Help guys - I need advice. For the last 2 nights in a row, Darwin has thrown up twice. We go to bed, and he tucks in under the covers, then a couple hours later, he jumps off the bed and throws up on the carpet. The 1st night, it was bits of his treat that came up, so I thought - well maybe I just went overboard with the tricks and fed too many treats. So I cleaned it up, and then I don't know how much later, he threw up again while I was asleep. The next morning, he didn't touch his food, drank a bit of water, and was not interested in his potty treats. However, but mid afternoon, everything was back to normal...he ate his dinner and was playful. Then last night - same thing, we go to bed, an hour later, jumps off the bed, threw up on the floor - some of his dinner. So I put him in his crate, and this morning, found bile on his bedding, so he must have thrown up a 2nd time.

Is this enough for a vet visit? He acts really healthy otherwise, and is even nibbling at his morning kibble. What causes them to throw up like this? I did feed him peach and chicken the past 2 days - and I applied frontline plus 2 days ago...could that have caused it?

Any rememdies to settle an upset tummy? We've been to the vet variou times in the past few weeks, I hope he doesn't have to go again...he shakes uncontrollably when we go.
