My dog threw up yellow liquid smelling like poop. Should I worry?

Question

My dog threw yellow liquid and it also smelled really badly. It smelled like poop. Should I be concerned? Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Male

Andrea M. Brodie, DVM · Accepted Answer

Throwing up can be caused by a food sensitivity, dietary indiscretion, intestinal parasites, an intestinal blockage, bacterial infection, viral infection, the weather, food change, stress, etc.  I would fast Lucas for 24 hours and then put the dog on bland food for two days, such as boiled white rice and boiled white boneless chicken meat, fed in small quantities over several feeds and then transition back to regular food slowly over a few days. If this does not clear up the vomiting or if the vomiting increases, or if your dog gets lethargic, it needs to see a veterinarian for an exam as there may be something more serious such as an infection going on.
