Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Hello. I have read other topics about Huskies not eating, but haven't seen any where the dog will throw up. My sister has a 2 year old female Husky, Zala, who is only about 35lbs. She is very thin and you can see her spine and hip bones easily. She will scarf down dinner no problem but in the morning she refuses to eat. Then about 30 minutes to an hour after she didn't eat breakfast, she will throw up a small amount of the yellow pancake mix looking puke, and then dry heave for a while after that. She drinks water regularly throughout the day.
She seems very happy during the day, full of energy and gets plenty of exercise (usually an hour long bike ride keeping her at a full run and then plenty of time playing fetch and running around a large yard throughout the day). We have tried a lot of dog food brands, both solid and soft. We have also soaked the food in chicken broth, or given her all "human" food meals like chicken and rice, but in the mornings she just won't touch it and then proceeds to throw up.
Is this a normal Husky behavior? I have always had Labs who would eat everything under the sun so this is new to me. During the first year of her life she wasn't taken care of very well. Her owners "forgot" to feed her a lot and when they did a lot of times it was leftovers from their meals. Her stool is normal and has normal frequency. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks |

| This is what prompted me to switch to grain free formula - in the morning only, he'd refuse his breakfast, eat grass madly, retch and spit up clear foamy fluid. Problem gone once I switched to 4Health turkey and potato (though, come to think of it, I wormed him shortly after I switched so...? |

| Amy is right on, we give grain free as well. Worms can play a role too, have you checked to make sure she is worm free? Funny I have a Siamese cat who was diagnosed with acid reflux because she did the same thing. Also may want to take her to the vet to rule out worms, and diabetes and anything else that has those symptoms, especially if she continues vomiting after going grain free. I did read a study not too long ago that dogs eat grass not because of upset tummies, but dogs smell grass as a protein, so maybe our dogs are just hungry when they eat grass, hmm. |

| I'm pretty sure she doesn't have worms. Her coat is healthy and stool is good and still has tons of energy, no coughing or bloating. I just bought three different grain-free foods, and go figure the Blue Buffalo (the most expensive) was the only one she would touch. She only ate a little bit but I had just given her some chicken and peas not long ago. I'll see how she does at dinner. Thanks for the advice. |

| Forgot to mention, Welcome to the forums. My girls doesn't throw up any more, I have her on Taste of the Wild, she just isn't a morning eater, she gets a couple grain free biscuits in the morning and then is hungry in the afternoon. So maybe a light snack in the morning, and then a meal in the afternoon may help. |

| My dogs don't eat a kibble breakfast either. I only give a couple of desirable treats for my dogs' "breakfast". They really only prefer one main meal and the morning treats are enough to keep their tummies from being empty and therefore eliminate the empty stomach bile vomiting. Just my experience. _________________  |
