[QUOTE="Monpetitchou, post: 2002281, member: 113559"] H e is a dunner ! A FB admin told me there was an issue breeders had with dunners a while ago where they were hoarding food in their beard. How do you get them to stop doing this ? The only thing that changed is we reduced his bug intake (and started giving him meds) - even if the meds made him throw up, I would think he would still swallow all his food. Do you think he’s hoarding bugs bc he’s not eating it daily anymore ? He choked one other time back in March but I think that was due to the food/bugs being too big. He hasn’t had the regurgitating issue since (minus these last two times) I don’t have the exact test results but the vet said : On his bloodwork his organ function (liver and kidneys), electrolytes and calcium are all unremarkable - which is great news for him. However, he does have some changes to his CBC that are concerning. He has elevation of some of his white blood cells that are indicative of inflammation; and evidence of immature white blood cells with what is call "toxic" change. This occurs when baby white blood cells are released before they mature, usually in response to an infection. There are also some changes to his proteins that indicate inflammation. Unfortunately these changes don't tell me where the infection is - so I have prescribed him a broad spectrum antibiotic and an ant-inflammatory and recommend that we recheck his bloodwork in about 3 weeks.
