My mom is out of town visiting brothers and sisters, and my cousins out there own this Dachsund, and they don’t have the time to take care of him with their busy schedules. Anyways, my mom is now going to take their dog back home with her in a few days, but just recently my mom has noticed that the Dachsund is drinking water and gagging it back up and sometimes throws up stuff, but he always gags after drinking water. He does not drink a lot of water because I know when dogs are excited and drink lots of water at one time, than they throw up, but he just laps up some and gags and throws up some water some time. He doesn’t do this after eating food, and he is still active. My mom did tell me that my aunt and uncle have been feeding him chicken bones, which I know aren’t good for dogs because they can cause splinters and get lodged in. Anyways, what is going on? My mom is going to take it to a vet’s office in Illinoise before she brings it home. I know ya’ll won’t be able to give me much information because he might need x-rays taken, but I just want to know genereal ideas as to what might be the problem. He is not reverse sneezing, which is typical in smaller breeds, he just gags water all the time and spits it up sometimes. He has normal water intake and doesn’t drink it fast. Any info will be helpful. His name is Red, and he is an AKC registered long-haired Dachsund. thanks.
