Answer 1

I am a vet, and I work at an emergency clinic. If you cannot get your dog to the vet tonight, pick up all food and water. Do not feed any medication, liquid or food to your dog. It will only cause more vomiting. An adult dog should not dehydrate too much overnight.

Have you had xrays of her abdomen taken? If not, you need to. She may have a foreign object in her stomach or intestines, and this will usually not just go away. You may also want to have blood work done to rule out pancreatitis, liver disease, or other metabolic conditions.

How old is your dog? Has she had any weight loss? How long has she been vomiting? All of these things are important to know.

Good luck, and get to the vet in the morning, for testing.

Answer 3

eurostar897 is a complete moron. Vets don't always have the answer right away, especially since their patients can't talk. And when owners dont authorize tests (not that you did this), it makes it even harder. You try going to Vet School and see how that works out.

Ok, on to the questions.

First, there could be several things going on here, i'm going to list some possibilities and then what you would need to do in that case:

Gastrointestinal foreign body - barium series xrays and abdominal surgery

Chronic gastritis - steroids, possibly surgery, this usally isnt treatable, just manageable with Rx diet.

Pancreatic insufficiency - TLI blood test, possibly a biopsy and meds

Parasites - fecal exam, dewormer, possibly intestinal antiinflammatory and iron supplement

esophageal "pocket" - surgery

tonsillitis - pharyngeal exam and antibiotics

food intolerance - change in diet/possibly food allergies

heartworms - serious treatment with intramuscular pesticides and cage rest.

ok so that's a few examples.....go to a reputable doctor and authorize all the tests he/she offers. DO NOT offer any food or water tonight as this will give her whole GI tract more to do tonight. try to get some rest, if she vomits more than 4 times in one hour or more than 8 times in 24 hours, GET HER TO AN EMERGENCY VET NOW.

hope this helps. good luck

Answer 4

Most towns have some sort of emergency vets on call at all hours. Have you tried the phone book?

If you feel like she will be stable until morning, then try dosing a half tab or full tab (depending on the dog's size) of Pepcid AC - ONLY PEPCID AC, not their other types - AC ONLY. We dose a quarter tab for our small dog (under 15 lbs), but a half is fine as well. I prefer this to Pepto because of the possibility of asprin toxicity in small dogs (my personal view).

As you know, this is not normal behaviour for a dog and the vets should be taking this more seriously. If she hasn't been able to keep things down for several days, she will probably need an IV and additional care and tests.

My fingers are crossed for you - I hope everything turns out well. : )

Answer 5

I am a veterinary technician, and we see this weekly. How old is your dog? Most dogs vomit occassionally, but shouldn,t vomit daily. Certain breeds also have very sensitive digestive systems such as Yorkies, Westies, Poodles, Lhaso's.Make certain you're feeding your pet a NAME BRAND food such as Purina, Iam's, Pedigree, etc. Normally to treat vomiting dogs, REMOVE ALL food and water for 4-6 hours. If no vomiting for that time period, measure 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water and give your dog. Wait for 30 minutes. If no vomiting give another measured amount as before.Food isn,t as important for 24 hours as water. Especially in summer months. If the water stays down, feed your dog equal amounts of cooked ground chuck and rice with a small amount of galic salt added to it. Only give 1/4 to 1/2 cup of this mixture at room temperature. Most dogs that vomit daily do so from an empty stomach(yellow bile), or clear frothy liquid because they eat way too fast. If that is the case, feed your dog 4 smaller meals through the day and add FRESH VEGGIES such as small raw pieces of carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, green peppers, green beans, they love this stuff,and its good for them. DO NOT feed table food(leftovers) that,s the worst thing to give an animal.You can also use some Pepto Bismol Caplets for your pet,but check with your vet. If your pet is older, persistent vomiting should be reason to do a VET BATTERY and CBC to check for liver, kidney, functions, and glucose, among other tests that this would include. Good luck and follow through with 1 doctor. Write down your questions. A GOOD veterinarian will take time to answer them, but you must go in person and take your dog.

Answer 6

How much are you feeding her at a time? You should be giving her one bite and if she keeps that down, give her one more. Tiny sips of water, as well. If this is been going on for awhile, she may need IV fluids to keep her from dehydrating. Is it possible she ate something she wasn't supposed to? Maybe licked a little antifreeze in the garage, stole a piece of chocolate? If it's possible, get her to a clinic ASAP. Is she peeing? If not, she is probably already dehydrated. I'd try to find a clinic and just try feeding her tiny bits at a time. Good luck.

Answer 7

If you are going to the vet in the morning, I would leave her to rest. She should be OK until then. If you can't be seen until later in the day use a baby medicine shooter to squirt water into her mouth. She'll throw up, but enough should stay down to help her.
Don't feed her anything. She will be better off letting her stomach rest.

Answer 8

Take the puppy to one more vet, preserve doing so till one among them can inform you what the hindrance is. Someone has received to grasp, and simply inspire the puppy to drink water, even supposing it will get thrown up, its higher than not anything. Worst case the vet can preserve the puppy in custody and provide it fluids so dehydration isn't an hindrance, that's some thing that you just can't do.

Answer 9

Take the canine to one more vet, hold doing so until one among them can tell you what the obstacle is. Any person has acquired to understand, and simply motivate the canine to drink water, even if it gets thrown up, its higher than nothing. Worst case the vet can preserve the canine in custody and give it fluids so dehydration just isn't an difficulty, which is anything that you simply cannot do.

Answer 10

Don't do anything, don't feed her at all and don't give her any home remedies. Take her to your vet for a workup first thing in the morning if you can't get on to one tonight. She needs a full workup.
She may have some kind of GI blockage or metabolic disease, she needs bloodwork and/or xrays.
