Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Candy. Poor girl! I can give you a home remedy to see if that helps. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, she refuses to eat the bland diet, she vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away. I hope this helps!

Echo vomited some yellow liquid, his usual food is chicken and brown rice dry food, and two days ago my friends fed him some banana and orange, but he pooped right the past two days. Please let me know if there’s anything wrong with him! Thank you.

Panda has had on and off morning where she has thrown up this yellow bile. This morning she threw up on my bed this long brown object and I’m concerned what to do about it now. A vet visit would be financially tough right now. Are there any home reme
She might have eaten something spoiled that is causing this. withhold food for 12 hours then offer Panda boiled boneless chicken and rice every 6 hours in small portions. if she is eating and not vomiting, continue with this diet for 2 days. After 2 days, you can put her back gradually on her normal food. If she continues vomiting or is not eating, take Panda to the vet to get treatment.

My 2 1/2 year chihuahua ate something at the park today, shortly after she vomited yellow, then dry heaved 2x, vomited yellow again 2x at home. Was acting normal but now she isn't acting like her playful self
As most of these episodes are dietary related I would suggest to withhold food for the next 8-12 hours and then start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. I would definitively recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist or you notice diarrhoea, more vomiting, lethargy or inappetence. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

My pet has thrown up yellow bubbly vomit a couple times. What should I do?
Thank you for contacting Boop by Petco with your question about Whiskehy. Poor boy. It could be he has a stomach illness, may have eaten something rotten, could have a foreign body, or pancreatitis among other causes of vomiting. I can give you a home remedy for him to see if that helps. Withhold food until the morning, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, he refuses to eat the bland diet, he vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away. I hope this helps!

Hello! My dog has vomited twice and I was not sure if I should bring her to emergency or if it can wait until she sees her usual doctor. Her vomit was yellow and a small amount. She doesnt seem weak and ate the small amount of dog biscuits I gave her
Poor Nana! Given that she has only vomited twice, I would not rush her into an ER vet. I can give you a home remedy to try to see if that helps with the vomiting before she has to see a vet. Her vomiting could be caused by a GI illness, eating something rotten, pancreatitis, or a foreign body. It could also be caused by diabetes and kidney disease, both which would also cause increased drinking and urination. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. Even if this helps with the vomiting, I would still have her seen by a vet in a day or two. I recommend having a geriatric blood panel and urinalysis done on Nana. That will tell the vet how her organs are functioning, and if she might have diabetes or kidney disease causing her symptoms. If she does, the vet can discuss treatment options with you.

My dog weighs 65 pounds he is a 6 year old mutt. Lately he has moved from ole roy food to retriever brand food. Today was the first day he was fully weaned. He hasn't eaten any of his new food in about 3 hours. He woke up and threw up on the carpet.
It could be due to the new food. I can give you a home remedy for Chance to se if that helps. Withhold food tonight, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, he refuses to eat the bland diet, he vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away.

My dog vomiting in yellow , doesn't keep water? Often feels tired, cant stand on his own
Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. I am concerned that he is dehydrated as it sounds like he is quite weak. I would recommend having a veterinarian examine him so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I would consider having his blood tested and abdominal x-rays taken to start. The vet can also administer fluids and medications to help with the dehydration and vomiting. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further. If you cannot get to a vet right away, then I would initiate a bland diet as outlined below and see if this helps. GENERAL INFORMATION A bland diet is a diet that is soft and highly digestible. It is low in fiber, fat and protein and is high in carbohydrates. Bland diets are generally composed of a single carbohydrate source and a single lean protein source. The most common bland diet is boiled rice and boiled le
