Why is my German Shepherd puppy throwing up undigested food?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Female | unspayed | 2 months and 2 days old

My little German Shepherd puppy has been eating her puppy dry food for a while. Yesterday she had started vomiting the food back up, its chunky and doesn't look like it's been digested. She doesn't have any sign of diarrhea her stool is solid, but even when we lessened the portions throughout the day she still vomits up (and it looks like more than she even eats! And we monitor her food) I have put her on pure rice diet, small portions and given her baby medicine for vomitting. Any ideas??

Spirocerca Lupi is a parasite that can be found in dogs in Egypt, it causes a mass in the esophagus which causes chronic regurgitation, which might be what Misa is suffering from. it could also be a gastrointestinal infection, possibly parvo if she is not vaccinated. you need to take her to the vet ASAP in order to get that checked and treated.
