I have never been through this, need your help
 

Some of you may know Coco hasn't been feeling well. She was throwing up yellow fluid for a couple of days. So far today she has eaten very small amounts of cottage cheese and broiled chicken twice, wiht 4 hours in between to ensure digestion, and so far no throwing up (crossing fingers). Does anyone know what this vomiting could have been caused from? Her nose and mouth are wet like normal, she's playful and her two poops yesterday were not diarhetic. I don't have any toxins at home and she has all of her vaccinations. Any ideas?

Coco might have had an upset tummy.
Princess did the same thing a few months ago.
I took her in, and they ran tests, but nothing came
back wrong.The Vet said she just upset her tummy,
and would be fine in a day or two. He was right, because
three days later, she was back to being herself.
Hope Coco feels better soon. :hug:
:getwellso

Poor Coco! I bet she just has an upset tummy, Hallie gets like that too when her belly hurts and she will throw up but otherwise act normal. I hope Coco is back to feeling better soon!

When Zeus was diagnosed with Pancreatitis, he was throwing up yellowish liquid. I would take her into the vet to be on the safe side. Pancreatitis is common in these little ones and can be very serious if not treated. I am sure it is nothing, but you can never be too safe. My vet told us to give Zeus 1/2 a Pepcid AC twice a day. Try this in the mean time. Hope she gets better soon! :sad:

Vomiting
 

I have had trouble with Jacks tummy from day one. He goes between vomiting and diarrhea. Not both at the same time. They took xrays and blood work and found nothing wrong. However I had to take all the bones away the ones that come apart for example the greenies and some of the other ones I would buy him occasionally such as bully sticks. I think that jack has a very sensitive stomach. i am used to having big dogs that don't so this is my first experience with small dogs. You might want to have it checked out. Good luck. Hope your baby is better soon

I had a similar experience like this... Cloey and Oreo were both throwing up yellowish stuff.. and later on i found they had coccidia.. i have no idea where in the world they got that..

i hope coco feels better.. puppy kisses for her!

I was also told that the yellow fluid is bile from an empty stomach and there is no food in it thats why. I was wondering the same thing with Jack. I posted a response up above. I hope Coco is well soon.

I'm no expert but from the 2 1/2 years of having my two, it is usually a few errors on my part. Also, just a suggestion, but I would hold up on the cottage cheese as well, since it is a dairy product. My vet says boiled children and cooked while rice when the tummy is upset and so far that always works. My two will wolf it down and I give that to them for two days, if all goes well. Anyway, when mine get a tummy upset it is usually because I give them too many choices. A high quality dogfood and a small treat is plenty, but they look me in the eye with that pitiful look and sure enough, too many treats or too much variety, like peeled apple and lamb/rice treats and Cheerios. You get the idea. The other time they have had tummy problems have been when they get into something they should not, like a lizard or houseplant. I learned the hard way to get rid of Sago palms, poison to yorkies! So, check around the house for anything these curious little furbabies can eat and make sure toys are not in need of tossing. I notice, too, my little one seems to be more sensitive to a tummy problem, Chloe seems less likely to get an upset so perhaps size enters into the issue as well. I'm sorry you baby has been sick.

Jewels throws up that yellow fluid when she gets nervous. Usually because of a car ride.

I just wanted to say I hope she feels better....Chanel, Cheri and I are sending get well wishes to little Coco...

Rawhide,bully sticks ect.....
 

Alot of things can cause the tummy to be upset rawhide,bully sticks ects and even greenies. Give her chicken and rice and maybe a half of pepcid (5mg). Did she eat one of your leather shoes or belts.This will give them a tummyache for two days.Check her poop everyday -take it apart-check and see if there is anything unusual in it. I hope that will give you some idea why she having problems with her tummy.

