That is a long time for Kittu to vomit, and I would be concerned he has something serious wrong with him such as a foreign body or pancreatitis causing his vomiting. if he's vomiting whenever he eats, he will not have had any nutrition for four or five days. He needs to see a vet immediately for this problem, please take him into one now. Best of luck!

My dog has been throwing up once a day for the past 4 days and I don’t know why? Today’s 5/20 was all liquid and no solid and I don’t know why.
It could be Chloe has a severe GI illness, may have eaten something rotten, has a foreign body, or pancreatitis. Given that she has been vomiting for four days, it's time to see a vet. Please take her into one immediately.

Throwing up a lot now days
It's quite serious that Max has been throwing up a lot for days, and he needs to see a vet immediately. He could have a foreign body, pancreatitis, may have eaten something rotten or toxic, or could have a severe GI illness causing his symptoms. He needs veterinary care right away, please take him into a vet now.

My dog has been throwing up spontaneously after eating for about a week now. I switched his food while keeping some older food for him to get use to and it is still happening I do not know what to do
This is a sign that there is something wrong with him, probably something more serious than just a food problem, it might be pancreatitis, IBD, a foreign body in the stomach or even cancer. I would strongly advise taking him to the vet ASAP in order to get it checked.

My dog has been throwing up for days. She got into the cats food and I didn't feed her for a day and gave her rice the next day. It stopped for that day and day after but now that I gave her the dog food back its started again but only in the morning
Apparently your dog does not just have a minor gastric upset. Repeated vomiting like this over days is dangerous as it depletes the body of certain electrolytes and fluids. By now your dog is likely dehydrated and will need iv fluids. She may be suffering from gastritis, a gastric or intestinal foreign body, ulcers or even a tumor. Please take her to your vet today for an exam and treatment.

I have a 19month old male desexed bull mastiff. The last 4 days he has vomitted either once or twice a day. The first 3 days were all bile vomits and today has been food aswell. He had a food change over 2 weeks ago which he seemed to tolerate well.
Vomiting multiple times over the course of three or four days is certainly a cause for concern, since at this point we can't really write it off as some sort of transient nausea episode. Some of the most common causes of vomiting that we see in younger dogs include pancreatitis, gastroenteritis, irritable bowel syndrome, foreign bodies in the GI tract, and several other infectious and inflammatory conditions. If things do not look significantly better within the next 24 hours, I would probably recommend having him checked out by your veterinarian. They may want to obtain some blood work and/or x-rays to help in diagnosing the issue. Hope this helps!

My dog has been eating my roommates cat food (we are trying to get him to stop but he’s stubborn and we offer his food at the time she’s fed as well but) he’s been throwing up for three days and i think that’s why. I can take him to the vet but i thi
Cat food can definitely be too high in protein and often too rich for dogs, causing the type of symptoms you are seeing. In some cases, it can even cause inflammation of the pancreas. This is typically verified with lab work and/or ultrasound. If she's been vomiting for three days, this is definitely significant enough to warrant veterinary attention. She may be clinically dehydrated at this point and require some fluid therapy and anti vomiting medication. In terms of preventing Bubba from eating the cat food, the only way you are going to be able to do that is by keeping it out of his reach, or by keeping him on a leash while in the presence of the food. There is the potential to train Bubba to leave certain foods alone, but this is not something that you will be able to accomplish overnight.

My dog is sick since 4 days. The symptoms are vomit, lethargy and loss of apetite. He won't eat at all. There is no fever nor abdominal pain. His poop is liquid and soft sometimes. Today he didn't poop at all. There is no blood in his vomit and his p
Poor Hunter! He could be suffering from a severe GI infection, foreign body, or eating something rotten. If he isn't fully vaccinated, he could have parvovirus. It's extremely serious that he has had these symptoms for four days, and he needs veterinary attention now. The vet can do a physical, blood tests, urinalysis, and x-rays to diagnose what is causing his symptoms so he can be treated. He likely need a shot to stop vomiting and IV fluids for hydration, as well as any other medications the vet deems necessary. Please take Hunter into a vet now.

My dog is vomiting after he eate food.why it happens?. can you prefer a solution to this?
It sounds as Tuttu 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 him to the vet the first chance you get, he will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection he will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better.

My dog has been throwing up for 3 days and he hasn't been able to keep any thing down until today I have been giving him water in small amounts all day he has kept it down but he still won't eat anything
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Vomiting and loss of appetite can be observed with conditions such as gastroenteritis, pancreatitis, dietary indiscretion, gastrointestinal foreign body ingestion and obstruction, among other possibilities. For this reason, I highly recommend that you have Lucky evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment as soon as possible as I am afraid he is likely becoming dehydrated. They would be able to check for these possibilities and also check his hydration status and give him medications to make him feel better. Good luck!

My dog hasn’t eaten in the past 3 days but he’s drank water,his nose is dry,and he’s thrown up a couple times and when I took him outside he was eating leaves any advice?
You need to take Hank into a vet right away. It's quite serious he hasn't eating for three days and is vomiting. He could have a severe GI illness, may have eaten something rotten, or could have a foreign body. He needs veterinary care immediately to diagnose what is causing these symptoms so he can be treated. Please take him into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. Best of luck, I hope this helps!
