My dog is throwing up clear liquid for days. What home care helps?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua (Long Coat) | Female | spayed | 7 lbs

This is the second day my dog throws up clear up and today she has done it up to 3 times. I’m not sure why she has just taken her heart worm medication yesterday in the afternoon. Is there anything I can do at home ?

It could be the Skye has a stomach illness. I can give you a home remedy for her 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!

My dog ate a bit of another dog’s vomit at the dog park. It appears to be whole food. (She is up to date on all vaccines.) Can she catch any kind of illness from this? Thank you!

My puppy is vomiting
Poor puppy! This vomiting could be caused by a severe GI illness, eating something rotten, a foreign body, pancreatitis, or even parvo if she isn't fully vaccinated. If she has been vomiting for less than 24 hours and not vomiting multiple times per hour, you can try 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.

I’m very concerned. My yorkie just threw this up but my husband mentioned he threw up a little of this color and food this morning in the kitchen. I’m not sure what this is. It’s not blood and I’m confused on what my husband and daughter are describi
Poor Skipper! The color of his vomit looks dark, and it could be due to his dog food that has been broken down in the stomach but not yet fully digested. If he eats his poop, which many dogs do, the color could also be due to that. Given that he has no other symptoms, I'm comfortable giving you a home remedy to try 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 his normal diet.

My dog is throwing up clear? Not eating normally, and very lazy. I haven't seen any blood in his poop or throw up. But I'm concerned.
I certainly understand being worried about Blue, but it is good you don't see any blood in his poop or vomit. He could have a GI illness, may have eaten something rotten, could have a foreign body, or may have pancreatitis. I will give you a home remedy to try 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 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. I hope this helps and he feels better soon!

My dog has vomited several times today (sometimes chunky, sometimes bile) and is moving very slowly. When I tried to call her over, she would not come and I had to prod her to move, whereas usually she is very responsive. We gave her a different type
A change in diet can certainly be a cause of vomiting, and since Sunshine had a new food recently, that may the reason behind her vomiting. I can give you a home remedy to try to see if that helps.
