Vomitting Dog
So, thoughts? He seems fine now, and I am going to give him an ice cube and then in a bit coax him to eat something to see if he can keep it down. If not, to he vet. Does anyone know if Camphor in the air is harmful to dogs? It's not listed on the ASPCA site, but it's the stuff you add to a vicks vaporizer.....that's the only thing I can think of that may be affecting him here..... Josh |

| Josh, did he eat any or lick the vaporizer? I dont think that the air solution would hurt him......let us know what happens...give pooh a panda kiss |
| No, he didn't get into the stuff, it was just a thought, because we've been using it a bit.
***UPDATE*** I decided to walk him after I started this thread and he did both....came back and went back to sleep. A few hours later he wanted up on the bed, so he came up, went back to sleep for a bit, then stood up on the bed...I knew what was coming so I got him safely off and he vomitted again. A bit later, I coexed him into licking an icecube, then a cookie. I guess he then decided he was hungry and finished the food in his bowl. No problems since 8:30. Do dogs get hypoglycemic? |
| Don't feed them after repeated vomiting. Give the stomach about 24 hours rest. No food. Ice cubes are fine as is water in moderation. Then start him back on rice and ground meat for a day or so and gradually reintroduce food. The day long fast isn't going to hurt.
One time vomit I'm not so concerned, but repeated means something is amiss. Keep an eye on him, especially since there was blood in the first episode. |
| The repeated vomiting would concern me.... dogs don't usually vomit bile unless they have nothing else in their stomachs. Has he been eating ok? |
| Hi Josh.
I agree with Sheepieboss. Give the tummy time to settle down before reintroducing food. Both of my sheepdogs have had stomach problems. Our first sheepie, Quincy, was five years old, and up until then had an iron stomach. So when he threw up, with a little blood, I was very concerned and got him to a vet immediately. We tried not feeding him for twelve hours, then fed him food from the vet, but he couldn't keep anything down. Long story short, he had stomach ulcers. Our current sheepie, Oscar, has had tummy problems since we brought him home at ten weeks old. Burping, flatulence, tummy gurgling, vomitting from time to time...poor thing. After changing food a number of times, numerous fecal floats, a maldigestion panel, and frequent blood work, he had an endoscopy, and has been diagnosed with Inflammatory Bowel Disease in his small intestine. Pooh's upset tummy may be nothing serious at all, but if he continues to vomit I would definitely get him to the vet for some blood work. I hope he's feeling better! |
