Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question. Poor Lucy may have an upset stomach. I can give you a home remedy for her to see if that helps. 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 her normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, 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. Best of luck.

At her age, Lucy should be examined by a veterinarian to diagnose illness or injury. Vomiting and not drinking can quickly lead to dehydration which may complicate any underlying condition. If a veterinary visit is not possible right now, you can try withholding food for 12 hours. Allow small amounts of an unflavored electrolyte replacement beverage. No more than a couple tablespoons every hour. Resume feeding a bland diet in small frequent amounts. Wait at least one hour between meals. Begin by offering 1 tablespoon of food every hour and gradually increase the amount if there is no vomiting. Transition slowly to the regular diet after there has been no vomiting for 24-48 hours. Lucy will definitely need an exam if the vomiting persists or if she develops lethargy, diarrhea, loss of appetite or abdominal pain.

Poor Lucy! It could be that she threw it up given that it was a lot of liquid. Panting can be a sign of pain, and vomiting could have been painful to her. Vomiting in dogs can be due to a GI illness, eating something rotten, pancreatitis, or a foreign body. If she has only vomited this once, I would try a home remedy to see if that helps before having to take her into 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 her normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, 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.

It sounds as Lola 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.
