How common is it for a dog to throw up?
 
Sadie threw up in her crate last night, it only happened once and was a little tiny bit of foam. Is this somewhat normal for a puppy to do or something to worry about?

marcerella02 09-12-2009 05:28 PM
if it is foam it is bile. This means her tummy is empty and that is why she is throwing up. Layla used to do this nightly. now we give her a snack right before bed (around 10, 10:30) of pure plain yogurt and baby food fruit. This gives her just a bit of something in her tummy and keeps her from throwing up.

:thumbup:

If you think it's happening even after she eats, then it could be something else. One time wouldn't concern me unlesss it's a very young pup. If it happens often, there may be another reason for it.

RachelandSadie 09-12-2009 05:40 PM
i'll try that tonight and see if that makes her feel better, she's never done that at night before, but last Monday she got sick four times and then was fine afterwards. that time i believe was because she tried to eat a daddy long legs and they are known to spray a stinky smell to avoid getting eaten, she reacted like it got her, then she tried to get it off her face and then threw up four times

i was scared to death, but she napped and acted fine and after the fourth throw up she stopped gagging and was fine and she ate supper that night and hasn't had anything happen until last night.

i think she's okay, just worries me a lot

and she did just have her flea and tick meds yesterday which were changed to Vectra 3D or First Shield Trio (same thing)

i have another thread about this med, i'm not sure of it yet, but i called the ER vet tonight just to check and she said that it's a highly recommended flea and tick med. and that the throwing up as long as she's eating and drinking and acting herself she's ok

Patti 09-12-2009 05:51 PM
Mine will occassionally throw up for no apparent reason, when they were puppies if their tummies were empty they would throw up yellow bile, so they still get a snack before bed. I know some dogs can have a reaction to flea and tick meds. Hope Sadie feels better.

RachelandSadie 09-12-2009 05:56 PM
also i wanted to add, she's been really stinking up the place while sleeping today, i've noticed some really ranchy smells that i can only assume are SBD toots. i hope her tummy isn't upset, i haven't really given her anything out of the ordinary, i did give her a new dog treat yesterday, only half of it, and she ate a little bully stick piece or two today...she can finally get them apart.

i dunno but she's sleeping peacefully on my lap, has been a little sleepier today than i'm used to, but then again she's done her share of chewing/playing too, and she did just have a warm bath and is in her sweater so she's extra sleepy and i've been extra lazy today so maybe that's just adding to her tiredness??!

i think she's ok, i just worry a lot and get very very nervous about EVERYTHING

you sound JUST like me :D if layla is sleepier than normal or eats more than normal I worry.

Is your pup's food fish based/ That could be causing the bad gas- Layla had AWFUL gas on a fish based food.

I know a warm bath and a warm sweater would make me sleepy :) Layla is always more cuddly when she has clothes on- so i'm sure that is the case for your pup too.

RachelandSadie 09-12-2009 06:53 PM
yes i'm the most worrisome person ever, i don't kno how i'll ever make it through kids, i'll have a stress attack and die from a little cough or something, i know one thing...i'll stay far away from forums and too much information when i have kids...it's usuful, but only makes the worries worse :)

this is probably due to empty stomach - how long in between feeding?

never heard of that flea protection and we go to a dermatologist and most recommend frontline plus so a little leery of the one you posted and if she vomitted after that i would not do it again as i really do not think the spider would cause this

If she is having gas, please get her off her current food. Having gas can be quite physically uncomfortable (just like in humans). A dog having gas often is a sign that their is an ingredient in her food irritating her digestive system.

What are you feeding for food and for treats?

