Why is my dog throwing up yellow bile and a hard white chunk?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 6 years and 3 months old | 53 lbs

My 50 pound dog (border collie/lab-short hair) has been throwing up each day (or so) with yellowish bile but also with a 'hard white chunk' about the size of a marshmallow but solid in it. Her food has not changed. She seems fine otherwise. Any advice? thank you

It sounds as Maya is suffering from a gastrointestinal condition, possibly an infection. it could also be due to ingestion of a foreign body material. i would recommend taking her to the vet the first chance you get, she will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection she will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better.
