Its VERY painful and a VERY expensive surgery to fix the problem. So to fix that I feed her smaller meals twice a day instead of a big meal once a day

Thanks for the feedback so far, guys.

I know what the yellow stuff was, but remember everytime it comes up, its damaging the lining of the throat (I don't know how to spell the proper term) & it stains carpet & smells horrible!

It was easy to get my old dog to slow down & feeding through out the day wasn't going to happen, he ate once a day & no more. All I did was let him take a few bites, gave the command OFF & sit. Then tell him to eat & so on, until he started taking breaks on his own. He would take a few mouthfulls & walk out of the kitchen to look at us & then go take a few more & repeat (it took him about an hour to eat a bowl of Kibble). He never had issues after that. He also has a sensitive gut, so we had to slow his eating regardless & to once a day.

Twice a day made him poop in the house, have horrid gas, wanting outside 100X's a day & the gurgling his belly made was just EWW. So once a day stopped all that along with Nutro's Natural Choice. Oh & feeding once a day should be eaten slowly, otherwise they get that horrid twisted gut.
