Shadow has displayed some unusual behaviors over the last several days. When I went in to feed on Saturday night, he did some unusual mouth displays. They weren't aggressive like a threat display, more like a gag reflex. I checked his mouth for any obstructions and he seemed fine. On Sunday morning, after I spent time with the pups, he sniffed my clothing and did the same behavior. He seemed very subdued as well. When the 2004 litter first met Shadow and Malik, Shadow regurgitated with the stimulus of the pups. It appears that the smell of pups on my close may be stimulating the same response, but without the pups present, it may not be a full regurgitation.
