Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 2 years and 7 months old | 60 lbs

Hello, I have a 2 1/2 year old german sheperd/husky mix. For the past 3-4 weeks she has been throwing up at least 2-4 times per week. She always throws up yellow bile. She doesn't seem down, she is still energetic. Not sure if going to the clinic at petco will help. Any advice?

Vomiting 2-4 times a week for about a month as you have described is not normal. I definitely recommend you have Maya seen by a vet. Vomiting could be caused by parasites, change in diet, toxin ingestion, infectious viral diseases, blockage in the gastrointestinal tract, or other causes. Please make an appointment to have Maya seen by a veterinarian, as vomiting can be a sign of a more serious issue. The vet can recommend diagnostics and treatment that will hopefully get Maya to feel better. Good luck!
