Buddy's throwing up a little, after he eats.  He still has regular looking BM's, and seems healthy and happy otherwise.  It's been going on for 5 - 6 days now.  Any thoughts?

Sounds like he might just have a slighty upset stomach. All of mine will go thru a spell where they seem gastro-challenged. I like to keep a couple of probiotic yogurts in my fridge. I let it get to room temp, and give them a couple of tablespoons when they start acting like they have an unbalanced gut. I do that for a couple of days, and it straightens it out.

Of course, if he starts acting lethargic, and he's vomiting ... get him to the vet. That might indicate a blocked intestine or something serious.

I gave him a tablespoon or two of yogurt everday from Wed thru Sun.  He hasn't vomitted since Friday evening, so I'm hoping he's back to normal.  It never was really sickly looking stuff, just always a little portion of the last food.

I think it was just a nervous upset, because we kept the dogs isolated in a back room last week.  Carol had knee surgery, and we didn't want them around her.  They are used to getting in her lap, and she couldn't handle that with the pain level.

Things are getting back to normal now, and we are letting them roam the house a little more.  He's a sensitive little guy.  Maybe he was just upset about the changes.
