Hello! I have an almost 8 year old Cocker Spaniel and she's very healthy so far (very few ear infections which is strange for this breed) but she gets finicky about eating every so often and throws up a lot. I've heard that these dogs tend to do that but I was wondering if anyone had tips for reducing the amount of times it happens....we changed her food already.
TIA !
Me(31): Childhood diagnosed as Panhypopituitarism but adulthood is disproving that and now no one knows WTF is wrong with me. ::sigh:: but I also have Hypothyroid & Factor V Leiden
DH (31): Borderline low morph
"Baby dancing" with no protection or BCP since July 2009
IF testing started March 2011
Endocrinology related tests from October 2011-February 2012
March 2012--Clomid --No response-Straight to injects!
April & May 2012-- IUI#1 & #2 = BFN
July 2012- IVF#1 cancelled
September 2012-IVF#1.2--BFN
November 2012- IVF #2 --BFN
January 2013- IVF #3-- BFFN
February 2013--Found a new RE but first back to the Endocrinologist for more diagnostic testing
Hopefully we'll be ready to cycle July 2013
PAIF/SAIF encouraged...give me some hope!!

Re: Intro...anyone have Cocker Spaniels here?
Your dog is gorgeous!
Do you think she could be eating too fast and upsetting her belly? I'd suggest smaller meals more frequently.. I know my cat sometimes gets an upset stomach when he eats too fast.
My dog was part cocker--they are beautiful dogs!
I have a food hound Cocker, so I'm probably not much help for food.
We make sure to feed a high quality food. What are you feeding?
We have a blonde cocker as well, he's almost 4 and has never had skin or ear problems (knocks furiously on all the wood)... no vomiting though. What are you feeding? We feed Blue and add TOTW occasionally.
My mom's greyhound mix has vomiting issues and she's found that adding canned to his diet has helped.
