Why does my dog throw up without warning after eating, but seems fine?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Shih Tzu | Female | spayed | 8 lbs

Hi my dog is on day three of randomly throwing up without warning, she will be lay down and then it just pops out her mouth. No heaving or wretching, it's only been once a day, and usually an hour or two after food. The vomit is chunky. She is happy in herself and showing no signs of illness or distress. Should I be worried?

I would be concerned. Is it possible Tink is regurgitating? https://www.petcoach.co/article/the-difference-between-vomiting-regurgitation/ Regardless, vomiting or regurgitating for 3 days is unusual and I recommend to have Tink examined by her veterinarian to be safe. I hope this helps.
