Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Especially in bulldogs, it is not uncommon for them to exhibit regurgitation of their water or food. This is due to their conformation, as brachycephalic dogs. I recommend contacting your regular veterinarian to let them know that Thor is having these clinical signs. There are medications that can be used to help treat regurgitation, such as metoclopramide, which functions to keep the GI tract moving food and water in the right direction. I hope this is helpful!
