My German shepherds Labrador mix puppy is 7 weeks old. He has thrown up three times tonight. The first time was just food. The last two happened with in minutes of each other. We upped his food dosage today. He ate his last meal at 5:30. The first upchuck was after 9:00. he also ate some grass in our backyard today. The last throwups were at midnight. They were a little chunky but a brown color paste

Poor little Maverick! In the morning, 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!

    It could be the can of wet food that made him sick. I can give you a home remedy for him to see if that helps. Feed him a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If 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.

Poor Maxiie! He could have a GI illness, may have eaten something rotten, could have a foreign body, or could have pancreatitis. I can give you a home remedy for him to see if that helps. Withhold food for 6 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 his normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, 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. Best of luck.

Hi, my 9 week old golden doodle puppy last night ate grass. He seemed sick and tired so we put him to bed afterwards. In the middle of the night I got up to check on him next to me and he threw up. He seemed more energetic and better afterwards. When
There could be many things that are causing this in Loki. Less likely a foreign body especially since he bounces back right after vomiting. It can be viral related or just a gastrointestinal upset. We always are concerned about Parvo in an unvaccinated puppy since he is only 9 weeks but this is less likely if he is energetic and has no diarrhea. He can always have intestinal parasites especially in a young puppy. I would recommend a stool check, deworming, a bland diet and an antacid as long as everything else is ok.

bobby (mum staffy, dad bull mastiff great dane cross) is 7 months old and born in rescue. he is in good health and normally eats twice a day. he first vomitted tuesday afternoon it was frothy with green in as he had eaten some weeds in the garden.
Poor Bobby sounds like he is feeling unwell! I would avoid giving him tea as well, especially if it has milk in it. Dairy causes GI upset in dogs, and it may be making his vomiting worse. The only liquid he needs, even when sick, is water. He could be suffering from a severe GI illness, may have eaten something rotten, or could have a foreign body. It's a good idea that you have kept him off food since, and if he has been off food for 24 hours, 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 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 11 month female staffordshire terrier has been vomiting liquid 4 times in the past 24 hours all liquid and grass she has not touched her food only small bits of water
Common causes of vomiting in dogs include dietary intolerance, dietary indiscretion, food allergy, intestinal parasites, GI blockage, gastroenteritis, bacterial or viral infection, IBD, pancreatitis, among others. In a young dog, my top two concerns would be parvo virus infection or intestinal blockage. I recommend that pets be seen by a veterinarian as soon as possible when there has been vomiting for at least 24 hours. Your vet will do a thorough exam, and may recommend abdominal x-rays, bloodwork, or a parvo test. Then appropriate treatment can be prescribed. If there are concerns of intestinal blockage, Nova may need exploratory surgery to look around and remove anything from her stomach or intestines that is causing the problem

Poor Meech sounds like he isn't feeling well! Dogs will eat grass when they are nauseated. He could have eaten something rotten, has a GI illness, pancreatitis, or a foreign body. I would withhold food for 12-24 hours, and then feed him 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 he continues to vomit in the absence of food, 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 17 week old puppy has been fine all day until about 1/2 an hour ago when he threw up all his food whole. The throw up had a few pine needles in it. Over the weekend he got his 1 years rabies and his first dhlppc shots. He it still shaky though. I
He might have eaten something spoiled that is causing this. withhold food for 8 hours then offer him boiled boneless chicken and rice every 4-6 hours in small portions. if he is eating and not vomiting, continue with this diet for 2 days. After 2 days, you can put him back gradually on his normal food. If he continues vomiting or is not eating, take him to the vet to get treatment.

My 4 year old Pup is healthy and happy, this morning she suddenly started vomiting white foam and doesnt want to eat but she eats grass. She's also been sleeping alot but she does get up when people are there. Im worried what should I do?
Throwing up can have many causes. It is basically a problem with the stomach and intestines caused by a food over sensitivity, eating something that does not agree with the dog, intestinal parasites, bacterial infection, viral infection, the weather, food change, stress, etc.  I would fast C.B. for 24 hours and then put her on bland food for two days, such as boiled white rice and boiled white boneless chicken meat, fed in small quantities over several feeds and then transition back to her regular food slowly over a few days. If if the vomiting increases, or if she does not start eating or she gets lethargic, she needs to see a veterinarian for an exam as there may be something more serious such as an infection going on.

My puppy got into dog food bag and ate so much he got bloated. that same night he threw it up and cleared his system, but he began to throw up yellow after that. he drinks water but can’t seem to hold his food dow now. I am not sure what to do. He st
Marley is probably suffering from gastritis and an over distention of his stomach from eating some much food all at once. The stomach lining is probably very irritated and is making him vomit up anything else he eats or drinks. I would recommend withholding food for about 12 to 24 hours. If he does not vomit during that time then you can start to re-introduce a bland diet, like plain boiled chicken and rice, and see if he can keep that down. If he is not able to stop vomiting, becomes lethargic, or has diarrhea you will need to take him to the vet to be examined. Small puppies like this can get dehydrated rapidly and he may need fluids support and medication to help stop the vomiting. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Boop by Petco. Best of luck.
