I would be suspicious she may have a bout of pancreatitis which could be confirmed by a blood test at your vets office or possibly a bowel obstruction from bone fragments. I recommend a full physical exam as soon as possible, try feeding an ultra low fat diet such as boiled skinless chicken and rice and continue with the pedialyte in the meantime

    The bone could be causing Joey some problems. Bones can get caught in the GI tract causing an obstruction. I can give you a home remedy for her to see if that helps. Withhold food tonight, then in the morning 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 her normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, she refuses to eat the bland diet, she vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away. I hope this helps!

My 2.5 year old chiuaua / jack Russell mix has thrown up 4 times today with mucus/bloody diarrhea. Could him eating cooked steak and pork bones be causing this?
Yes, either or both may cause gastrointestinal upset or, more seriously, pancreatitis. If he is behaving normally otherwise, you can try withholding all food for 24 hours. Allow small amounts of water or unflavored PediaLyte. Resume feeding a bland diet in small, frequent amounts. Begin with 1 tablespoon every hour and gradually increase the amount if there is no vomiting. Feed bland until the stool is normal then transition slowly to his regular diet. If symptoms do not resolve or if Emmitt develops lethargy, loss of appetite or abdominal pain, have him examined right away by your veterinarian. A simple blood test can be done in the clinic to screen for pancreatitis.

My dog just had runny stool, which is abnormal for her, and she threw up 4 times in a row. Her nose is also dry. I gave her a bone last night, not thinking, and I believe that has something to do with it. What should I do? Can I wait a few days until
I’m sorry to hear about Paislee! The most likely scenario is gastroenteritis (inflammation of the stomach and intestines) which is often brought on by eating something new/different. However it can also be caused by toxin, infection, organ disease, cancer, or other. If she’s just vomited the few times, pick up the food and water and monitor. Reintroduce water 4 hours after the vomiting episode and a small meal 12 hours after vomiting episode. Try a bland diet (half plain boiled/canned chicken half plain cooked white rice) for a few days and I expect the diarrhea to improve after 1-3 days. (Then transition back to her regular diet slowly over 3-5 days.) If at ANY time she is lethargic, vomiting, not wanting to eat, or you have other concerns, you need to go to the vet clinic right away to make sure it’s nothing more serious. If Paislee’s has vomited several more times, it’s time to head to the ER clinic. The veterinarian will do a good physical exam and may recommend x-rays and/o

I give my dog esme areal bone yesterday last night she kept walking round, unsettled, and seemed to be uncomfortable when lying down and kept getting back up, she, s off her food today but is drinking water and has been the toilet this morning
Continue to monitor for lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite or abdominal pain. If there is minor stomach upset (by your description, she may be nauseous), you can withhold food for 12-24 hours. Allow small amounts of water or unflavored PediaLyte. Resume feeding a bland diet in small, frequent amounts until symptoms resolve. If symptoms persist or worsen, then an exam with your veterinarian would be recommended.

My dog had a beef bone that we bought at the store yesterday. An now this morning is throwing up pieces of the bone an wont drink water. Could it be pancreatitis?? Should I take him in? He isn't acting normal. He is lethargic an wobbly when standing
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! I'm sorry Shadow isn't feeling well. It could be pancreatitis but it could also be just general stomach upset. He ate something his body isn't used to and there were sharp bone fragments. He could also have a piece of the bone stuck somewhere. I would recommend taking him to the vet because he is young and I don't want him to dehydrate. They may need to take X-rays. They can then give him medications to calm his stomach. In the future I would not recommend giving Shadow any bones for fear of the above things. Good luck and kisses to Shadow!

my dog threw up her food (no liquid just food) and has been having intermittent shakes. she had nothing out of the normal other than a primal bone, sweet potato and her normal dog food. She had the primal bone earlier today (frozen marrow bone) maybe

If you have an emergency vet available in your area, I would strongly recommend getting him seen right away. Keep him warm, keep him hydrated by offering low sodium chicken broth, ice cubes to lick and get him seen the second you can. And make sure to submit the vet bill to whoever fed him bones and people food. It may not do any good, but it may make them more aware of the consequences of feeding pets something they shouldn't have.

My three-year-old schnorkie Jax vomited yesterday morning and this morning. Yesterday morning, the vomit was pinkish colored and had small white chunks and this morning it was green. This morning he did eat a breath-freshening mint treat (green) rath
It sounds like Jax may be suffering from either gastritis or even pancreatitis from goat and ham bones/ meat. Since this has been going on for over 24 hours I would encourage you to have him evaluated by your veterinarian as soon as possible. They may recommend an x-ray to look for an obstruction from the bones as well as blood work to see if he has pancreatitis. He will likely need anti nausea medications to help him improve. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.

Had pork bones. Was vomiting, regurgitating then weak and shaking laying on side legs stretched out. Been to vet given antiflamatory. Now sleeping 36hours. Drinks water but not eating food. had bath butt was covered in fleas. Had a soft cough earlier
This sounds quite serious for Beautifull. Pork bones can splinter and cause significant damage to the esophagus, stomach and intestines. In some cases, they can perforate the gastrointestinal tract or cause an obstruction/blockage. Unless a parasite burden is enormous, worms are highly unlikely to cause an obstruction. However, if she did have a huge flea infestation, she could have developed anemia (low red blood cell count) as a result of the fleas consuming her blood. Since this has been going on for another 36 hours, I am concerned that Beautifull may be severely dehydrated and/or anemic, which may be contributing to her severe lethargy. Beautifull needs to be seen by a vet immediately for an exam, red blood cell count (on a CBC or PCV), and abdominal x-rays to get to the source of her problem. In the future, make sure she receives a high quality flea preventative (Nexgard, Bravecto, Advantix) once per month.

Hi my girl ELLA has been throwing up since last night. I gave her a bone. She vomited most of it up. Now she is shivering slightly.
Poor girl. I would highly recommend taking Ella to your local vet if she has vomited more than 2 times and is acting as ill as you say. Even if she vomited up most of the bone it could have still caused some irritation to her GI tract. Her shivering is likely due to her being in pain/discomfort. The vet can give her injectable medication that won't be thrown back up to help her comfort and also stop the vomiting. I would not recommend any over the counter human pain medication for your pet because it will likely make things worse. I do hope that your pet EllaMae is able to make a full and speedy recovery. Best wishes and take care.

My dog has been puking up greenish clear liquid today and I’m starting to get concerned. It’s been about 18 hours since it began. She has drank and ate a little but she isn’t as interested in treats. We gave her a bone we bought from Walmart that we
It sounds as Ella 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. if the vet thinks it is more serious she will need a blood test and possibly an ultrasound in order to find out what is wrong.
