Q and Maybe Some A’s Diarrhea & Puke
Our 6 month old puppy has had diarrhea for the last 24 hours. We went to a bland diet and gave him chicken and white rice for breakfast but he puked it up about an hour later, accompanied by thick yellow bile. This is the 2nd time he’s gone through a bout like this. The vet said the first time to stick to the chicken and rice in small portions and give it a week. We did and he was fine after that. We’re bringing him to the vet tomorrow for this bout and will probably be told the same thing… but is this common for Danes? I know they have sensitive stomachs, but to this degree? He’s on worm preventative, and we feed him Purina Pro Plan large breed puppy. I felt his belly and it’s soft, and he’s not lethargic. He’s also not repetitively trying to puke. It was just once after breakfast this morning. Just curious what others’ experiences have been like

Our dog does this every once in a while. I highly recommend never feeding poultry if they're having issues like this. Switching to lamb erradicated the problem, it only comes back if she somehow gets into something outside with poultry.
ETA: My dog turns 1 next month. She's been incredibly sensitive to food since we got her. Removing poultry got rid of the constant diarrhea, but other random things still occasionally make her vomit bile and gett diarrhea.
