Vomiting Pup worried mom - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Update: Winnies last vomit was at about 5PM today, 6 hours ago. The vet did tell me to not feed her till her appointment at 3 tomorrow but she got into some of her dog food and was chowing it down. I felt so bad when I took it away from her. She has not vomited that up and she is still pooping normally.

PLEASE get your pup to the vet! I had a similar thing occur with our Graysee, since this past Saturday. I took her to the vet today, and now she is spending the night in the hospital, on intravenous fluids, as a precaution against a possible case of HGE (hemorrhagic gastroenteritis), which, if left untreated, can often be fatal. Fortunately, she hadn't begun the bloody diarrhea yet, and it's possible that it is only an intestinal tract infection, but the vet was taking no chances. Graysee started vomiting up her food on Saturday, and has been doing so ever since. I took her because I was worried that she could become dehydrated, and that is also an effect of this disorder. I had never heard of HGE, but I find, after studying up, that it is fairly common in young, adult small-breed dogs, specifically Yorkies, among others. SO, now I'm going thru a bad case of Yorkie withdrawal symptoms, as she is ALWAYS by my side! I don't even know if I'll get to sleep tonight without her being here. Thankfully, if this IS HGE, it has been discovered very early, and her time in the hospital will be short; a day or two. Please take your pup to the vet!!!! I have seen many recent posts about pups getting sick and vomiting, and having bloody diarrhea. I have also read, online, about the recent spate of dog and cat illness from Blue Buffalo pet food. Apparently, the company was sold fairly recently, and many pets have been getting sick; our Graysee has been eating Blue Buffalo for the past couple years, but I am now giving her anymore. I will find a new food to give her after she recovers from this current bout of whatever it is.

She did go to the vet today. Her poop has been normal the whole time which is something the vet asked. They gave her a shot prevent vomiting as well as a shot of fluids. We gave her chicken and rice tonight for dinner as suggested by the vet and she kept that down. Tomorrow se will get that plus a little puppy food. If she keeps that down as well we are in the clear and my vet suspects just an upset tummy or she may have gotten into something that thankfully wasn't too serious. Either way we are not in the clear yet but we will wait and see tomorrow!
