Throwing up at night.
 
I'm stumped! 3 days ago Layla threw up first thing in the morning... just liquid ... other than being a bit tired that morning she was fine... completely normal.. that night (monday night/tuesday morning) she threw up in her crate.. again.. just liquid... was fine all day until around three when she threw up more liquid.. but ate and played and was full of energy... and then last night she threw up more liquid... at first i thought it was the Benedryl i had given her Sunday and Monday because it can sometimes bother her (i gave it to her on a full stomach and she seemed not bothered at all.. not even tired because of it). Right now she is playing like a puppy.. hasn't thrown up today and has eaten both some treats and her lunch... i only gave her a small amount to make sure she wasn't going to be sick. She doesn't have anything to eat around bedtime (10 pm) and usually eats her supper around 6-7... any thoughts? i am hoping to GOD she doesn't do it again tonight....

Weird:confused:

If it is just liquid though, are you sure her stomach hasn't been empty?

If it keeps happening and you can't figure out why, I'd say it is vet time (sorry I know you were just there).:(

The only other thing I can think of which I know doesn't apply in Layla's case is, has she been licking at something that she isn't supposed to? Or maybe an ingredient in her food in bothering her or her vitamins? It would probably be more than liquid if that was the case though.

Marcy~ I hope she doesn't do it again either. I hate when they do stuff like this!

I think if it were ME, I'd try giving her a little boiled rice or potatoes maybe closer to bedtime and just see if it helps. I give Madison a Tablespoon or two of his boiled rice (I boil rice with ground up turkey in it and use chicken broth when I cook it, just mainly for flavor) in the evening and it seems to help keep his stomach settled. It's bland and it keeps his stomach from getting too acidy I think.

If it keeps happening though, I'd take her in to see if maybe she's got some sort of gastritis that maybe would be better with Pepcid or something (don't just give her Pepcid though... make sure you check with your vet first).

Let us know how she's doing!

oh i'm assuming her stomach IS empty... but nothing has changed in her routine you know? she always eats at the same time and the only thing different is since Sunday we have been going to bed early because i am up very early for school. Last week i started her back on her Glucosamine that she hadn't been on for a while.. which she got at supper... but she hasnt' had that since.... last Thursday or Friday...

Layla has got to be THE pickiest eater i know... she would turn her nose up at rice or potatoe if i tried to give her that before bed :p any other ideas on what i can give her before bed? i know her tummy is empty but it has never bothered her before.

Oh bummer!!! I never think about picky eaters b/c the ONLY time mine won't inhale something edible is when they're sick:rolleyes:. I seriously believe my two LIVE to eat!

Would she eat some plain yogurt? Or if you could get some natural vanilla yogurt (make sure it has the "active live cultures" in it though.....maybe sweet potato? Would she eat that? I'm just trying to think of bland things....

Actually, I feed Madison (I feel like a broken record sometimes, b/c I yap about this so much, but everybody doens't read everything I post (hopefully)......boiled rice with ground turkey that's been cooked in chicken broth instead of water. And that's what I give him a little bit of before bed (Max gets kibble, Madison gets his rice). Maybe someone else will have some good alternatives :)

Ellie May 07-09-2008 12:59 PM
I'd give her a snack before bed (whatever you can get her to eat).
If the vomiting doesn't stop, I'd stop the glucosamine.
If it still doesn't stop I'd be on the vets doorstep.

angelmdevilm 07-09-2008 01:22 PM
Choco throws up every now and then too...
I have not been feeding him human food at all, and I always watch him so he has not been consuming random things on the floor....
he is still active and very energetic, he still eats regularly and have not changed his appetite... do you think there's a problem??

also, lately he just makes those "gag" noise and does not throw up... sorry to have to say this, but I think he swallows it afterwards instead of letting it out.... what should i do??

throwing up every now and then is ok... throwing up regularily is not.

If it's bile (yellow/green) color it's ok it's an empty stomach. Is she very small? Have you had her bile acid tested? P use to throw up alot and I had him bile acid tested and then a sonogram diagnoised a shunt.:(

i forgot to add i did stop the glucosamine last week because i was giving her salmon and didnt want to be putting it on that (wanted her to really enjoy it) i'm starting to think tho it is a mixture of the Glucosamine in her system, the Benedryl and to get her to eat her food with the Glucosamine i was putting cheese on her food (to mask the taste/smell) and she's lactose intolerant. I am aswell and i know with me.. i can eat milk and cheese daily but once every few months i feel horribly sick and have a bad headache... my poor girl.. i was just doing what i could to help her knee/allergies... it always backfires on me!

