class=097083920-17012011>First ... even if Fred doesn't have the tendency to
over eat, it isn't a good idea to leave food down .. it sets bad precedence for
many things, including ants, rodents, and just the "I'm gonna eat till I puke"
possibility. Best is to have a twice a day feeding regimen, and you can
add canine appropriate treats to help with good behaviors,
etc.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

class=097083920-17012011>Second, Human food could easily be the cause,
especially if you notice the vomit happening more frequently when he's had human
things. Its possible they don't agree that well with him, or they are too
much of one type or another ... ie too much fat, too much protein, too much
lactose, etc ... </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial><SPAN
class=097083920-17012011>Its always possible for him to be developing a food
sensitivity or allergy, and vomiting would be the least of your worries if he
becomes even more sensitive (ie. think anaphylactic shock).</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial><SPAN
class=097083920-17012011>In any case ... your best bet is to really keep track
of what he is and isn't eating ... log if you can ... and controlling what food
is down for him would be the starter... then you can look back at what he's had
.... combinations, times, how fast he ate it, etc... and thus you can start
narrowing in on what seems to cause the reaction the most.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial><SPAN
class=097083920-17012011>It can also be something as simple as the speed at
which he eats when he does eat. My boy Riley use to throw up after every
meal when we first adopted him. He had been a stray found wondering the
streets of Martinsburg West Va. He was emaciated when BROOD got him and
they worked to increase his weight .. he was (and still is but less so) food
aggressive ... no big surprise when you've been on the streets fighting for
food... and no matter how much food he was given or what time of day he'd always
want more ... well I discovered that if I forced him to slow down, by being
there, reminding him slow down, petting him to keep his mind on "something"
being there that he'd guard his food from, he'd get slower at eating.. and
thus.. no more throwups after meals.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

class=097083920-17012011>Its now been 6 years and I don't have to stand over him
all the time, I just remind him "slow down" with a single rubbing stroke from
head to tail, and you can see him slowing down... </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
