Senior Yorkie Talker | Morning vomiting Hi I haven't been on here for a while, but good to be back. My little girl Hollee who is 2 1/2 yrs vomits some early mornings but not every morning. It's white froth or bile stained froth. Sometimes she is quite afterwards occasionally won't eat. We give her anti-nausea medicine and she bounces back. Most times she doesn't need any medicine and is perfectly well energetic and playful with a good Apitite. I mentioned it to our vet when Hollee had her vacs. She said it can just be due to an empty stomach after the night and Yorkies are quite prone to being sensitive. Would love to hear from anyone with the same problem?

| Hi and welcome back! I don't have that issue with Remy, but I'm sure there will be others coming along that can help you. Best of luck!

| If their stomach is empty, they will throw up yellow bile & then once that is expelled from their stomach, they will throw up white foam. Giving her something to eat before bedtime will prevent this.

Also, you could give a little Nutrical in the morning to get some immediate carb into her system, which can ease nauseousness.

| I tried feeding before bed but it did not always work. Zoey would barf and then refuse to eat for hours making it worse. Now I have been giving her 1/4 of an acid reducer pill at night with a small meal and she has not thrown up since and it has been about a month. Also, we can stay in bed longer which I really appreciate. Her vet put her on acid reducer after her last eposide of pancreatitis a month ago. Ask your vet if this would be ok for your little one.

| I have lived this and here is my story. I start by saying CALL YOUR VET and ask what they think. So here goes. Mina was always a picky eater, never excited about ANY food. She would throw up if she went more than 8 hrs at night without food. She would throw up (still does) if she goes more than 5 hrs without food during the day. If her soft food is to high in protein, she will throw up and have runny stool, this lesson cost me $700 and a trip to the EC on icy roads. This was years 1 to 2 1/2. At this point I am a bit nuts about her eating, when and what. Especially sense I have to beg and bribe her. At the EC the vet explained to me that she had a 60lb dog that did the same thing and she explained what she did to help her dog. Pepcid am and pm ,followed by sucralafate am and pm then meal. I took this information to my vet who agreed to do this and, told me the dosage and told me how long to do this before I began weaning her off of the meds,very,very slowly. The time span for this was approx. 6months. This brings us to the age of 3yrs. Mina began to be very excited about food,even kibble. I was so overjoyed to see this that I actually cried on more than one occasion. She loves her cookies! She loves her kibble,even dancing in circles at meal time. Mina is now 4yrs old and has had Pepcid one time because of Hartguard upsetting her tummy. We are still on a strick eating schedule. 8am breakfast,11am cookie,6pm 20 or so pieces of kibble and 8pm is dinner. Mina is not a tiny,she weighs 7 1/2lbs,very robust in her play,maybe a little pigeon toed in her walk. I hope that this will help. There is NOTHING worse than your baby not wanting to eat or play and you can not find why. I say this again: If you are interested in trying this CALL YOUR VET. Pepcid is OTC but the dosage will vary from dog to dog. Sucralafate is a prescription drug. |

Senior Yorkie Talker | Thank you Thank you so much to all for your very welcome replies. I will keep an eye on Hollee and try out the info given. Hollee does eat very well..although tiny she is called Miss Piggy 😃 her kibble is left out all day for her to help herself but she seldoms eats any. In the evening she at 5.30 she has a large meal of chicken & rice on her kibble. She carefully eats all her chicken and leaves all her kibble. Sometimes will go back and finish that but not always. I will definitely discuss again with my vet and add another small meal before bed. . Thank you all again. So nice to be back A

| Has your little gal had her blood work done recently? I know that frequent vomiting can be associated with mvd/pvh which would require a dietary change.

| Same thing just started today with maggie - she woke up around 6am and threw up yellow foam. I fed her, walked her, and all seemed fine. Tonight around 5pm she threw up the yellow foam again. So I fed her, walked her, and she was fine. Both times she got sick, it was right around the time I feed her. Now...something I need to consider...she never used to go for walks with me, she was very afraid of leaving the yard and was not leash trained, but since the holidays I finally (after months of patience and training!) have her out walking and she loves it. We walk around the block 2 (sometimes 3) times a day (morning, mid afternoon, evening). I wonder if with the added exercise I need to feed her more. She drifts between 7-8 pounds. We live in an older neighborhood, the blocks are small.

I wondered if the supplement was pure milk thistle or was there something else in it as well? If not, how much milk thistle was in it? My Yorkie is a big girl and weighs 12 and a half pounds - how much does your little one weigh? The reason I ask is that I would like to try milk thistle for Tootsy's morning vomiting. I know that it is not toxic, so I could try it and see if it helps her. Hope you don't mind me asking you for all this info.? I like to go the natural route rather than drugs, if at all possible. Thanks for letting everyone know about the milk thistle - morning vomiting is quite common it seems. Do you still give your baby an evening snack? yorkieg: | |

| One of my pups was doing that. My vet suggested Pepcid and a small meal at bedtime. Worked like a charm!
