Hi all
We recently (1.5 months ago) moved to a new home where a strange incident has happened. My dog Casper (Labrador aged 12 years and 4 months) has thrown up several times in the night on 2 different nights within a period of 2 weeks. He was his usual self and never threw up in my old home and never had any digestion related issues as we never feed him any human food. He is on senior diet since past 4 years and has only been given carrots or apples as treats.
On the night of 21st July he threw up around 4 or 5 times. We found some grass (he regularly likes eating grass so nothing to suggest stomach trouble) and his regular food in his vomit. Luckily he was okay during the day and hence, I didn't take him to the vet. After that he showed no signs of tiredness or restlessness so all was okay. On the evening of 2nd Aug he again threw up at 9pm and carried on with it 4 or 5 times until 2 or 3 am. We found his regular food and pieces of a dental chew that he had eaten on Sunday evening but nothing unusual. He was again his normal self in the morning. That morning we saw a bottle of animal repellent on a table in my neighbor's garden right next to the fence that separates our gardens. I'm not sure if any animal repellents can cause such vomiting in dogs who inhale that smell. Since we have recently moved, I'm not comfortable in confronting someone unless I'm very sure that the animal repellent is the cause of the vomiting so can please someone advise me here. I've done my bit of 'Google search' but didn't come across anyone reporting such a direct cause effect relationship so I thought it's best to ask on this forum. Can someone please help as this is very odd and it has never happened before with my Casper and I'm very worried that it might happen again. Plus his old age is making me even more paranoid.
Thanks in advance,
worried mum
