Hi, I have an 18 week lab. This morning he woke my up by whining from his crate (which he’s never done before...not even on the first night). I let him out and he weed and pooed normally. He’s incredibly restless though, still whining and barking at me/jumping around which we haven’t had since he started to calm a couple of weeks ago. I also gave him his breakfast and he brought half of it back up straightaway. He’s not particularly quiet or seeming down though (aside from the slight whining). Could this be teething or a general poorly pup?
When my pup was going through his teething stage he didn't really act too differently other than just wanting to chew a lot more but that was him, and every dog is different. It could be teething but it could also be something more. You know your pup better than anyone so if you're in any doubt at all its always best to have a trip to the vet.
Ok thanks. He’s chewed a far bit and fallen asleep again now so not sure if he was up quite a bit in the night. His food has never come back up before so that’s what’s worrying me most. It wasn’t really sick, just a wad of food. Poss being over-anxious as we haven’t experienced him being ill before. Should I try giving him something plain for lunch (ie rice?) And should I call a vet if this continues today or leave it 24 hours? Any advice much appreciated.
I don't think this is teething, it sounds like he's feeling a bit unwell. If he is vomiting repeatedly or he seems very unwell, then call the vet. If it is just one or two pukes, then probably skipping a meal and/or just feeding a tiny amount and monitoring him, would be best...
