Reddii Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I'm trying not to be paranoid about this, but it's happened 2 morning in a row so I thought I'd ask if anyone had any ideas or if you think I should just give him another couple of days. CK has thrown up for the last 2 monnings just before wake up time. It's not normal coloured, but it is yellow like a urine colour and a bit more viscous than normal bile type spew, although this morning it had like VERY finely grated kibble bits in it. (Dry food for dinner last night). (Sorry for the graphic description.) His diet hasn't changed, and neither has anything else in his life. He isn't off his food and is as crazy as usual, he's also drinking normally. This mornning we ran/walked for 20 minutes, played frisbee for 20 minutes and then ran for another 25 minutes to get home. When we got there he went an picked up a toy and wanted to play. He then settled and ate his usual breakfast in the usual no time flat. At this stage I'm thinking just a bit of a tummy bug or he's found something new in the back yard during the day, but it seems strange that he only throws up just before we get up (I heard him). If he does it again tomorrow I'll get him off to the vet, but in the mean time does any one have any thoughts as to what it might be? I know there is a bit of KC around at the moment, but don't think this could be part of the problem as there are no accompanying symptoms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopenfox Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 (edited) Have you changed the time/s you feed him recently? Sometimes bile vomit happens when a dog's stomach is empty and the digestive system is preparing for food, then when it doesn't arrive on time all the unneeded bile/swallowed saliva is brought up. Just a thought... Maybe change the time you feed his last meal the night before to a little closer to his bed time?

poodlefan Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Dogs who do this seem to benefit from two meals a day or a small snack to supplement the main mail. You could try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellz Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 When was he last wormed? I've seen this kind of vomiting occurring in dogs with a worm burden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought...Maybe change the time you feed his last meal the night before to a little closer to his bed time? I hadn't thought about it in detail, just that I feed morning and night. I've probably been feeding about an hour or 1.5 hours earlier in the evening for the last few days so perhaps that could be the problem. I've just started feeding them from puzzle toys rather than their bowl and it can get a bit noisy on the deck so i've pulled it forward. I'll move the time back and feed him somewhere else.

peibe Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Could it just be the difference in daylight saving changes? One of mine will not eat his dinner until after 7pm, he does this every year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 (edited) Shiloh had the spewies for a couple of days, and just at night time, but I just fed her half as much as what I was at meal times and she came back to normal straight away. Back onto normal sized meals and no more yellow vommies for me to clean up Edited April 8, 2008 by BC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reddii Posted April 8, 2008 Author Share Posted April 8, 2008 Thanks all for your replies. All back to normal this morning - not sure what it was, just glad it's gone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
