    8 week old Lab getting sick
    Hello,
    We have an 8 weeks old Chocolate Lab that has gotten sick twice. Both times her food has come up just like it went down... it seems it is not being digested (not sure). Daisy is eating Nutro natural choice for Large Breed Puppies. She only eats approx. 3-4 cups a day and it is the same food that the breeder used. What could this problem be? Should I take Daisy to the vet?

    I would appreciate any answers. Thanks

    The question is how quickly after she eats the food is she throwing up? If she wolf's down her food, and throws it up immediately, than chances are she's fine, she just need to learn how to eat a little slower and chew a little better. If the food stays in her system for more than 10 minutes, and then she throws it up, I would be taking her to a vet to make sure she is OK. If you are worried you can always call a local vet or animal hospital and ask a few questions over the phone. They will tell you if they think she need's medical attention.
