Yes, thank you

To me, the Komondor looks like it has dreadlocks. Does its hair grow that way naturally, or do you have to groom it to look like that?

It grows like that naturally, but it needs a lot of grooming to keep it healthy and to make sure the knots don’t get too close to the dogs skin

It grows that way naturally- many curly haired breeds will naturally cord. I might be wrong, but I think that one of the reasons that the continental became so popular with poodles is that they would cord and it would be harder for them to swim and the cords would hold water.

Hey there, quick question regarding my older sister miniature poodle, Oliver.

Background:
He has some health issues, including Addisons, chronic yeast infections, Degenerative Disk Disease, and maybe some other things that I don't remember.
Anyway, he's kinda clumsy, but super sweet, and will eat ANYTHING that he can get his mouth around. Or not. He used to eat the drywall when he was a pup, ate anything off the floor, loves raw onion, poisonous mushrooms, grapes, and all things bad.

He is usually SUPER energetic when it comes to feeding time. He'll jump up on you, bark, bounce around, run super fast... but recently (3 weeks ago) he got out in the unfenced yard. He ate some pumpkin (which was a little moldy) and we suspect he ate mushrooms. We gave him some of his regular dog food and then hydrogen peroxide, but all he vomited was white, thick, marshmallow-fluff-consistency foam. We took him to the vet (who thankfully could see him)

They induced vomiting and gave him back to us, asking for us to come back a week later for a blood draw. He seemed ok, (we gave him medicine that they gave us) but a couple days later he started vomiting again, so we took him back. (they think the medicine, though it usually works, sometimes doesn't agree with all dogs, and Oliver might be one of them) They did an X-ray, physical (all of which looked normal) but his blood levels were off. They were initially concerned that cancer might be mixed in there, but after a while they redrew blood, it still wasn't great, but didn't seem like cancer any more. They gave him some strong anti-nausea medicine, and sent him back home with us. Since then, we've been giving him a different medicine, and keeping a close eye on him.

Oddly, he hasn't been interested in eating his dry food. He ate the dental chew I gave him when he was interested, but he just ate that and not his regular food. We've also been giving him wet food, which he'll eat.

Basically, my question is:

Any ways to get him eating his dry food?

Could you give him some cooked meat? Either mixed in his food or on its own. (cooked because that might be better for his delicate stomach if he isn’t used to eating raw meat ) you could also try wetting his dry food if it isn’t all ready
