Dog is Throwing up water
My dog keeps throwing up water. The vomit is clear and a little
bubbly. Been going on for a few days, she has been eatting, peeing and pooping. What is going on? What can I do? Change diet? Pepto Bismol? Thanks. David |

It's just "that" simple.. don't do anything until you have accomplished step 1 Thank you for your "simple" opinion, but I think I am going to try one of the more well thought out suggestions I received online: Suggestion 1: You have to look at how and what your dog is vomiting. If your dog vomits once or twice and then seems its normal self, it is probably not serious. You didn't say id your dog is throwing up at a specific time during the day. If your dog throws up his last last meal, then continues to throw up hen a clear, frothy liquid, it suggests a stomach irritant. Grass, spoiled food, other indigestibles, and certain infectious illnesses (such as gastroenteritis) all cause irritation of the stomach lining. Throwing up just water, especially right after drinking it can simply mean that your gulped down too much water too quickly. If this is the case, don't fill the water bowl up to the top, only put about a cup of water in the bowl, and fill the bowl often during the day. Many times, a dog will throw up first thing in the morning, which looks like a clear (or sometimes yellow) frothy vomit. This happens because the dog's stomach is empty, and it's uncomfortable. By itself, with no other symptoms of illness (not eating, diarrhea, acting lethargic) this form of vomiting is nothing to worry about. You can give your dog an extra treat, such as a milk bone just before you go to bed, so your dog's stomach isn't as empty in the morning. You could also give your dog a Pepcid AC in the evening. The typical dose for dogs is 0.25 to 0.5 mg per pound every 12 to 24 hours. If you have questions concerning the dose, talk to your vet. If your dog is on any other medication, or has kidney or liver disease, you should speak to your vet before using Pepcid AC. Suggestion 2: As long as she keeps some food and water down, then we can try the following: If she increases the vomiting, please see a VET ASAP.. We don't want her to dehydrate, ok? First: Put her on some bonless white chicken and white rice diet. Make a few days of this mixture up for her. Yes, you need to cook for her, OK??? Next: give her an acid relux pill 2 x per day - this is the kind for humans - you can get it at Wallmart: It is called : Acid Reducer: or you can just get Zantac. Make sure you give the lowest dosage you can 1-2 times per day... At least 1 hour before feedings. If you dog starts to acquire a cough, please call the vet. I am wondering if she is just making too much acid in her belly or having a " nervous " belly. |

If she's making too much acid, she may have an underlying condition. In fact, she probably does, which needs to be addressed. The only good solution is to take your dog to the vet. |

If you have so little experience with this stuff that you have to ask complete strangers or do an online search, you probably don't have the expertise to evaluate how serious the problem is, etc. Calling a vet on the phone costs you nothing - *nothing* - and you can take their advice or leave it, or call another vet and compare notes.

I'm really not sure why you're willing to take the advice of random strangers you know nothing about rather than calling a veterinarian. Both are free, but with a vet you're talking with a professional. Do you know how many crackpots post here? Do you know how many people post here who mean well but post stuff that's just plain incorrect? You're ****ing around with your dog's health.

Dog is Throwing up water
Whenever I run into a situation like this, I take my vet's advice: "Call
me." I call, give the assistant or receptionist as much detail as I can supply, and usually wait for a call back (or if it's deemed serious enough, wait for the vet to get on the phone). He can tell me if there's something I can do, or if I need to take the dog in, or what I can do until I can get the dog over to him. That's why I have a vet ... Nobody who has a dog should be without one ... "Melinda Shore" wrote in message ...
