Vomiting up water? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I think KaCee is drinking water too fast.

Fairly frequently, she'll go get a drink of water, jump up on the couch with me and then just vomit the water back up. She then goes right back to playing like nothing has happened.

Has anyone else experienced anything similar? Is there anything I can do to make her drink slower? I'm hoping this isn't a problem, other than a nusiance?

we had a Boston Terrier once that had a problem with this.... our vet suggested that we lift his bowl so that he was not hanging his head "down" when drinking. He also drank too much at once and we always had to remind him when to stop... maybe that will help..
good luck!

I have dealt with this same thing with my older yorkie Gizmo for the last 5-6 years. I work in a vets office and we have done all kinds of tests and nothing is wrong except he just drinks too fast, coughs, and sometimes vomits up his water. I ordered a bowl from G. W. Little (here is the link Better Dog Bowl - GW Little) and is sure has helped him. I have also heard to elevate their water bowl so they don't have to lean over and I think I will try that.

I really like the concept of that drink-better bowl. I'm going to try elevating their current bowls and see if that helps her. I am relieved to hear that others are going through this too.
