My puppy gags or sounds like throwing up after eating. Is it normal?

Question

Every time my puppy gets done from eating it always sounds like she's about to throw up and sometimes I think she does and just swallows it back down is that normal? Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Female | unspayed | 2 months and 20 days old

Dr. Melanie, BVSc MS · Accepted Answer

No, this isn't normal. It could be a symptom of megaesophagus, which is when the esophagus is enlarged and there is decreased motility of food leading to regurgitation. Penelope could be swallowing back down her food. Megaesophagus can lead to aspiration pneumonia. She could also be eating too fast, causing her to vomit back up her food. I would have Peneople seen by a vet for this on Monday. The vet can diagnose what is causing this behavior and can discuss treatment options with you.
