Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Alaskan Malamute | Male | unneutered | 9 months and 10 days old | 85 lbs

Our 7 month old malamute won't stop vomiting today. It is clear liquid. He is drooling like crazy and appears lethargic. Vomits water. He ate his dinner. Should he be seen tonight or do we take away his water and recheck tomorrow?

Vomiting is a very vague sign and could indicates several different things going on. Some of the more common causes of vomiting include intestinal parasites, gastritis (inflammation of the stomach wall), pancreatitis, dietary indiscretion, or a foreign body/blockage. I would also worry about Parvo if Silap hasn't been fully vaccinated. Withhold any food for now but you can offer him small amounts of water as long as he is able to keep it down. I would recommend taking him to the vet. He may be dehydrated and need fluids as well as some antinausea medication to help stop the vomiting.
