Has anyone ever had an issue with their puppy trying to throw up but only a couple of pieces (the size of a couple of green peas) came out? My 12 week old puppy did that last night at 3AM. By the time I got the light on she then spent about 8 minutes dry hacking … looked like she was either trying to throw up again or that she was having trouble breathing. She settled down again and went back to sleep. I watched her for the rest of the night. At 6:00, 6:20 and 8AM she made the same noise (but all times this was very quick, just once… the equivalent of one large breath).

Needless to say I was very worried. I have called the vet. He has not called me back yet.

I am treating her for both cocidia and giardia. Could this be a side effect from her meds or a part of her parasites? (She was diagnosed with both Cocidia and Giardia on Monday as part of a routine stool sample I brought the vet (I just got her and this was part of the health screening).) She has not had diarrhea and this was the first time she has thrown up.
