Lack of appetite after upset tummy

hi, our 5 month old mini labradoodle had an upset tummy this week; loose stools (Thursday), then vomited the day after (Friday), seemed hungry but not interested in food once it was out in front of him. He went to the vets that day and was given anti nausea injection, rehydration powder and some veterinary food for the next couple of days. I suspect it was as a result of too many treats from puppy training as he normally gets 1/2 teeny tiny ones a day at most.

He’s definitely more spritely again and running around the garden etc, and the poops seem to firm/firmer again and there’s been no vomiting since that one day. But he’s not that interested in eating when food is put in front of him. He’s normally raw fed so wasn’t terribly enamoured with the vet food, but has been eating it (with some encouragement) and it’s obviously doing it’s job.

How can we encourage his appetite back or is it common that it’ll take a few days to come back as he gets more active again etc? Any tips?

Thanks

 

It’s the raw that he’s turning his nose up at. I tried a turkey and fish one that he normally loves, but did wonder if it was a bit strong/smelly for him after a bad tummy. Luckily he’s drinking well, will even drink water with the rehydration stuff in it!

Will try him with some cooked chicken. He’s interested in food and he’s nosing around when I’m cooking.

Thanks

 

So, I just cooked up a small chicken breast and he gobbled it up. To the point he starting pushing his bowl against my foot and is now stalking me around the chicken excitedly!

When I start to try to get him back into raw assume I need to do slowly? Or should he be ok as it’s been all he’s eaten until 3 days ago. Apologies, first time raw feeder!