I hope Coco is feeling better soon!!!! :aimeeyork

I had to read that twice jwash...LOL....boiled children? I know how auto-pilot typing happens, though...hehe

Tooooooooooooo funny...thanks for the laugh because I read your post and didn't catch it. :D

I sure hope coco gets to feeling better soon. I have always heard that Yellow is bile caused by empty stomach. I would try the rice and chicken.

Get well soon COCO...
 

Two of my babies went through this last November. I know how it feels like. My babies are siblings...from the same litter...Ceasar got sick first...throwing up the bright yellow thick substance which I later found out to be bile acid...he seemed to be fine the first day...throwing up but still active. On that night though he started getting sick every hour...and then every half hour...we rushed him to the emergency...they gave him IV right away because he was so dehydrated...did blood works...amylase & lipase were so elevated...they did x-rays to rule out foreign body obstruction...they showed us the x-rays and there seemed to be a dark portion in the small intestines..but they were not 100% sure...so they did the barrium...the fluid was not passing through...they did an exploratory surgery...there was no foreign body inside but they said his small intestine was so inflamed that nothing could pass through it...they were so baffled that it happened...Our poor Ceasar had to go through that and my husband and I were so stressed going through that.. Ceasar was still trying to get strong in the animal hospital when Cleo started getting sick. The same thing that Ceasar went through...So we didn't wait...we took her in right away...they did the same thing...x-rays...but I think that because we brought her in right away...her intestines didn't get the chance to get so inflamed like Ceasar's...they gave antibiotics, someting to calm her tummy, and IV fluids. She got better right away. That was a scare for us. The vets that took care of them can't pinpoint what could have caused that. They suggested that they be put in a low fat diet and they get treats that don't have high fat contents...that we don't use anything in the house that could be considered toxic like air fresheners, cleaning solutions, toys that have paints. GOD...it was really scary. BUT...every incident is different from another...so my best advise is to take it to the vet as soon as you can...they are still the best people that could take care of them. Prayers to COCO and I hope she'll be fine. :(

when my girl had an upset tummy we gave her broiled chicken with pepno( the pink medicne) and a crushed tums, it made her feel better the next day

Possibly Hypoglycemia
 

I have literature on hypoglycemia that says that vomiting on an empty stomach (clear liquid, bile or saliva, or foaming at the mouth) are all signs of hypoglycemia. My yorkies vomit up yellow from time to time, but it always stops after I give them Nutrical or Nutristat. It may be that she's not eating regularly, say, every 3 to 4 hours minimum. I would give her Nutrical first thing in the morning, then last thing before going to bed at night, and of course, any time she vomits. I would also put a half teaspoon of corn syrup in her water so that she gets a bit of nourishment each time she drinks.

Good luck!

Coco Get Better Soon! :(

Make sure your vet rules out Canine Hemorrhagic Gastroenteritis. It is very common in Yorkies.

Thanks for all of the warm and supportive responses. Coco did well all of yesterday, no throwing up and I fed her every 3-4 hours. She did great. Even pooped twice last night within an hour of each other. She threw up at 5 am this morning but it's baffling because she's so active still, no change in her at all. I've talked to many people offline, and they said it's probably just an upset tummy and that it should pass. I will be looking for a new vet for her out in my city today. Thanks

:happyboun So glad little Coco is feeling better!

Yea it's a big relief. She was probably just clearing her tummy of something. I'm going to keep an eye on her today and see if her stomach feels better. I was told to give her a lick of pepto bismol, is that right? Has anyone else given their baby pepto before?

I have, both of mine , in fact Maddy had a upset tummy last week and within a day or two she was better.... I would call the vey over the phone for a dosage but Maddy weighs 5.8lbs (4 1/2 mths) and they said 1 ml...... good luck!

awww thanks :D I'm sure she will love all of the kisses I will be delivering to her today.

Awww...Poor Coco! I hope it's nothing serious and that her belly starts feeling better!

Good suggestion! Not owning a Yorkie as yet...you'll have to give me the "boiled children" recipe for the future....whodathunk! :D
