lurcher330 2,301 Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 (edited) when i went out to feed the dogs tonight my blue whippet dog would'nt come out of the box to eat and he is usualy first so i took him out and put his food infront of him but he put his nose up to it and went back into the box so when i was finished feeding the other dogs i took him for a short walk in the park outside my house and he seemed his normal self and he had a crap that was solid so i just thought theres a first time for everything maybe he's not hungry or he is a bit out of sorts because one of my lurcher bitchs is in heat so i brought back and tryed to feed him again but he still had no interest in it but when i put him back in the pen he started to vomit so i turned on the lights to see what he had got up and it was a white foamy felm with small clothy bits of blood in it but other wise he seems ok his eyes are bright and his gums are nice and pink.can anyone tell what i should do or how long it can go on before i should get realy worried.this is him in the pic he's coming on five years old and i have him since he is six weeks old Edited April 29, 2011 by lurcher330 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
