Bike is a pigment that is secreted into the stomach contents. This is the fluid that is vomited when the stomach is essentially empty. Some dogs will have something called bilious vomiting syndrome where they vomiting their stomach gets too empty. Feeding small meals several times a day can be helpful as can a medication called metoclopramide. However, other problems such as intestinal parasites, Addison’s, IBD, among others can also cause these signs. I would encourage you to have Luke examined by your veterinarian and discuss these concerns and what treatment plan you would like to try. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.
