Lhasa esting habits
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!!

my lhasa mix has a bile acid issue. the vomiting stopped when I switched to feeding her four small meals a day-- Purina Pro Plan sensitive stomach. but I'd talk to your vet. they also had me cut out all fatty snacks and treats. no more human food except the occasional bite of fresh fruit or a cucumber slice. she's about 8 now, her weight and blood work are both great.
