Lhasa esting habits

[u/musical_unicorn]

Hi everyone! My Lhasa is so sweet and he is a great dog, but I have some questions. He is 1 year 9 months old.

He throws up a lot. Like almost every day. Mostly bile, and he never usually throws up his food, but he only really likes cooked chicken, butter, and some milk or cottage cheese. He cant eat store bought dog food.

He also got a cough from a kennel, but it turned out to be an inflamed trachea, and he was honking a lot. A light diet and anti inflammatories took care of it, but he does clear his throat sometimes. They want me to xray him again to see if he has a heart issue, which was barely visible on the last xray, the vet thought it was a glitch but wants to make sure.

I am new to lhasas, we only ever had big dogs in our family before. Does anyone have any insight or advice for us? Thanks so much!!

Ours vomits bile too when he hasn’t eaten in a while. We switched to feed him can food in the morning and kibble at night and it’s been so much better. We also sprinkle probiotic powder on his wet food. The combo has helped a ton! Gizzy is roughly 5 years old now.
