But if it persists, please consider seeing your vet.

No I haven't changed his food yet but it was something that I was thinking of doing. Thank you for your advice and for replying to my question. tpitcher

Thank you for letting me know your story, its nice to know that my Ranger isn't the only one who has gone throw this. tpitcher

Usually when our pups (or even we) throw up only yellow fluid (bile), it's because our stomachs are empty and there is nothing else there to come up.
And even having only fluid (water) in our stomachs doesn't stop this from happening.

You might try feeding your puppy smaller amounts more often.

Whenever my pups (dogs) appear to be having an upset stomach, I let them have Tums. My vet said this will do the same thing for them that it does for us --- cut down on the acid content in the stomach. Giving your pup a Tums occasionally won't hurt her at all.

If she's real small - just give her half of one every once in a while. If she throws up often - you'll quickly be able to tell if this helps her.

Cali is 9 months old and still does this 1-2 times a week first thing in the morning even though I feed her 3 times a day and she had tons of test and even stomach biopsies. Vet said just to feed her 3 times a day.
