My dog throws up water often. Is she drinking too fast or sick?

Question

Hello! Piper semi-frequently regurgitates her water and I'm unsure if it's just drinking too much too fast. She probably does it once/twice every couple of days. She has only regurgitated undigested food once, and since switching to an anti-gulp bowl she's been fine on that front. She does seem to drink rather a lot, but having not had her long I am also unsure if this is just the normal amount for her. One other thing is she has excessive flatulence, unsure if it's related.

Poor piper. This sounds like she is likely drinking too much too fast. I would try to limit the amount you put in her bowl at any given time. So I would only put a small amount, let her drink that, then wait 20-30 mins then give her some more to see if this helps. If it does, then you know you have discovered the problem. If she is still vomiting up her water then I would have your vet check her out as there could be some other things going on with her like acid reflux or megaesophagus. The flatulence can be caused from gulping her food and water or from the type of food she is on and how her body digests it. You can try changing her food but make sure you mix the old food with the new food for 10 days to prevent an upset tummy. I hope this helps!
