Has she been eating properly? Has she been outside a lot in the heat?

How old is she and how much does she weigh? any other symptoms (shaking, pale gums, lethargy...)?

May want to take her to the vet. If it's white, it could be tonsilitis.

No she hasnt been eating properly. She hasnt been outside too much in the heat. its just hot in my house.

Time to take her to visit her vet. He or she'll should be able to determine what is wrong with your lil'darling.

i'd take her to the vet. She could just be throwing up the white foam because her stomach is empty and upset, and since there is no food in there that's what comes out. Also the heat doesn't help. she is probably really not feeling well from the heat and not eating so a trip to the vet might be in order unless you get her to eat and she perks up to her normal self.

Mine vomited this morning too because she didn't eat anything yesterday. I too think it was because she was too hot to eat even tho i try to keep her comfortable (no central air in my house). i made sure she ate her breakfast and she was fine the rest o the day.

I would also take her to the vet. 2 days is too long.

Sweet Bella · 08-15-2009, 06:21 PM

Well she went to the vet on thurs but told the vet she was throwing up bile. too my knowledge from researching this white stuff im talking about is not bile. Vet prescribed her liquid pepcid for 5 days. I give it to her 30 mins before feeding. She acts as if she hungry because she goes to the bowl but then she wont eat. Today she was very playful and she did eat twice today but then around 7 she started with the throwing up again. No food just this white mucus stuff...

Sounds like the vet was going on her having acid reflux since she prescribed the pepcid before feedings.

how long after she ate did she throw up the mucus?

Mardelin · 08-15-2009, 06:33 PM

Do you have her on a bland diet of steamed chicken and rice?

Every time I've dealt with white mucus like bile, it has been diagnosed as tonsilitis....

Sweet Bella · 08-15-2009, 06:53 PM

i feel so bad for her and she is constantly licking her lips and it appears to me she is maybe drooling because when she is lying down there is always a wet spot when she get up so im assuming drool maybe not sure.
this is my first dog so i am inexperienced as you can tell. Vet said she wasnt dehydrated and her stool is normal.

so i guess the pepcid isn't working if she's still drooling and acting like she's nauseous. have you tried the bland diet of boiled chicken and rice?

Sweet Bella · 08-15-2009, 07:12 PM

i havent tried that yet. wasnt sure if i needed too since she wasnt throwing up her food. i will try that tomorrow morning. I am gonna also take her back to the vet tomorrow.
