Milo keeps throwing up yellow liquid and it’s happened before but I thought he just ate too quickly but today he kept throwing up all around the house. This morning it had hair in it, but now it’s just yellow liquid. We ran out of food yesterday so we had been feeding him some plain chicken until we bought new food. Do you know what may be causing this?

Poor Milo. It could be a number things causing this including a severe GI illness, eating something rotten, a foreign body, pancreatitis, or an illness like kidney disease. It's concerning he's been throwing up all around the house today, so I think it's best he sees a vet now. I'd recommend taking him into one immediately.

Oh no, poor Buddy! It's not good that he's vomiting in the middle of the night. The yellow liquid is likely bile acid, and he could be vomiting due to a GI illness, a foreign body, or GI tumors among other causes. It would be best for him to see a vet for this, and I would take him into one in the morning. The vet can diagnose what is causing him to vomit so he can be treated.

There could be a couple of things causing Prince to vomit including GI illness, parasites, eating something rotten, a foreign body, and pancreatitis. Vomiting seven times in 30-40 minutes is quite a lot, and this requires an immediate vet visit. 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.

Hi, and thanks for your question. These signs could be compatible with an inflammation infection of the gastrointestinal system and surrounding organs (like pancreas and liver). A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is immediately essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics and possibly further investigations (like abdominal imaging as ultrasound or radiographs) may be needed.
