6 Month old Dog Vomiting?

Question

I have a 6 Month old Bullmastiff - had her since she was 10 weeks old. The last Two night she has woken up around 4:30 / 5:00 am vomiting. No Food or anything is coming up, it is a White Fluffy Substance.....other than that she is acting normal and usually very healthy. Any thoughts?

Answer 1

I have 2 beasts (aka bully's) myself. They are 15 months/litter-mates. Our boy is VERY sensitive and if he licks a crumb off the floor he barfs. He also has very bad allergies which causes him to throw-up. He eats grass, leaves and anything he can. Our girl on the other hand - is strong as nails.
There is nooooooo need for you to worry unless she has diarrhea as well. The 2 combined is a tell-tell sign somethng may be wrong. We had our bullmastiffs on a raw diet for their first 7 months, which caused extra vomit. We switched over to kibble, and it went away. If you feel worried, there is no harm in going to the vet.

Answer 2

This is very hard to say- diarrhea can be a mild problem, or can be extremely serious. With the added symptoms of lethargia, I would say this is a serious problem and vet intervention is necessary. The most important thing to do is keep him hydrated, even if that includes giving him water with a syringe or medicine dropper. Pedialyte is also good to help replenish electrolytes. Don't worry about him not eating right now, that is the least of your worries. Vet intervention is needed IMMEDIATELY if: 1. Diarrhea is very foul smelling or bloody 2. Gums are very pale pink or white 3. Dog will not move Make sure, if he is not drinking, that you give him fluids every 15 - 30 minutes. If you are having financial difficulties, try contact a local humane society or animal welfare league for assistance.

Answer 3

Has this been goin on for more than two hours? Did the dog get some heavy exercise last night or in the middle of the night? If it is white foam and the dog keeps doing it, take him/her to the vet immediately. Big dogs that get alot of exercise are extremely prone to folding stomach. They either need a $700 operation or need to be put down. Even after the operation though, the dog is still now highly prone to getting it again. I hope it is not this. We had to put a dog down because of this.

Answer 4

Thats nothing but mucas or stomach acid. That happens sometimes when dogs have an upset stomache. I wouldnt worry about it unless it happens again. Just keep an eye out for a few days. You should also watch what you feed her for a few days no special foods if you know what I mean. Pizza, spicey stuff etc.

Answer 5

if she seems fine then she may have just drank water to fast. flooding stomachs is not a term its called bloat and this is when a dogs stomach flip closing everything off. its surgy if u are lucky to catch it most dogs die from this. but dont worry . if she was patting heavy and not eating then u would want to bring her to the vets. dont take her out for a long run and then let her gulp down water or eat. let her take only sips a few minutes apart to avoid bloat.

Answer 6

She might be chewing on something that's making her sick. Keep an eye on everything she puts her mouth on. If she's acting healthy I wouldn't worry too much but if she starts acting lethargic or stops eating I would get her to a vet ASAP.

Answer 7

Take her to the vet...she might have swallowed a foreign object/substance that is causing a blockage...I have had a bull mastiff (best dog in the world)...but she would swallow a bird whole...Good luck.

Answer 8

Is she outside eating grass? They do that sometimes and puke.

Usually white to yellow and foamy I would take her to the Vet. Just to be on the safe side.

Answer 9

I would take her 2 the vet just 2 b sure she is fine.

Answer 10

is she eating, acting normal? either way, i would definitely contact a vet about this, describe the symptoms and see if they think you should bring her in.
