Dog vomiting yellow after GDV surgery and finishing antacids?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

My dog had a GDV operation 15 days ago. On her return home after 4 days, she was given famotifine antacid daily and antiemetic TD. I also started feeding her 6 small meals a day in view to weaning down to 3 a day instead of her previous 2. Since finishing the antacid meds and changing to 3-4 meals a day, she has been vomiting a small amount of yellow liquid once a day, a few hours after one of the meals. This has been for 3 days. Any advice? Thanks.

Oh no, poor pup! It sounds like her stomach is still sensitive from the GDV and resulting surgery, and it could be causing her vomiting. I would give your vet a call today to let them know you are seeing this vomiting once a day, as she may still need more antacids. The vet can prescribe more medication if they feel she needs it.
