Any help you can give me is really appreciated

I'm very sorry about your little Annie, I know she's in a better place now.

But Oreo does this too, should I be worried? he does it let's say once every 2-3 weeks.. small little spots of foamy white stuff, not a lot.. very little... how does tracheal collapse sound on a dog? I'm scared because Ginger always breathes funny, but it goes away.. and she does this every other week. it scares me!

My Andy didn't have this white foam vomit until after he was 5 years old and he has just recently been showint the signs that Annie did for tracheal collapse.
If he gets excited he begins to breathe fast, then he starts a rasping sound in his throat and he starts to cough.The more excited he gets the worse he gets.
Annie was afraid of storms and she would do this mostly when it was thundering and lightning.My vet gave me a small pill to give her to sedate her when it stormed.
Andy has started to be afraid of storms lately too and he over breathes when it is storming.I feel he has the same thing Annie did.The white foam vomit started after Annie was 5 too.I always wondered if it had something to do with the tracheal collapse,so seeing this same thing in Andy is a great concern for me.maybe one symptom has nothing to do with the other? Maybe the white foam vomit is just signs of an upset stomach but as i said..the day Annie died there was alot of this white foam in the room.

Ginger too does that weird noise when she get too hyper.. hmm im scared now lol.

skimandfrank · 05-03-2005, 10:11 AM

Pebbles does that sound too - seems like I read somewhere about "reverse sneezing." If I'm wrong about the terminology - I apologize, but I think that's right. Whatever website I read from said to rub their throat gently & it will stop...so far that has worked for Pebbles.

Josie's Mom · 05-03-2005, 10:46 AM

Oh wow, you mean Josie's not the only one. She always throws up and it's the yellow bile and it's about every two weeks and always on my blankets or bed. I get really concered and scared for her but, once it's over and she seems fine and just starts to play like nothing ever happened.

Hi

Pip has just thrown up but I have just got in from work and I let him out for a wee then gave him a bonio and he gulped it down then snatched some dried food from his bowl and must have gulped that down too. I haven't known him throw up before but nice to know it's normal if others do it too!!

Bart's Mom · 05-03-2005, 11:47 AM

Hi, I'm new to this forum having recently added a Yorkie to our household and have a question that I will post separately. However, I saw the question about throwing up and wanted to respond...

I also have a Lhasa. She throws up yellow bile quite frequently - usually in the morning on an empty stomach. I confirmed this with my vet. He suggested keeping some kibble in my bedside table and to give her a couple pieces first thing in the a.m. - especially if I plan to lounge a bit. This has stemmed quite a few puking episodes! Hope this helps.

Bodhi'sMom · 05-03-2005, 01:33 PM

I dogsit a shi tzu (sp?). When she was younger she was prone to throwing up when she hadn't eaten. Similiar to Yorkies, this breed has sensitive tummies.

As someone mentioned above, empty tummy = yellow bile. This dog wouldn't eat the first day that I dogsat, but never threw up. Maybe her kibble that I gave her by hand as treats was enough to keep her tummy quiet.

Now, with my own 6 mo old yorkie, I keep a bit of kibble in his bowl all the time. LOL, kinda lost my train of thought with the noise that started up outside.

Oh yea, training to puke in a certain spot.... Dogs seem to have a difficult time focusing on anything but this automatic reaction that their body is having at the time to try to decipher what you're telling them.

Even if you say "Good Boy!" after they've thrown up in a desired location, I imagine that the dog is still absorbed into what just happened to them and what's now in front of them (the bile) and maybe even a little scared.

I would refrain from picking up a dog to remove it from, say, the bed while it's tummy is having spasms! Have always layed the nearest magazine in the target area hoping that stuff would land on it. Of course, you can't do that if you're not around or awake.

Just my thoughts and trying to see it from a dog's point of view.

Do you think it's possible to train a Yorkie to throw up in a certain area as well? Yoda puked all over our bed this morning, we'd much prefer him to throw up on the vinyl flooring in the kitchen.

Can't believe I just saw this post? [Well, yeah, I can believe it ... I'm so far behind!!]

Toto does the same thing! Yellow, foamy bile that stains like crazy! Fortunately, she does have a fave spot that she tries to get to ... one of her little oval sherpa beds that can be thrown in the washer & dryer! [lucky me!] I appreciate all the posts, at least I can try to associate it with something before I bring this to our vet's attention. The incidents are so spaced out that I always forget to ask about it. Her pattern is pretty much like all the rest I read here!

iheartyorkies · 05-04-2005, 06:07 AM

My Schnauzer has always been a puker. From day 1. My vet said he just has a quirky stomach. He throws up bile sometimes and sometimes it's his whole supper. Since I've had him on Flint River Ranch white fish and potatoe dog food his puking has decreased about 90%. My vet told me I could give him pepcid on a regular basis to ease his stomach also. You might check with your vet to see if this could be done with a Yorkie. Good luck and sorry to hear when any of our babies don't feel well.

moonvalley · 05-06-2005, 09:49 AM

It might be that he has a lowgrade Camby that coes and goes. Look at the posts under my name for Update on Feliz. Once I began treatment the throwup stopped.

About a month ago mickey was puking that yellow bile stuff everywhere and I rushed him to the vet and they said he must have gotten into something but I couldn't figure it out for the life of me. Well at lunch today I found a little bit again in his cage. Then I noticed your post today so maybe its common for yorkies

second wind · 05-06-2005, 10:27 AM

Heidi throws up yellow bile once in a while and if it persists the vet gives her a can of special food which takes care of it, he said see has gastritous. The food settles her stomach in about a day.

iLuvYOUyorkie · 05-06-2005, 11:19 AM

you are NOT alone. my yorkie has thrown up a yellowish bile as well. i have NO idea why he does this either. its only happened about 3x within 4 months. the 3rd time was a little scary and i took him to the emergency vet to see if he was okay and he was perfectly healthy.....i dont think you should worry too much... and i doubt you can train them where to throw up....i guess they just feel sick and when u gotta throw up---u just do it regardless where it is. good luck!

moonvalley · 05-06-2005, 11:49 AM

I looked up white vomit. I only found 3 things.

1. Collapsing trachea
2. Poisoning- liver damage
3. A dog with Kennel Cough will develop a coarse, dry, hacking cough about five to ten days after being infected. It sounds as if the dog needs to "clear it's throat" and the cough will be triggered by any extra activity, drinking water, exposed to change of temperature or exercise. Many dogs that acquire Kennel Cough will cough every few minutes, all day long. They will wretch and sometimes vomit a white foamy looking matter.

I know there is a type of mop/cleaning fluid that is on the market that contains radiator fluid, and can be absorbed through the skin, and is very toxic even once dry on the floor (I will not name names). I only use bleach, pinesol, ammonia, murphy's oil soap and simple green.

I would say goto a vet asap.
Good luck, and my thoughts go with you.
