Question:my dog Sasha is 1y.and 8month. she's very active and happy all the time. last week she started to vomit and had diahreia .the vet prescbibed medicine for it. diaheia is gone. As I keep my eyes on her, I noticed that she is always smelling the floor, loking for hair and she eats them what makes her sick.My daughter and I have long hair so makes it easier for her to find hairs on the carpet.She is also alwais so agressive when we try stop her from doing it. She is not eating at all. She never acted like this before. Any ideia what can that be?
Answers:
Some dogs have a disorder called Pica. Humans can also have it. It's where they eat things that aren't food.like hair, rocks, etc... It's the rock-eating you have to worry about. The hair might just be causing her to gag and then vomit. The only thing I'd worry about there is a bowel obstruction from a hairball or something.
Tell your vet this new information and see what he/she says.
id take her back to the vet and tell them what shes doing, maybe shes sick or has a stomach problem
Go back to your vet, this doesn't really sound like an eating disorder though they do occur in dogs. It sounds like a nutritional issue.
