Molly's puking // UPDATE: POST #18

**BC_MoM** · 10-05-2007, 10:23 AM

Molly has been puking pretty much since 7:00 this morning. She's puking yellow bile every 20-30mins or so. She whines before she throws up, so I have a chance to get her outside.

She is drinking normally. I feed my dogs in the late afternoon, but I tried offering her some plain yogurt and she wouldn't touch it.

I left a message for my mom to call me, to see what she thinks.

Anyone have any idea what could be wrong?

If it keeps up, I'm going to get her in at our vet later this afternoon.

If the dog repeatively drinks water and immediately vomits, then there is the possibility of an intestinal obstruction.

If not then there is something that is exciting the small intestine to reflux up. Also stomach irritation resulting in reflux could get yellow bile to come up. In this case you might want to call the Vets and ask what the dosage would be for an acid blocker such as rantidine (Zantac). Might take upwards to an hr to work - if it does.

Certainly heading for the Vet if it continues is prudent. They can stop the vomiting with metoclopromide or Zofran, and/or they might prescribe Metronidazole to help clear up any intestinal inflamation.

Oh No!!

I hope the vet's find out what's wrong with her!!

She didn't puke since 10:20 but just puked again. The amounts of puke aren't getting any smaller.

She also had a stool in the backyard. The poo itself is normal, but it was covered in what looked like yellow mucus.

I called the vet, and we are going to try and squeeze in between two appointments at 4:00. If not, they said they will stay open for us and check her out because it's the long weekend for Thanksgiving, and they won't be open on Sunday or Monday.

Ugh... I am so upset. I can't stop crying because I'm worried.

Please pray that it is only a little bug and not something like an obstruction.

Long weekend for Thanksgiving???

Or do you mean Columbus Day??

Either or, hope they can figure out what is wrong. Poor pup.

Ooopss... just looked it up, and seems there is a difference between Canada and USA with that (not that I'm surprised, lol).
