When to go to vet re: vomiting

Perhaps give smaller meals more often. You don't indicate how often you feed - once a day, twice a day. When Liam was having issues with his stomach after his surgery, the vet suggested small meals more often. That is also what is suggested for humans who suffer from reflux disease.
 
She gets fed twice per day. Fiona isn't an eater, in other words, I'm not worried she swallowed a sock or ate something she shouldn't. Maggie...she's another story :rolleyes2:

I have her on a little plain scrambled egg and rice with a little water mixed in. She hasn't thrown that up and she's had it two meals in a row. I'm guessing I'll keep her on this for another couple of days, do I introduce her regular food back a bit at a time? I guess if she throws up her 'regular' food then something in it isn't agreeing with her tummy.

Thanks y'all. I think she is coming around, so far so good.
 
The vet suggested scrambled egg and rice for Liam before we figured out what his problem was. I would at least keep her on that until you see the vet.
 
Hm, my thought is that a call to the vet's office couldn't hurt, and get an opinion. My Timmy is a regular vomit-er, but he is generally several hours after he has eaten, when his tummy is starting to get hungry. Perhaps smaller meals but more frequently? W/ Timmy, we found that he had a build-up of bile and as he got closer to meal-time, his tummy couldn't handle it. So we started smaller meals, mroe frequently, and a bedtime snack. It helps a lot. (My guys are all on Wellness formulas....). We have also used Pepcid on occasion, w/ good results.

What is your dog vomiting? Is it just bile, food, or is it something solid or grass, etc?? Is it the food since it is right after meal-time? I know, maybe an odd question since it's right after meal-time, but one never knows. My Timmy has vomited up stuff that should be long-gone and passed but is not at times...He's a very healthy pup, at age 10. ;) Just a puker...

I am not a vet, but this is something I have discussed w/ our vets and we have found it to work for Timmy...Hope you figure out what's going on quickly and your puppy feels better!!
