12 y/o choc lab, dry heaving, poor appetite, cyst on ear.?

We have a 12 y/o Choc Lab and the last few days he had been "dry heaving." He has not thrown up. I have not seen his stool. He takes a few bites of his Iams dog food, about 20% of his normal intake. Drinks water fine. Seems to be in good spirits. Petting him tonight I found a 3cm fluid filled cyst within the floppy part of his ear.


I am a doctor and I need a vet. I will be seeking one tomorrow. Just looking for any ideas.


I am worried that he is developing a gastric outlet/bowel obstruction.


He does get a doggy aspirin ( I will be stopping) glucosamine and a vitamin.





Thanks,





Rick MD
