 Throwing up question?
I didn't want to post this in the sick/injured forum because on all accounts, Bella is acting perfectly normal.
This all started Thursday morning, I gave Bella her normal treat of a carrot (she gets mini-baby carrots). Within an hour of eating it, she threw it back up. I thought maybe she just ate it too fast (as she normally does with EVERYTHING she eats) and it didn't sit right. She was fine the rest of the day, ate and played (and pottied) normally. Then Friday morning, she threw up her food & carrot that she had eaten an hour or so before. AGAIN, she acted fine all day and we just chalked it up to maybe her playing too rough on a full tummy & it being so hot.
She was fine the ENTIRE weekend, NO throwing up. Then Monday, in the afternoon, she starts hacking again and this time it looks to be bile and a leaf. but AGAIN she acts normally, NOTHING wrong with her (she eats and everything the rest of the day, no throwing up). Yesterday, she went ALL DAY without throwing up....then it was about 415pm and she started hacking. She threw up a small amount of bile along with some sticky, gel-y looking strip (couldn't tell if it was grass or a green bean). Called the vet and they said that it didn't seem to be anything to be alarmed about if she was acting normal (which she practically mauled me to play after she threw up yesterday, I had the teeth marks to prove she was fine!), but if it continued to bring her in.
I'm just racking my brain trying to think why she's throwing up. Why it's once a day & she isn't acting sick. She didn't throw up at all on Saturday or Sunday, which bewilders me even more. She always scarfs her food down and any treats she's given (which are usually just baby carrots & cheerios), she potties normally, she plays like she never runs out of energy... it's just this one problem of her randomly throwing up once and then being fine.
The vet's office said it could be the heat, which I know yesterday and Monday we spent most of the day in our family room which is fairly big so it has a harder time cooling properly than the rest of the house. This is a GOOD animal hospital, so I trust them....they have taken care of Bella since we brought her home at 8 weeks. She's 1 1/2 years old now.
Sorry this is so long. I just wondered if anyone else has been experiencing anything like this? Either currently, or in the past? |
