My boxer vomits bile once every 5 or 6 weeks. Just one little vomit and that is it,he seems to be fine, no signs of feeling sick.
Somebody can tell me if it is normal?

Yes, it always happens in the mornings. He wont eat first, then pukes and later he eats no problem..

If he only does it once a month or less it is not a problem. Chances are he does it early in the morning also, it is not uncommon and based on its rarity it is not a sign of any major problems. Dogs throw up sometimes, he's fine.
If you feed him once a day it might help to feed him a small meal in the morning and a larger meal later in the day... My dogs used to do that all the time when I tried feeding them only once a day.

Yes, Unfortunately it is. I've had dogs all my life and it seems i've spent half that time cleaning up puke. Dogs have a much better system for dealing with stomach issues, thats why they can eat trash and dead stuff and not die like we would. For some dogs any little thing can set it off and they feel the need to "get it out".
Add this idea. Some dogs can be somewhat neurotic and this can manafest itself with puking. Boxers can certainly fit this profile, it may just be a personality quirk.

No!
Of course not.
MAybe you should try a new diet.
New dog food.
Do you feed your dog once a day or twice because if hes not a puppy anymore you're supposed to feed only once a day.
A few weeks ago my lil' boy, Nigel fed our yellow lab, Buddy 2 times a day for 2 weeks and Buddy kept throwing up.
It was horrible.

Sounds reasonably normal to me, depending upon what you are feeding your boxer. Dogs need a really regular diet with very little change. Occasional dog snacks are OK, but watch it. It is not too different that we humans overeating candy or other rich or fatty foods.

Totally normal. Dogs throw up all the time. If only because they have hair in their stomach.

It's very normal, maybe it's because they're choked a lot or because of something they ate.
