Dog Vomiting

[CHA]

Does this seem right? Yesterday my terrier came inside with blood all over her, i cleaned her up and ascertained that it wasn't her bleeding. We then found a blue tongue lizards tail, ewwwww, but today she has vomited this morning and just now (I've just got home from work and gave them a dog biccie). She seems ok in herself. Would the lizard be causing her to vomit?

[persephone]

if she ate it .. it could well be - perhaps no more food tonight, and see how she is tomorrow?

I'd be calling the vet - they can give you some advice over the phone, or you could take the dog in for a check over...

Any chance the lizard may have had a feed of snail bait ???

i don't bait anything, but we live in suburbia, so could have. We did have two very healthy blueys down the side of the shed which we blocked off from the dogs but seems that one of them maybe wandered out across the garden to visit someone else? Or another one has come onto the property. We seem to have one here permanently which we desperately try to keep safe from the dogs, but a terrier is a terrier. What symptoms would she be displaying if the lizard had eaten bait?

I am not really sure, but I imagine that vomiting would be one of the symptoms

Hows your dog going

I don't know if this helps at all but the eating of lizards usually gives my terriers the runs. Have never had puking but they do get ill bellies after the kill and digest.

Thanks for your assistance everyone, dog is fine, no more vomiting, though there is a tail less lizard behind the shed, still active, though not sure if it can survive for long.... This is the bit i don't like about owning dogs.

Gabor & ZsaZsa used dine on tail of lizard.

I would notice lizards wtill around without tails long after the event.

Hope it's the same for you.

ZsaZsa's speciality was geckos.

Lizards/reptiles can carry bacteria like Salmonella, which can cause diarrhoea (and I would think vomiting) if you contacted/ate enough of it. I'm not sure if dogs could get it from eating them, but humans certainly can after touching them! (Don't know if we're more susceptible than dogs at getting an infection)So wash your hands after touching any reptile, just in case :)
