Please help! Kimchee is vomitting/dry heaving

antibiotics can change your baby's stools as well as the new food. That might be why its green.

I wonder why antibiotics were given. It sounds like what ever she ate, came out (the green stuff). Does she have access to any plants in the house? Yeah, Momo used to eat our plants too, good thing they weren't poisonous.
Hope your baby girl feels better soon.

It's very possible that she ate something. She eats everything within her grasp! I don't know why the antibiotics were given. Maybe in case she has some kind of infection?

She vomited AGAIN today. My girlfriend was with her. She called me at work to tell me this so I told her to take Kimchee to the ER vet. The ER vet saw her and said it's most likely esophagitis based on her symptoms. They told us to stop using the anti-gas medicine because she thinks that is making her throw up. They gave her some new medicine (not sure what it is until I get home from work) and said to see our regular vet if her symptoms don't subside within a couple of days.

If not, then they may have to do more intensive tests.

that sounds like gastritis; tummy noises and vomiting; did they give her fluid so she won't get dehydrated. i know the vet recommended purina; however boiled chicken and rice adn even gerber baby food can settle the stomach better. hope she feels better soon. good luck

Update:

To make a long story short...

Went to another vet for a 2nd opinion and he agreed in saying Kimchee has gastritis and esophagitis. On top of all that he also said she has an upper respiratory infection.

We made an appointment with a specialist for endoscopy the next day. I was pretty depressed all day at work. But when I came home, my girlfriend told me that Kimchee has not hiccupped all day! So we monitored her all night and the next morning and it seems that she has gotten better. Just a couple of hiccup episodes but nothing like before. Her diarrhea has also gone away. She has energy now and she's barking up a storm

So we cancelled the endoscopy. It looks like the medicine has started working. Either that or Kimchee didn't want to do the endoscopy and decided to get better

great news that she's doing better; my diagnosis was pretty close my dog has gastritis too so i recognized the symptomps; what meds and food is she on. you have to watch the food because she can have gastritis episodes if her tummy gets upset. also adding probiotic will help the stomach. good luck

Yay, so happy Kimchee is feeling better & doing well on the meds. Thanks for the update.
