My dog keeps throwing up yellow liquid. Why is this happening?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered

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.
