Why does my 10-year-old Dachshund vomit at night but act normal?

Question

I have a 10 yo daschund. A couple months ago she started vomiting in the middle of the night. Not every night but it has increased now to where she is not keeping any food down and continues to vomit on an empty stomach. The vomiting starts about 2 hours after she eats. She acts perfectly normal otherwise, bouncing around and bullying the neighborhood. Pet's info: Dog | Dachshund | Female | spayed | 10 years and 11 months old | 17 lbs

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Sophie! I always worry when older dogs start getting sick. I recommend taking Sophie to the Vet 12 hour fasted for an exam. Bring a stool and urine sample. After the exam I would take belly X-ray and run full blood and urine testing. Causes of vomiting are: intestinal parasites, foreign body (she ate something that is stuck and require surgery to remove), kidney or liver failure, cancer, pancreatitis, inflammatory bowel disease, food allergy or intolerance, dietary indiscretion. I hope this helps and I wish Sophie a speedy recovery!
