schnauzer vomits yellowish liquid for few days
Good morning,
We have a 7 year old miniature schnauzer that we take great care of and he has been in excellent health up to a few days ago. However, for the past 5 days our dog has been vomiting yellowish, watery liquid (nothing solid) on daily basis. He hasn’t touched food in 5 days, (drinks water though). He is very lethargic and sluggish, doesn’t want to play, he is not the same dog. We took him to the vet. Our dog had the blood tests done and they all came out ok. No liver disease, no pancreatitis. Cholesterol levels were ok too. Today is the 5th day this started happening and he still vomits yellowish watery liquid, he still eats nothing or very little. This seems very strange that the blood tests would come out ok but the dog is still ill. Vet suggested doing an x-ray. We are very worried. Does anybody know what could have caused this? |

Sometimes blood tests aren't very good diagnostics. I'd probably want to
get some x-rays done. Five days is a long time and I know you must be terribly worried. I'd have a long talk with my vet about other causes and ask what the next diagnostic steps should be. X-rays and maybe an ultrasound might be in order. Definitely ask for more testing and maybe a referral to another clinic with board certified specialists. -Sharon |

I recently went thru something similar with my min poodle. He was
vomiting for 4 days. It started out not that bad and he was holding some food down. Then it got worse. The day i took him to the vet he was blotchy red all over. The vet thinks he had an allergic reaction to something the groomers had used on him a few days earlier. He gave him a shot of something to calm his stomach, then defatted chicken broth the first day and i added some rice, and then ground up chicken with it. He was really feeling better so on the third day i put some chicken broth on his dog food. He probably thought he was in heaven.. he has been on wellness fish and sweet potato, and only fruit/veggie treats. The shot did wonders for him.. not sure if it was tagamet or reglan Tracey (Jess) wrote in message ... i agree with kim. see another vet. have them check for intestinal parasites. asap.. lesswordsmeanmorejessthought... |
