Pet's info: Dog | Golden Labrador | Male | unneutered | 6 months and 16 days old | 44 lbs
Hello, my 7 month old Golden Lab started throwing up phlegmy bile last Saturday (only in the morning). We went to the vet in Wednesday and they gave him an anti inflammatory injection and some Zantac Syrup to give him twice a day for three days and advice we feed him bland food in that time. Since then he had not been sick, but his morning he threw up the bile again (and more so than last time) and has just threw up all of the rice we fed him. I'm just looking for some Advie please.

Poor guy. I would suggest having your vet do baseline bloodwork first to rule out underlying conditions that can cause repeated episodes of vomiting such as pancreatitis, kidney or liver disease first. Then once those are ruled out I would inquire with your vet about giving him Pepto Bismol for a short trial period to see if this helps with his assumed upset stomach issue. Pepto Bismol is not meant for every pet so please discuss this with your vet first. I hope this helps and best wishes getting Rocco’s vomiting episodes under control. Best wishes and take care.
