Is it true if a dog is sick with yellow bile overnight it is because it has been without food for too long?

Answer 1

Overview:
Vomiting is one of the more common reasons why owners take their dogs to the veterinarian. Isolated episodes of vomiting rarely are a cause for concern as long as the dog has an appetite and is bright and alert; most healthy dogs will, on occasion, vomit whole or partially digested food, grass, or foamy, clear liquid.

However, excessive or chronic vomiting lasting for several days can indicate a more serious underlying condition that requires treatment. Dogs that vomit for more than a day, or seem depressed and are not eating should receive prompt veterinary attention so that the cause of the vomiting can be determined and dehydration can be treated.

Clinical Signs:
Nausea will sometimes cause dogs to salivate. They may vomit food, clear liquid, stained yellow bile, grass or blood. Depending on the underlying cause of the vomiting, the dog can have a good or poor appetite, diarrhea, dehydration, or other signs. There can be weight loss if the disease has been going on for a while and the gums may be tacky or dry from dehydration.

Symptoms:
Owners frequently indicate that their dog has been salivating and vomiting whole undigested or digested food and a foamy fluid that may be yellow from bile, clear, or have blood in it. Some people report that their pet eats grass and then vomits the grass. Some dogs may maintain a good appetite, while other lose theirs entirely. There can be weight loss if the disease has been going on for a while and the gums may be tacky or dry from dehydration.

Has your dog been eating a lot of grass?

Answer 2

This is usually a sign of an irritated tummy. Try giving them some natural yogurt. Hopefully they'll brush it off, but obviously if they deteriorate (vomiting, not keeping anything down, and with diarrhoea) in view of their age, you'd probably be wise to see a vet - not just with throwing up a little bile however. If they are both doing this, I'd be less concerned than if it was just one - dogs do pick up the odd tummy bug, or eat something that doesn't agree.

It maybe the case. One of my Chihuahua's did this every day. I was all set to spend a fortune on tests, but my vet said first to try giving him a tablespoon of canned food morning and night to line his tummy. Sure enough he has not done it since. Give this a try. (A bigger dog would need more)

If it does not work after a couple of days though fo to the vet as it may well be the sign of something more serious too.

Good luck!

I never heard of this dogs tend to get an upset stomach from time to time my dogs will eat a certain blade of grass to encourage vomit.My dogs stop feeding time at 7 pm.and do not eat again till 530 am.

Answer 5

That's usually the case. Try giving the dog a couple of dog biscuits at bedtime.

Answer 6

It sound's like your dog has been eating grass, they do this some times to clean out there stomach. If the dog also has diarrhea I would take her to the vets before she becomes dehydrated.
