P.S. don't tell me to take her to the vet ,she isn't my dog!

Answer 1

Just take her to the vet anyways!!!!!....Don't ask questions about it!...Just take action!...If you don't act, no one will, and you will regret it the rest of your life. The VET is the only person who can help that dog!

Answer 2

Carsickness is a pretty common problem in canines. It is caused by motion-sickness, but mostly-anxiety. She may be afraid of the ride itself, or the destination. First, a vet should examine the dog for some other cause of vomiting. If no medical reason is found in the examination, then you should get a prescription medicine or try a technique, and I will tell you. Try Dramamine, a medication that some dogs respond to, others don't. Try it for 5 days and if it doesn't work, throw it away-there will be no use for it, unless you have a friend who has that problem. Traveling light on an empty belly usually works. The best way to defeat car and motion-sickness is to gain the animal's trust and confidence. Try sitting in the car for a little while, give her a few treats. Do this every day for about a week. The next week, start driving short distances (very short) and make sure it always ends up somewhere fun, like the park, a friends' house who has a friendly dog that yours can play with, or anywhere the dog enjoys. Keep this on for at least a week. The next week start driving longer distances, and longer. But, they always have to end up somewhere pleasurable, if you want to gain the animal's trust and confidence. Good Luck!

Okay, your dog or not if you really are worried I would at least call a vet. Other than that I would look at what you're feeding her, most puppy foods have milk products in them and she may be allergic to them. She may also have worms, you'll have to take a stool sample into the vet to decide that. Don't give her table scraps, and go to a feed store to get some good quality puppy food. Most of the food on the market right now is comprised of chicken meal which can mean chicken feathers, bones, even the feet. Get in touch with a person at an animal feed store and ask what they recommend as food goes. Good luck!

Maybe eating too fast - try giving her smaller meals throughout the day instead of a few large ones. Not a bad idea to have him take her to the vet...she needs vaccines anyways - then he could ask about the vomiting.

Try changing the puppy food...some foods don't agree with some dogs. And make sure you are feeding a good diet - 'Ol Roy and the like are not a good diet!

Answer 5

If the regurgitation occurs immediately, esophageal problems seem likely. Megaesophagus is one possibility. We have information on that in our dog medical information pages . Other possible problems include persistent aortic arches (though most puppies with this condition don't grow well), hiatal hernias, esophageal diverticulums and gastroesophageal reflux. Vomiting should occur immediately upon eating any solid food with persistent aortic arches and starts as soon as the puppy begins to eat solid food. Gastroesophageal reflux is caused by a number of conditions and it usually is associated with weight loss or slow weigh gain as well.

If the regurgitation is delayed a little after eating, stomach problems may be more likely. In this case, pyloric stenosis and gastritis may be more likely. Testing for these conditions usually involves using barium or other contrast X-rays and possibly endoscopy.

If you think that the vomiting may just be related to eating too much too fast (this really does seem to be the problem in some dogs) it can help to feed multiple smaller meals. Sometimes overly greedy dogs will eventually get the idea that the food is available and slow down in their eating habits.

Please have your vet check on this puppy. It is important to treat esophageal problems as early as possible for best long term results

Answer 6

She may be eating too quickly. Her food may be low quality. She may be allergic to something in her food. She may have a medical problem.

I'm not going to tell *you* to take her to the vet, but you should urge your boyfriend to. If she's throwing up each time she eats, then she isn't getting enough nutrients and is probably dehydrated. Both can rapidly lead to death.
