Why is my Dog Throwing up

Thank you very much for your response. My Dad tells me not to feed her peanut butter but I do because she really likes it. I agree that it can be rich so perhaps I should hold back on feeding her as much as I am (by way of her cookies). I wouldn't want her to break out in hives as well. For the most part I feel that she is more okay than not simply because her activity is normal, except for the throwing up. Thank you for your reassurance. Appreciated! Cheers.

PS: Do you have any idea why a dog throws up bile?

Touchy tummy or has eaten something that was too rich. Sometimes that doesn't show up until after it has been digested. Nervous tummy. Take your pick. I've done the same thing, personally.

Hello and Thank you. I give her cooked brown rice in the morning with her breakfast. I haven't seen her eating grass in the mornings that she has thrown up but you are correct. Dog are known to eat grass to sooth an upset tummy. I have seen my dog eat grass but not lately. I have heard of friendly active bacteria culture for dogs. Perhaps I may pick some up and try that. Thank you kindly for your response.

You're welcome! I wish I could help more! I know it is scary when they get sick like that.

Yes it is scary when my little Pooky gets puky, lol. Not funny however, she seems to be doing better as I have switched up her feeding a bit and light on the snacks before bed but definitely snack before bed is what seems to be doing the trick. She isn't so hungry in the morning and I think i why she was throwing up. Thanks a bunch for responding.

Lol, I agree, Thank you squirrels. Plus I figure that since that being distracted from the squirrels seems to help her get over her bout of nausea, it must not be anything too serious, say such as a virus or such. I can tell you for sure though that it sure has me somewhat worried. It is no fun having a Yorkie who isn't feeling up to par. Just to let you know, I have switched up her diet somewhat, feeding smaller portions more often, which she loves and no more peanut butter cookies before bed time. So far so good. Good to hear from you and thank you for your response!

Hello Pat, thank you for stopping by! I have to agree with you. I feel that the cookies probably had a lot to do with it. I recall a vet once telling me that too much of anything is not good. Moderation = okay. So easy to make our babies sick with too much love. I must curb my urges. She is so dang cute at cookie time. The recipe is brown rice flower with oat bran and such. It can be made with one egg and cheese too instead of peanut butter but, she Loves peanut butter. We have cut way back on them there cookies. It is what is best for her. I am also feeding her smaller portions of her regular food, more often. All is well, so far.

Hello Lynne, you are a wise woman. I appreciate your generous response. Yes, I have not been well really for about three weeks. I have some weird eye thing going on. First the doc said it was allergies but I said I think not so I did antibiotic drops for fives days. It's still bugging me so back to the doc. Now I see specialist in two weeks. Other than that, I haven't been so ill that I have a fever or can't get out of bed, no. As for a switch up in routine, yes but not so much hers as it is mine but trust me, I understand how that can impact her little self and have taken a look at that as well. There could be some correlation for sure. It is said if your dog seems off, take a look at your own lifestyle, what's going on or is different than the norm. Well I have been looking and there were somethings happening that was taking up a lot of our time, cutting into our quality time together, on a daily basis. That lasted for about a week. The week she threw up twice in one week. That has since changed and we are back on track that way. Since I have switched up her diet, no more of her home made peanut butter cookied before bed but definitely a snack before bed that consists of her favorite vegetables and as much kibble as she wants. So far so good! As for your dog and the sugar. Since your dog is still a pup, it is important to have them well nourished so to avoid any hypoglycemic reactions, in which case a bit of honey or maple syrup rubbed on their gums will help. Blood sugar is a big deal. My girl is three and I thought we were past that. She wasn't showing any other signs that would suggest low blood sugar however, I do feel that she was throwing up probably because too many cookies at night before bed but possibly just not enough of the right nourishment so in the morning she was hungry. Too hungry to get her through her first walk in the park and home again, where she would then throw up. All is good now. Just hope it stays that way. I feed her smaller portions more often now as well and she love that! It is something I will keep an eye on for sure. A visit to the vet is easy enough, if necessary but I do think she is going to be just fine. Thank you kindly for your response.

Nice. I am really happy for you that you finally got that Stallion switched out with a horse that is more gentle. Mamma looks beautiful and gentle soul. Thanks for sharing. I'd be checking with the lady with the child that rides once a week at the therapeutic riding as this sounds like your best bet. Have a tonne of fun! If I lived closer, I'd be there everyday ;) Just walk her, talk with her and get on her. Maybe just call someone and tell them you are going for a short ride and that you will call them in say two hours and do call. That way, if they don't hear from you, they will know to come looking, right? Good idea. That way you and your horse can stay focused on each other and have fun together. Bond. Go for a ride and enjoy! Quarter horses are usually nicely tempered. It is unlikely that there will be any issues at all. Dry eye syndrome? Does the caruncle in the corner of your eye ever swell up and get red? It still feels like something is in my eye, off and on. I am still waiting for the specialist appointment. Roxy is doing better, no more throwing up but .... Friday morning she woke with a swollen gland. Off to the doctor, again and she has a small ear infection. Good grief! She is on the mend from that now as well. Poor little thing. That was even more nerve racking. I am NOT at all even considering that the throwing up and the swollen gland are related in anyway what so ever. Normally she is a healthy, full of life pup. Just a run of bad luck. She will be fine. Has a long life to live. Great to hear from you! Cheers.

Hello Cyrus! Good to hear from you. Things are okay, I have a weird eye thing going on though. Been about three weeks. Been to doctor twice now going to specialist in two weeks if it doesn't clear itself.. Dang. Otherwise all is well. My baby is doing awesome now that she isn't throwing up any more. Not since I switched up her diet some and stopped feeding her what was obviously too many peanut butter cookies before bedtime. Scary is right. The littlest oddity in her behavior and I am on it like white on rice. I think we have solved the problem right there, with backing off on the peanut butter cookies I make for her. I am keeping a close eye on her and the vet is only a phone call away. Wouldn't ever hesitate there is she is not well, in the least. Hugs to you as well and hope that life is treating you good. Welcome back n stay in touch! Cheers.

I'm glad to know that your dog is doing better! I know you were really worried about her! I would be, too, if it were my dog. My dog has only thrown up one time since I've had her that I remember. I don't know what could have made her sick because I didn't feed her anything unusual. I know that dogs do eat grass a lot and it's possible she could have eaten something outside that didn't agree with her. I'm sorry to hear that you have been having problems with your eye. I hope it does clear up because problems with your eyes can really be aggravating. I have dry eye syndrome and that's no fun at all! I've gotten a new horse since I last talked to you! This is her in my avatar, as a matter of fact! I have some more pictures of her in my profile if you would check them out. Yes, I finally traded that stallion I had for a mare about two months ago! She's 19 years old and her name is "Mamma", lol! Would you believe I still haven't ridden her yet, though,? You see, I live here alone and I want somebody to be here to watch me the first time I ride her just to make sure everything's going to be all right. The man I got her from said she's very gentle and he also said that if I can ride the horse that if I can ride the horse that I ride at the therapeutic riding center that I should be able to ride Mamma. I've always been a little bit leery about getting on a different horse for the first time and I just want to be on the safe side. My nephew said he would come out and watch me one day when he doesn't have to fly anybody anywhere (he flies a small plane for a living and he flies people different places). It's been a while since I've heard from him and I'm getting anxious to ride her. There's a lady who brings her little girl to the therapeutic riding center for riding lessons once a week and she said she would come out and watch me one day if I just give her a call. I might call her oneof these days.
