My dog has diarrhea, yellow poop, and is vomiting. What's wrong?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Belgian Shepherd | Female | spayed | 1 year and 9 months old | 60 lbs

My dog has been acting normal and playing. I’ve been feeding her glandex chews and changed her to naturvet recently. Yesterday, her stool was normal and then later on it was diarrhea. So, I fed her white rice and chicken. She did not poop at all yesterday till this morning. Her stool was firm but also yellow poop too. Just right now, she threw up about 5 times and it’s all brownish, yellow. If I don’t pick up her poop right away, she eats it. Haven’t been able to take her to the vet, transport

I'm concerned about Maya and it seems like her symptoms are getting worse. This does mean she needs to see a vet now. I would see if you could have a friend or family member take you into a vet right away. Otherwise, call an Uber.

    It sounds as Maya is suffering from a gastrointestinal condition, possibly an infection. it could also be due to ingestion of a foreign body material. i would recommend taking her to the vet the first chance you get, she will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection she will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better.

    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!
