Throwing up bile ( yellow  frothy liquid in the mouth )  is normal if the dog missed a meal... say hyperacidity in humans... He may eat grass or leaves  ( If i see him... I have fun giving him peppermint leaves... then he licks you face nad he loves it...) He gets too much... he normally throws up... eating grass is a dogs way to unload his stomach..( thats what i've read in books...)

I had to pump him up because I noticed the growth curve slows down at 7 when he's about to heach his wither height.. He just crossed path with a female chubby Chow-Chow... and I know my bitch is about to come to heat... you cant use a dog this age (10 months) although I'll just let him be.. his mom is very docile and if she will stand... I'll just probably rush her to my friends new Sable dog..

My puppy seemed to be monitoring the surroundings lately... being him  male... I'm looking forward to seeing him raise his leg "cocking"  when marking territory...

Don!!!! you took what i was gonna say!!! lol

 It definitly sound like constipation to me...my dad has always raised hunting dogs and when dogs are camping with the guys... well back then dogs ate whatever were thrown at them- snapin turtle -fish heads- alligator- hog guts..u name it....well anyways, my dad always told me that a dog will not put in what it can't take out--extreme constipation can kill a dog because they will starve themself (i've seen this happen myself before)--  I don't know if anyone else has tried this, but all the old hunters used castor oil--- poured some (not sure how much)-down the dogs throat---makes the dog go poo...

Get his tonsils checked! He might have a sore throat. I just had it with my dog, he got some antibiotics and was eating normal the same day.

found this after I posted that last post---What is castor oil used for?

I dont think its constipation because he's going out regularly...I maybe wrong though... maybe frequent now compared to his intake and the loose stool (not well formed) is something i've noticed... When he ate one serving yesterday he almost choke with his first chomps... (akira maybe right about tonsilitis...i will check)

He is still well on his toes chasing the cats... I am thinking of changing dogfood brands (since the bag is almost empty) and probably give RAW Chicken Necks tonight...

I think he already reached his wither height at 65.5 cms and weight is not a problem...he exercise on ground...

I think his hormones are just acting up...

Or another thing... maybe he caught a virus... or worm... or parasite eating grass..??? I will give Ivermectin before changing dogfood...

Keep me posted ...UVW..
