Dog eats grass - gets sick almost daily - Vet said he is OK
Max has been eating grass and then throwing up. He does this a few
times a week, but only once per the day. Usually after he is woke up and let out in the afternoon. After he initially gets sick he no longer eats the grass. I took him to the vet, and they told me what I knew - dog may have upset stomach or indigestion and eats the grass to throw up. There is nothing in the puke that I can see besides grass blades and like a stomach vile - it is usually almost urine yellow in color. Afterwards he seems to be ok. He appetite is good and he has not lost weight and is not lethargic. Vet said it is nothing to worry about and has nothing to test for. He is heartworm negative and on preventative. I am not sure what else to do. Any advise is appreciated. |

@g43g2000cwa.googlegroups.com: There is nothing in the puke that I can see besides grass blades and like a stomach vile - it is usually almost urine yellow in color. Afterwards he seems to be ok. When does Max eat? Moogli will sometimes get the empty stomach urka-gurkas if he doesn't eat in the evening. What he throws up is a yellow bile. Of course, once he has finished, he goes to his bowl and eats. -- Marcel and Moogli http://mudbunny.blogspot.com/ |

Does he do this on an empty stomach? If it's always in the morning, consider giving Max a snack before bedtime. -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |
