BLOODY foam - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Has anyone's baby acted like they were going to throw up and then have it be bloody foam? My baby Mia just did this an hour ago. I called the Vets as I was out the door and after telling her everything that happened she said she thought it was from her irritated trachea.

Anyone else ever have this happen?

Is she teething?

When my Buddy was little, he vomited bloody foam and progressed to bloody, foamy BMs. He was treated for ulcers with Pepcid and is just fine now. Still has to have his 1/4 Pepcid now and then, but is healthy otherwise.

She had an episode of that reverse breathing this morning around 5am. I had to leave at 8am for a Dr's appt and returned home about 9:30am. Approximately 10am she just stood up and acted like she was going to be sick. I set her down on the floor very gently and then she spit up this foam and when I looked at it - it was foamy blood!

I was on the phone to the Vet in 2 seconds. She seemed to think it was from the episode this morning. She hasn't done it since but you can tell she doesn't feel well... she isn't on "cat patrol"!!! Bless her heart I'm just chilling out with her all day.

I just wondered it anyone else had this happen and what they were told about it.

Thank You to all that responded!

I wonder if she could have tonsillitis. Did she throw it up, or cough it up? When Maddie had tonsillitis, she coughed up foam, though it wasn't bloody. She would also do a honking sound that was much like reverse sneezing, only different. Is Mia coughing at all? Is she eating okay?

Once (a different time) Maddie threw up bright red blood...they never did figure out what caused that and put her on a med that was supposed to "bandage" the bleed and heal it...and that worked.

I hope and pray you get it figured out and Mia can recover quickly! *HUG*

OMG Connie!!! I hope Mia is doing better!! please keep me posted! I remember once one of my mom's dogs ate popcorn, and had bloody throw up and bloody stools... They gave him ranitidine and maalox, and he was fine...

Connie I have had red bile before...only to discover that Twisty was chewing on a red wheel that is attached to the baby playpen...you may want to check around and see if anything is accessable for her to chew in that color...I too was frantic until I discovered what it was...you were right to take her to the vet, it could be something as simple but better to know for sure!

Murphy threw up a few weeks ago. It had bright red spots in it, but not like a foam.) It freaked me out. Took him to the emergency vet. The vet told me that sometimes it happens. While straining to throw up they burst a vessel. They took x-rays to make sure he didn't swallow anything. Then, she gave him a shot to stop him from getting sick and she put fluid under the skin.
I never had that happen to my other Yorkie that I had for 14 years. It kept bothering me that he threw up blood. I took Murphy to his regular vet two days later. He had tonsillitis. (Never knew dogs had tonsils.) Murphy had been doing a lot of reverse sneezing.( I even told that to the emergency vet.) Murphy was on antibiotics, now he is fine. His reverse sneezing is a lot better.
Hope all is well with Mia.

cj125 · 05-03-2008, 10:32 AM

Wow! Thank You all for your input! She has been having bouts of that reverse sneezing/coughing so we've been trying not to get her too excited. She does eat just fine. It was like she was throwing up bile except that it came out red/pink foam - not like when you cut yourself and you see solid blood. Hope that makes sense again... again Thank You all so much. I'm watching her closely and if she does it again we'll be at the Vets in a New York minute.

Yorkieluv · 05-03-2008, 11:55 AM

If her trachea was sore from coughing/hacking/etc then it's likely that it became irritated and caused the pink/red vomit. I hope its nothing more than that. Praying that she's okay!!

BLEU BOY BARBER · 05-03-2008, 03:37 PM

Oh my Sweet Mia I will say a prayer for you and I hope you get it resolved soon I know all too well what you are going through... I know you must be a nervous wreck!

cj125 · 05-04-2008, 06:46 PM

I just wanted to say "Thank You" to everyone for your responses and prayers. Mia laid around all day yesterday but seems to be herself today. I'm pretty sure that it was due to the strain from that extreme coughing.

Thanks again Ladies!!!