Sandysbabies 07-09-2008 01:32 PM
Poor little baby. It sounds like bile she is throwing up. I agree with some of the others about giving her something to eat before bedtime. Its good she has something in her little tummy when you give her Bendryl. I always make sure mine has something because I just don't like to give even vitamins on an empty stomach. Hope she gets better.

Layla is 6.5 lbs.. so not small! it's yellow/clear.... i am going to have a BAT test in October when she has to go for her bi-annual blood panel. and she isn't getting sick RIGHT after eating.. it's always.. like 5 am (great timing Layla :p )

Thanks! we are going to try yogurt tonight... someone on here said that shouldn't bother her (she is lactose intolerant) because of the way it's made... i don't remember the details but i'm lactose intolerant and i can eat yogurt so i hope it will go well for her! i'll also see if i can get her to eat some cheerios or soemthing bland yet filling.

oo i'll dip the cheerios in yogurt.. she wont be able to refuse :p

Poor baby girl!
Otis's belly has always gotten upset with any change in food. When he was younger he would 'noisy belly' and loose stool. I'm not suggesting you do this, but I would give him about half a slice of wheat bread and it settled his belly. If i ever gave him people food or tried to change kibble too fast, it would do a number on his little GI system. Hope tonite is better for her. Hate when our babies don't feel good.

We know all about this one.
Ellie is most likely allergic to corn and beef.
She can't have high fat foods or it will irritate her pancreas and she can't have high protein because of her liver. It is also best for her to not eat red meat at all or exotic meats.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Hello All,


Question for all of you? When you babies throw up, were they in the car shortly b/4 throwing up? I notice that my Bryan will throw up sometimes after we've been out for a car ride....we come in the house and he will go get water and sometimes throw up after....Just curious?

SophieRose 07-09-2008 06:02 PM
I remember when Sophie was just a baby, my vet said to always make sure that she didn't go to bed with an empty stomach. So I would give her a biscuit, and Charlie has a snack also.

Perhaps there is too much of a strain for her tummy with the combo of salmon, benedryl, etc.

Good luck - Deborah

That happened not too long ago with Madison...he seems to LOVE to go in the car and he usually calms down after a few minutes....If I remember right, I think it was when I brought him home from being neutered....things are a little blurred at the moment... I know I wasn't overly concerned that it was anything other than the car ride that did it and not from being post-surgical.

I just got off the phone with Bryan's Vet talking about having him Neutered....How old was Madison when you had him done and how was he afterwards? I'm sooooo scared!

Gizmo's Mom 07-12-2008 02:30 AM
Marci, Gizmo would do this occasionally awhile back. The vet said he has acid reflux (dogs?). Just a thought. Hope things get better soon. His Reglan made his tummy feel better.

Hi~ Madison was 2 yrs old when he was neutered. If he'd been my dog from the very beginning, he would have been neutered as soon as it was possible, but he was an abandoned dog. He did absolutely AMAZING thru his neutering though...the little bit that he urped up when we got home was clear and I knew that it was either from not having anything in his tummy (which had happened before) or just the combination of the anesthesia and the car ride (which was very short). He ate a little bit as soon as we got home, kept it down, and an hour later I gave him the rest of his food. He ran outside and went potty, and then was pretty quiet the rest of the evening, but next morning, he was jumping onto and off of the bed, and running around with Max in the yard.

Bryan will do just fine, I'm sure...it's hard not to be scared for them, but Madison did fantastically!!! Good luck and let us know when he has it done! We'll be here for you!

Marcy~ how's Layla doing today? Do you think giving her a little snack before bed is helping? Hope she's all better!

Oh good! I'm so glad....I hate it when they do stuff like that and you don't know if it's something serious or simple:confused:. Funny how they're so sensitive!

I saw your other thread; hope your mom gets home soon so she can have her Kong, LOL. It's hard to just ignore them;)
