have you changed his diet lately??? if you have .....you may need to drench him with salt water....then start him out slowly with the food.....calf-milk replacer and eggs are good

he'll probably be sick for like a week or so until his body gets use to the new food with a change like that its normal for a dog to get sick cause its not what he is use to

i highly dough he has a tumor i dont know what vet u went to go see but he must be an idiot for not asking on the change of food, but im sure within 2 week he should be ok or else just give him back his regular food but mix it with the one u have now and he should be alright

this might sound dumb but give him carnation instant breakfast

this might sound dumb but give him carnation instant breakfast i wouldn't cause it is a change and since he is already sick that could make it worst

Well thats your answer poohbear u cant change a dog diet just like that thats what causes the dog to get sick u have to gradually do it Yes, that's true. You have the new bag of food and the old bag of food. You take one cup of each for the food bowl. Do it for a couple of days. Then it's 3/4 cup of the old food and 1 cup of the new food and so forth until you get down to using only the new food.
