The dog is fine, he is bouncing around, playful, friendly, and only 5 months old and yet after coming inside he began to throw up. I know it sounds crazy but there is this awful flu virus running rampant thru our city and I was just curious. No he couldn't have eaten anything outside either, he is chained in an controlled area.

yes dogs can get the flu... it may also be a g.i. infection as well.... I would withhold food for 12 hours see if it helps then do a bland diet but if not better go to within a day
hope he feels better :)

If he is otherwise acting normal, besides the throwing up, it could be simply something he ate that didn't agree with him, or even eating to much. Make sure he drinks lots of water and if he isn't better in a day or two, get him to the vet so they can check him out. Dogs cannot catch your cold or flu from you.

No, I don't think it's the flu. He may be eating something while outdoors that is making him sick, and you need to be careful, too much stuff outside that can make him really ill, like rodents, and so many other things. He also may be eating too fast and then being too physical, and his tummy gets upset because of this.
The only way to make sure he is ok is to have him checked out by a vet.

Maybe he may have eaten some poisonus plant outside?
Take him to the vet if he keeps doing that.

He probably ate another dogs turd. No, seriously dogs do that! then they get sick as heck. My Pom used to do it all of the time. He'll be fine, dogs have fantastic immune systems! I guess God knew he'd need to protect them from themselves.....
