Poor Captain! If she has intestinal worms, they could be upsetting her stomach. I imagine you are treating her for the worms and the worming medication can cause GI upset. I can give you a home remedy to try to see if that helps settle her stomach. Withhold food for 8-12 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, she vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away. I hope this helps!

    There could be a couple of reasons why Zoey vomited. She could have a GI illness, intestinal worms, may have a foreign body, pancreatitis, or could have eaten something rotten. I can give you a home remedy to try to see if that helps. Withhold food for 8 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, she vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away. Best of luck, I hope this helps!

My dog has been seen by a vet about two weeks ago, for whipworms he was fine for a while but he has started vomiting and having diarrhea again, he has not started his deworming treatment yet what should I do?
Poor pup! I would try a home remedy to see if that will stop the vomiting and diarrhea, and if it does, then you can give him the deworming treatment with the bland diet I will give you. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If he keeps vomiting in the absence of food, vomiting on the bland diet, or has diarrhea on the bland diet, he will need to see the vet right away.

My dog has vomited a mucous type of substance. It was white and yellow and had the consistency of slime. Her belly is very round (although it has always been round) so I am not sure how to differentiate between this being a problem or not. She eat
It sounds like she could have some gastric and intestinal upset. You could withhold food for 12 hours and then offer her a bland diet, like boiled chicken and white rice and see if that helps. If the vomiting continues and/or she becomes lethargic than she needs to be seen by a vet. She could have an infection, parasites, pancreatitis, inflammatory bowel disease, kidney/liver disease, endocrine disease, etc. Your vet can run lab work and take x-rays, if needed, to help diagnose and then prescribe medications to help treat. Hope she feels better soon.

It could be the dewormer but it could also be Wemwem is sick. Milk isn't good for dogs, it causes GI upset, and that could be causing her symptoms as well. Do not give her any more milk. Withhold for for 4-6 hours, then feed her a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, she vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away. Best of luck.

Poor Makiavli. Intestinal worms can cause vomiting. He will need a deworming treatment to kill them, you will need to get him one from the vet or the pet store.

I have a dog she's 9 she had been vomiting white coloration fluid and her appetite has been poor. She's keeping herself isolated and mostly around cool places around the house. Please let me know what can be done asap
You could withhold food for the day and then try a bland diet, like boiled chicken and white rice, if the vomiting stops. If it continues or she becomes lethargic, then she needs to be examined by a veterinarian determine the exact cause and treat her problem. She could have an infection, parasite, kidney/liver disease, endocrine disease, pancreatitis, obstruction, etc. You vet can run lab work and take an x-ray, if needed, to help diagnose and prescribe medications to help control the vomiting and prevent dehydration.

My female pitbull mix has a upset stomach and has gotten sick 2 times no food really only white thick milky stuff. What can I do to help Calumet her stomach?
She might have eaten something spoiled that is causing this. withhold food for 12 hours then offer her boiled boneless chicken and rice every 6 hours in small portions. if she is eating and not vomiting, continue with this diet for 2 days. After 2 days, you can put her back gradually on her normal food. If she continues vomiting or is not eating, take her to the vet to get treatment.

Poor San! He could have vomited due to a GI illness, eating something rotten, a sudden change in diet, being given food he's never had before, intestinal worms, a foreign body, or pancreatitis.

My dog is AsPin (Asong Pinoy) Its not high breed or what but Im worried. She vomits frequently since last night, I think for about 8 times now. The first night he vomits, it was all the food she ate that night. But today she vomit a worm and tonight
Ideally, she should be examined by your veterinarian to diagnose the specific parasite and to provide supportive care (IV or subcutaneous fluids, anti emetics, etc.). Protracted vomiting can quickly lead to dehydration in a young puppy. If she is not yet vaccinated, she may be developing a serious viral infection. In this situation, an exam is strongly recommended over home care. If this is not possible, withhold food for 12 hours. Allow small amounts of water or an unflavored electrolyte replacement beverage. Resume feeding a bland diet (1:1 ratio of plain boiled boneless/skinless chicken and plain white rice). Feed in small, frequent amounts waiting at least one hour between feedings. If the vomiting stops, transition slowly to the regular diet. If not, definitely see your veterinarian or take her to the nearest veterinary ER.
