My dog have diarrhea and vomiting from yesterday. I remember him eating pomegranate the other day. Is it because of that? How do I treat him now?

Hi, pomegranate is not toxic and can be given in moderate amounts. As long as he has not eaten the rind and not taken too much I don't think that has caused the GI upset. Unlink small dogs It should not be very difficult for a golden retriever to pass the seeds out, but next time you can give him fresh pomegranate extract or juice (home made, commercial juice will have lot of sugar) instead. You can start him on a probiotic, synfosium is a good option one a day for a week.

However if he is not feeling better please get him checked and see if we need to start him on some antibiotics. You can keep him on boiled eggs or boiled chicken breast muscles (shredded), white boiled mashed potatoes and white rice(overcooked and soft) for now, this would be easy to digest. Also avoid giving and other vegetables/ fruits for now.

I know that golden retrievers are bred in India with a tolerance for heat, unlike the original which stays only in cold climates. However, can I assume that my golden retriever puppy has a higher cold tolerance? I see that he loves to sleep in the floor but sometimes I also see him sleeping like this, trying to be all tucked in. Should I get him a bed? Could he be feeling cold? The reason I haven’t bought one for him is because he chews on everything, including metal. If I gave him something with a mattress, I’m positive he might end up pulling out the cotton etc in a couple of days. I know there are some anti-chew beds on the market, but my question here is that whether I should look for something that keeps him warm or cool…
