Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Male | neutered | 1 year and 6 months old | 80 lbs
My dog has thrown up 3 days in a row. Once on Wednesday, once Thursday, and one this morning. I haven’t been able to se me what it looks like because he eats it right away. He seems great in every other aspect. Drinking water, eating, poop is hard (no blood in stool), not lethargic. Only weird thing is the 3 times he’s thrown up. Suggestions on what this could be? When should I be alarmed and take him to a vet? Thank you!

Poor Finn! I would try to feed him a bland diet of plain boiled boneless, skinless chicken and white rice to see if this settles his tummy. If the vomiting is happening first thing in the morning before breakfast, it would be acid reflux. To remedy this you can try feeding him right before bedtime and right when you wake up. Acid reflux is from the acid building up in their stomach overnight when they go a long period without food. If these tricks don't help or he is showing any new symptoms, I would have your vet take a look at him. Your vet will be able to determine the cause and get him started on the proper meds to help him feel better. I hope this helps!

One possibility could be that Itsy is going too long between dinner and breakfast, and is having some acid reflux/stomach upset that causes her to vomit her morning meal, and that the time between breakfast and dinner is short enough that this doesn't happen. If that's the case, splitting her meals into three (and giving one right before bed) or giving a small treat before bed or first thing in the morning may help to settle her stomach some and let her keep her meal down. However, with any change in behavior or new symptoms that appear, a complete workup from your vet is best to rule out any more serious issues such as something wrong with the throat or esophagus, illness, etc, just to be on the safe side.
