    My B's do this sometime as well. Miles will eat grass when he has an upset stomach, however Akeyla will just eat it and it's no big deal. I haven't had a major problem with it. Sorry that's all I got :)

    My Basenjis do eat acorns with no effect at all. I do find that mine seem to know what they can and can't eat. I suppose each generation has learned from the last. Puppies of course have to be watched (like human babies) because they'll chew anything. Incidentally when I was a child (a very,very long time ago) i too used to eat acorns, - again with no ill effects!

    I used to have boys that would stop eating and get thin when females in the neighborhood were in heat. Glad he is eating and hopefully he will gain back his weight soon!

    @wizard: Just a heads up for folks living near urban ponds and lakes. This time of the year, hot weather and lowering lake levels often leads to algae blooms, particularly when the lakes are bordered by fertilized lawns. Most algae are the green type but some are called blue-green and have a bluish tint to them. If your dog drinks from urban lakes or ponds, be aware that some blue-green algae are toxic to dogs. Great reminder. Seems every year around here there is at least one dog lost to algae in local lakes. Awful way to lose a dog.
