One of the dogs has brought back ( sicked up, not literally brought it back to me ) her breakfast and dinner. I think it is Skye but can't be 100%.
What should i do?
I can't believe it, they have only just recovered from this sickness bug.
Do i starve them both again or not?
No sick in between meals just after. _________________ Happiness is being loved by 2 Great Danes |

possible they ate too quickly?
Try feeding them very small meals and see how it goes. If they both eat and seem fine nothing coming back up, then another very small meal a little later.
Maybe too much too quickly.
Either that or the bug hasn't completely gone
But try the little and often technique first and see how it goes. |

Will do little and often.
Skye eats really fast anyway
I always pull the food out of the freezer, into the fridge to defrost and then out on the side for a couple of hours so it is room temperature.
God I'm not poisoning them am i? _________________ Happiness is being loved by 2 Great Danes |

Certainly not Emma, possibly just not fully over their bug fully. _________________ John Thomson

Emma, feed them separately so you can tell who is doing what.
You also need to be careful you are nor over exercising them or exercising at the wrong time. They should not exercise for 3 hours after eating or 1 hour before. _________________ Regards,

Emma, you need to be careful of how long too. The breed advice is very specific about how to avoid damage to fast growing limbs. 5 minutes per month of age. YOu can check reliable advice on the Crufts web-site, or check the care pack you received from Lady's breeder. Sky has very long legs is therefore more vulnerable to damage. Great Danes do not make extreme walking companions. _________________ Regards,

Thanks Lorna will check the website.
I only give them a big walk once a day but it's good to have a source at hand to check upon. _________________ Happiness is being loved by 2 Great Danes |
