Why Does a Golden Retriever Keep Gagging?

After a Teddy puppy recovers from parvovirus, it still vomits a little. What does that mean?
Parvo badly damages the gut and needs time to heal; mild vomiting during recovery is normal if it lessens and the dog's spirit and appetite return. Feed easily digestible food in small meals; if vomiting persists, rule out other disease.

What are the benefits of golden retrievers eating yogurt?

Puppy raised at home about 5 days, was lively, but today suddenly weak and not eating; at 6:30 a.m. vomited thick white watery fluid, very fishy, not foul. Noon no vomit. Afternoon vomited yellow thick undigested food. Gave a little probiotic. At night vomited fishy, foul-smelling white thick liquid.
Vomiting has many causes (indigestion, foreign objects, gastritis, ulcers, infections). Fast half a day if only vomiting, then feed bland food and probiotics; see a vet if it continues.

A puppy's digestion is weaker than an adult dog's because its system is immature, with less stomach acid and enzymes and a shorter gut, making it prone to indigestion and sensitive to diet changes. Feed small, frequent meals of milk-cake kibble and goat-milk formula; avoid harmful human foods.
