like this?

@JestAJester really!?
I had a great dane who got Addison's.
I know it can actually make them food centric - ie: they can put on weight and get a little food obsessive.

I was on prednisone mylsef for a while, and yeah, i put on a little weight .

So i truly dont think its the meds.

That's a worry .

Is the other med Florinef tablets , that's what mine needed everyday .
@JestAJester YEP.
just check the ingredients listing. Not all broths are made naturally .

But thats the sort of thing 👍

I’m not familiar since I don’t have pets, but I found this. Not sure if you tried it or if it’d help:

@MellyMel22 i worry about the rice expanding and making it worse. For now he'll have to settle with the chicken

@JestAJesterI think it’s meant to bind them up. I’m not sure though.
JestAJester · 31-35, M
@MellyMel22 ill have to research it. I really dont understand any of this

How the pup feeling now?

@JestAJester My dogs rearrange the furniture when they play in the house. 🤷🏻‍♀️ The other night we were playing and we head butted each other. I saw stars for a minute.
Your buddy is adorable. ♥️ I have a couple of those, too.

@QueenOfTheNerds i wanna introduce them. Worried storm will hurt Binx though

@JestAJester
Mine gets along fine with the cats. She’s a pretty laid back girl, though.

Bring your dog to the Vet !!!
JestAJester · 31-35, M
@TheDisciplinarian already did bud
Is he just vomiting?
Are there any other symptoms like bloating or diarrhoea, stomach pain ?
@JestAJester sounds a bit like gastro. I hope its not an obstruction.

If it is gastro, you might have to stick to just water - food tends to feed the bacteria (or irritates the lining of the stomach).

I hope you fix this soon .

@OogieBoogie well just gave him a small batch of chicken. Give it an hour or so and see how he does
@JestAJester crossing my fingers for him.
Hope he holds it down .
