Turkey breast and now under the weather and small sick

Post by Frederickdawg »

Perhaps it was my fault, it normally is. I have Toby a fairly large piece of cooked turkey breast yesterday afternoon minus the skin.
Then during his puppy classes he had lots of bill jac puppy treats. A few hours later I gave him half a chicken wing with skin uncooked. Wasn’t his first time eating raw chicken wings. That was around 8pm. During that night be felt a little less than his active self and also had those type of mouth movements which indicate regurgitate or a vomit is due. He vomited a bit of turkey breast and bad runny poo this morning.
Do you think perhaps he was over fed ? I remember Cleo couldn’t eat lean turkey either.

Runny poo can be a sign of overeating. The body cant digest it quick enough so gets it out of the body quick. Wouldn't have thought vomiting would be a side effect. I know Jasper has had a raw lamb neck and vomited a piece of bone the next day that he hadnt chomped but I find that unlikely with a chicken wing since they are very soft and pliable bones that are easy to digest.

It does sound as though Toby has just had too much to eat alongside the excitement / stimulation of the puppy class. If he is having a lot of treats at puppy class, I would be inclined not to feed him anything else before bedtime. However, if he continues to be sick and/or suffers runny poo I would have him checked at the vet just to be sure that it is not some kind of tummy bug and not the amount of food.

Yeah I tend to think it was too much food that day. Especially with all the treats he was getting during puppy training class. Then a chicken wing a few hours later that evening. He’s all good since. Although he hasn’t pood today. Edit. He did an hour ago. Nice sized.
