My dog puked bile twice in 2 days and is acting weird. What's wrong?

Question

Hunter puked bile for 2 times in 2 days. His behavior was very peculiar. It seemed as if there was something wrong that he was trying to tell me, but perhaps I read into it too much. What do you think? Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Male | neutered | 4 years and 4 months old | 85 lbs

Poor Hunter! I agree, his behavior was trying to tell you that something was wrong and that he felt unwell. The vomiting could be caused by eating something he wasn't supposed to, which Labs are notorious for doing! Other causes of vomiting in puppies include a GI illness, pancreatitis, and a foreign body. Given that Hunter has only vomited twice in two days, I will give you a home remedy to try before having to take him to the vet. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, he vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away.
