Hi Everyone,
We are new to joining the forum but we love our Vizsla, he is our first and he is 7 months old. I have talked to other Vizsla owners and gotten their opinion but I wanted some advice from all of you...
Chance loves to eat sticks, we take him to the off leash dog park or outside to go to the bathroom and its like a mad hunt for sticks, and not to retrieve and bring them back to us but to actually eat them. Its almost as if he thinks they are food. We have talked to the vet and he thinks its probably just a puppy thing chewing everything he can get his hands on but he doesn't chew on things we have in the house? After a day when he eats a lot of sticks that we can't get away from him he throws up during the middle of the night and its always just a bunch of chewed sticks.
We are working on the give command, where he gives the stick to us or just leaves it all together but in the mean time we are very concerned about him throwing this up or him puncturing his insides. He usually only throws up sticks on average a week but it is very hard to get the stick away from him minus prying open his mouth to take the stick out. I wondered if any of you have experienced this with your V's?
Any help you can give us would be great and much appreciated!
Thanks!
