Star eats grass when she has a sore tummy.

Is Harley still eating ok and acting normal?

yeh he,s fine carole
infact he seems very bouncy and puppyfied the last few days
like he has a spring in his step

he has become overly playful

that is what puzzles me
but he was sick several times today,but just grass and bile

It doesn't hurt cows so I wouldn't worry about it!

They supposedly eat grass if they have probs with their tummies and wanna throw up.....

So he's probablely had a sore tummy..

But some dogs dont throw up... Luna doesnt. So I'm thinking that she eats it and that kinda brings the tummy back to basic. Have know idea if this is true, but it works for me

we are wondering if it is because he is not used to grass
the people we got him from never ever let him on the grass
he was kept on concrete
like he won,t poo on the grass only the paths

i will keep a eye on him
if he is still being sick tomorrow will pop him to the vets

yeh j i heard about the tummy thing
but he seems fine and his toilet is okay,not runny or anything

maybe i worry too much
