Why does he throw up yellow?

[tpitcher]

HI, my 8 month old Ranger has been throwing up yellow byle. It could happen at any time and it is usally just liquidy. I feed him straight dry food: Royal Canine puppy. If any one knows what I'm doing wrong please help.

It's definitely bile. Have you talked to your vet about it? If your dog is still eating, I'd definitely want tests run.

Is he getting enough water? My yorkies will throw up yellow if they are not drinking enough.

Yes he does get lost of water. I heard that it might be because he only gets dry food. But I'm not sure how true that is, do you? Thank you for replying.

No I haven't talked to the vet yet because I didn't think it was a serious problem and I had someone tell me that it might be because he eats only dry food, but i'm not sure about that. Do you know?

My dogs eat straight dry dog food from puppy age. They do not throw up bile. there could be something more serious there.

It is bile..and they do it when the stomach is empty and a bit queasy..you can stop it by giving a late night snack and early morning feeding. Good Luck

PS..Royal Canine is extremely high in protein, so be careful with a Yorkie...you want to hold around 22-24%..I think RC is 33?? nOt sure..

Thank you for your reply. I didn't know that the food I was feed was high, I just kept him on the same food as the breeder had him on. I will try your suggestion of feeding him a late night or early morning. Thank you again. tpitcher

Hello, I am going to consult my vet and try feeding him late night or early morning. Thank you so much for all your help. tpitcher

Shelby did this a lot when she was younger.

It only happened in the morning on an empty stomach. Vet said it's common in little dogs with sensitive stomachs.

Limit the carpet gunk intake and get food in the tummy early.

(The ONLY time it happens now is when we take her to a different home and she decides to clean the carpet of gunk spots. Next morning, she hurls)

I do not have this problem as I feed my gang twice a day.

Have you changed food recently? Changing them over cold turkey, can do this to them as well. Trixie threw up a couple of times in the week that I switched her food from Royal Canine to a Vet Diet of Eukanuba. Even though I mixed the old and the new food for a week, she still had an upset tummy. I gave her Nutrical and water after she threw up. And she was fine!

But if it persists, please consider seeing your vet.

Mojo had this problem for about 3 or 4 months, after a good few hundreds in vet bills we still couldn;t find anything wrong with him...so we completely changed his diet...he is on a scheduled feeding and now has 2 1/2 meals...the half is during the day in between meals...so his stomach never gets empty. He will still throw up sometimes if he eats something different but it is 99% better....talk to your vet and see what he/she recomend and if necessary run a few exams...
