I took him to the vet on the second day and nothing showed up on the x-ray. He gave him fluids and prescribed Reglan. He seemed to regain his appetite after a couple of days (not back to normal, but he would at least eat selective foods and move around a little bit). After a couple of days where he seemed to be on the way to recovery, he is now back to vomiting and not moving around much at all. My question is, does anyone know ...

I've noticed my black lab is calm and mellow where my yellow is sensitive. It's not just my 2 either, I've seen black and yellows who have these traits. Do you think it's the lines? Or just a coincidence with me encountering numerous dogs with the same traits relating to color of the breed and not the actual dog its self.
