My yorkie is 5 years old now, and she has always been a bit of a "vomiter." Usually, in the past, if she ate a particularly large amount or had one too many "snacks," she would throw up some of the chunks of food later in the night. She also used to occasionally have these episodes where she would throw up clear yellow fluid (usually just a small amount) after some retching. These episodes were always just one or two throw ups and usually only about 1-2 times a year.

About 2-3 weeks ago, she had a string of 5 days where she was throwing up 1-2 times a day. The throw up was always just clear yellowish fluid. The strange thing was that she would throw up in the mornings and then that night, she would like normal. The last few days, her stools got a little looser. On day 5, I finally took her to the vet because she threw up with tiny streaks of blood. During this whole time, she was still pretty active, although, she did seem a little more clingy...always laying next to me or in my lap. The vet gave her a shot of a anti-nausea medicine and gave me a Rx for an antibiotic and some anti-nausea meds. She perked up right away after the shot and came home herself.

Well, now, I notice that she is doing her 1-2 throw up thing more frequently. She's probably thrown up about 3 times a week now. She still eats like normal and her stools are normal, but she keeps having these throw up episodes. I stopped giving her any snacks and am just giving her her food now. Her food is the same food she's always eaten (Royal canine). I'm starting to feel a little scared that something might be wrong. do you think that I should go back to the vet? What do you think is wrong? Is there any particular work up that I should ask for?

Thanks for the help...