Ellie May 09-13-2009 05:54 AM
It sounded like she threw up one time after being crated for awhile from your original post. If she threw up four times in a row and has gas, it is probably a different problem entirely.

she's on a homemade raw diet, but i did give a new treat the other day when this all happened. i won't give that one again. she does have bully sticks and can actually eat them now, so it might be that too for the gas. she also didn't poop yesterday, so i might have to go get pumpkin today

that's what happened on Friday night, it was Monday that she threw up four times and was fine until Friday. and the gas i don't think is related, it might be the bully sticks or this new treat i tried to give her.

also, i gave a bath last night so i think she's feeling better with that oily feeling on her coat.

like i said, i'm more worried about the pooping now and if i don't get results i a bit i'm going out for some pumpkin. any particular brand a good choice?

chachi 09-13-2009 11:18 AM
Mine do have an off day where they vomit once but if it were multiple times they would be going to the vet

My vet switched over to Vectra 3d also and I won't use it.
I'm sticking with Frontline Plus. Vectra has a different pesticide in it
and it's been known to kill dogs. Check it out on line. The pesticide
is called Permethrin. Vet's buy whatever salesmen sell them. I don't believe they know what's in the stuff they recommened. If it weren't for TLC I would
be using this stuff. Don't panic just check for yourself and make your own
decision. I didn't like what I read about this pesticide. It's much stronger
than the other's.

it's okay it's been doing that to me all day long...do you know if i can take medicine back i still have four of those things left in the pack and i don't want to use it again, i liked k-9 advantix just fine and was mad that they changed it on me but try to just trust the vets, i don't know if i trust them anymore at all and it's so hard because they are the people you are supposed to trust more than anyone else because they have been educated more than we have on these things. i hate that you can't trust medical professionals at all anymore, MDs are the same way, i'd much rather self diagnose because i'm almost always right and they can't figure it out.

ARCHIE 09-14-2009 12:45 PM
I returned mine before I used it. If yours is open I don't believe they will
allow you to return it. Sorry I didn't get a chance to tell you before
you already used it. Don't feel bad because I did the same thing.
She gave me such a pep talk regarding this crap I bought it.
I posted this new product on YT thinking I found something wonderful
and TLC clued me in. So we learn from each other and have to educated
our vet's. LOL

found her never mind i'm calling right now to try and get them to take it back because of a reaction to it ;) yes yes, i'm using her probably unrelated vomiting incident and her itching (a little bit) to get rid of this junk and go get some good stuff for next time. hope they take it back cross your fingers!!

OH YAY, they said they would let me return it, i even said that i only used one tube of it and she got a reaction.

so what should i switch to?? back to K9-advantix or should i try frontline!?

RachelandSadie 09-14-2009 04:39 PM
ok i took it back, but now what should i use? frontline doens't kill ticks and we have them in MO badly, should i use advantix which has that same permethrin stuff or just use frontline and be careful to check her for ticks, we have those dreaded deer ticks around here, the super small ones that carry lyme and she's so dark i can't see her skin everywhere very good!?

help me choose a better med please

lovespandp 09-14-2009 05:05 PM
if you used advantix on her before go back to that..

I have been using advantix for 2 years and I love it!

BonBon 09-15-2009 05:02 AM
I've never used Advantix and don't know anything about it.

I have used Frontline Plus for years with great success. Frontline Plus does kill ticks, regular Frontline does not. I believe it's the most widely used product on the market. If you decide to use Frontline Plus, you should know that the smallest dose available is for dogs UP TO 22 pounds. Since Sadie is much smaller than that, I'd suggest you apply only 1/3 to 1/2 of the applicator contents each treatment. Refrigerate what's left and use it on her next treatment. This is more economical and helps prevent giving too much at once. My vet recommended this method years ago and I've since noticed many YT'rs do the same thing.

flea & tick
 
I'm just wondering if it is absolutely necessary to use flea/tick meds for a Yorkie.
They are so small and almost never outside and if they are kept clean why use them. I don't want to use anything on my Yorkie he doesn't really need.

Well it's up to you on what you want for your furbaby, but I think if you take them out in the grass they have a chance to get fleas...I think its better to be safe than sorry and have to deal with the whole flea mess! Advantix is a really good product I have used it on peanut when he was a pup and I never had any problems or concerns. He goes everywhere with me, always in the grass, dirt, groomers, day care. I have never seen a flea. The good thing with advantix is it kills and repels against the fleas. It also protects against Mosquitos and Ticks!
