Heat question.. - YorkieTalk.com Forums

My 4 yr old just went into heat today. She has also thrown up several times. She has addisons disease so I don't know if throwing up is normal when you go into heat or if she is sick and it is a coincidence she started her heat today?
I would appreciate your input.

Your dogs vomiting should have nothing to do with your female being in heat but vomiting is a symptom of Addison's disease.

It is possible the hormonal changes could make her Addison's disease worsen. Is she under the care of a vet? If it continues she might need to be checked by a vet.

Thank you! Yes, we see a vet every 25 days for an injection. She sees him next week, but I will take her in sooner if she doesn't stop vomiting.

Here is more information on Addison's disease. It sound like it could get pretty serious. The vomiting would really concern me. Make sure she does not get dehydrated. I would definitely take her to the vet in the morning if she throws up anymore. I hope she feels better soon.
