We've stopped giving Galen very much dry food - that's what he mostly ate for his first few years, but whenever he gets into a serial vomiting phase cutting back the dry food seems to help. (He's on low-impact vet food, both wet and dry, which also helps. For the price I assume it contains unicorn meat.) We have to give him some at bedtime because without it, he will hit the wife when she comes to bed. Hard! We're all happier with him having a mouthful of dry food instead.

The relative lack of dry food has come at a price, though. We took him in for his yearly checkup yesterday. Everything is normal, including his blood work; but he has two infected teeth. The daily dental chew isn't enough to wash off all the wet food, apparently.

So we'll be making an appointment for him to get the impacted teeth ground down, and possibly removed. If he'd only floss instead of eating the string this wouldn't have happened...
