Yorkie throwing up yellow bile

[Blackdove]

I have a question on the Christmas Morning..We have a yorkie she is 8 years old, She was a puppy mill rescue, we have has her 2 years. She has been very healthy ,except for having to have all of her teeth pulled, but the past 3 nights she has thrown up yellow bile, also a white foam, I'm not sure what is going on..I would love any help thanks Sondra

Sorry to hear that. My dog occasionally does that if he is either stressed or his tummy is empty. He tends to have the upset in the early morning and is fine after he eats. I feed him a small meal or snack before he goes to bed and that works most of the time. However, if this continues I would see the vet to find if there is a problem. He may also give you an antacid to help her.
Hope she gets better soon.

Thank you, I have done some research, I am finding most of the time its because of an empty stomach, I'm thinking that since she throws up at night that might be the problem...I'm going to try the small amounts of food...I sure hope this helps..sorry to say but she stinks...lol she has alot of thick hair ..thanks again

You are welcome, good luck and hope the extra food does the trick.

My husband wants to give her some pepto...any concerns with giving her that? On occasion our Vet ask us to give it to Abigaile...

[dottiesyrky]

My vet suggested that also, as I believe posters here have too. I do not know the dose. Unless she has some illness, food would be nicer. Have you changed her food or anything else?
The fact she has thrown up three times and not before then, perhaps a call to the vet might be a good idea. Any abnormal behavior should be looked at.

She has had no change in her diet,or the times and amounts we feed her. I'm in agreement with you...We will be taking a trip to the Vet when they open tomorrow....I'll keep you updated...thanks

Good idea to see the vet, but lets hope she will be fine by then and it won't be necessary :-)).

My Zoey will barf yellow bile if I don't feed her shortly after she wakes up. There is no sleep in with us. So, at night I feed her some veggies before bedtime. Ususally, it is green peas, green beans.
The smell is terrible on her face so I have to either wash her face very well or give her a bath to get rid of the stink.
I think if you start giving her a small meal before bedtime this vomiting will stop.

I know the feeling about early wake up call. LOL! But usually he is ok with the before bed feed. When I have been worried and taken to the vet, exam and many tests show nothing. But better be safe than sorry if the problem persists.

We've had this problem in the past and it seems to be linked to an empty stomach. I try to be pretty careful about amounts of food and times of feedings so if they throw up bubbly bile it means I have done something wrong. It seems tho' that your little one hasn't had a change in feeding, neither amounts or time so a vet call is the best. Hope it clears up soon.

Since this is happening @ night...what time do you feed her dinner? & how long after dinner does she throw up the bile? Have you changed anything in her diet since she's been throwing up?

Turbo used to throw up yellow bile & white foam even tho his stomach wasn't empty. I always gave the fruitable treat as a snack between meals & b4 bedtime. He was intolerant of the pumpkin in the fruitable. I've eliminated pumpkin in his diet & no more throw up.

Hope you'll find what's ailing your girl & you might want to call your vet to make sure.

Nevermind this question, you've already answered above.

[dottiesyrky]

I was wondering what kind of food do you feed her, kibble or soft? As she has no teeth she may have trouble digesting hard kibble and upset her tummy?
I hope she is feeling better and that you are all able to enjoy the day.

By the way Mimi, fancy your baby being intolerant of pumpkin! That can't have been an obvious food to single out. Glad you discovered it and that your baby is well now.

We feed her soft in the morning...they both eat around 6:30AM ...around 3PM they eat hard kibble. As a rule they don't get anything else to eat until morning. This has been the routine for the last 1 1/2 years, with no problems. But tonight we fed them some soft ..as it's 9 PM here...I'm thinking postive...I really hope this is the fix...I want to thank everyone for the help....If our VET is open tomorrow..Abigaile has to go for her allergy shot, so Annabel will be in tow...lol...I'm warn out from bathing..and washing the beding...I know Annabel is tired as well..I'll update tomorrow..thanks again
