Puppy Vomitting After Drinking - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Hello! J is as active as ever today although not as squeaky however I just put down some food for lunch and he wouldn't look at it. I usually only have to put it down for 30 seconds he comes running from the other side of the room with an excited run. I don't know how he faired at breakfast this morning (although I expect my husband would have mentioned if he had been different than usual) because my husband gave it to him but he wouldn't touch his lunch unless I took each little bit out and held it in my hand. He then drank all of his water and puked it back up (nothing in it just water-y substance) and started to drink it.

He vomitted (I could actually see his body moving and hear it gurgling inside him) 3 times in about 10 minutes but is now fine and ate his food with a little nurture and calm words.

Is this normal behaviour?
The only difference to his routine I can think of is he had a worming tablet last night. I believe it was his first tablet and he was previously wormed with the breeder with a liquid of some kind. Would this cause him to vomit 14 hours later?

it could or there might be something else going on....14 hours is a bit longer than would expect for a reaction. your sure he didnt get ahold of something he shouldnt have...? just a cautious thought. if it continues i would call your vet dehydration can set in really quickly. hope J is ok and feeling better.

I don't think he got hold on anything - certainly not in the house anyway although we take him onto the patio for toilet so he may have got something when it was pitch black last night (although we do try to watch him very closely with a torch). I'm going to sit with him in the kitchen with the food and water readily available and see if he eats anything or vomits any further and if he does I'll be straight on the phone to the vet.

Thanks.

If there is vomiting a vet would usually recommend starving for 24 hours then feeding small amounts of something bland like chicken or white fish and rice so it settles the stomach. If more sickness persists, do atleast call a vet - as stated, dehydration is serious and such a small dog can become dehydrated very fast. Hope all is ok x

Thank you. He has been fine, no more throwing up and is eating as normal. Keeping an eye on his drinking though.

Happy to hear he is doing better now.

I have had experience with acid reflux in 2 of my 3 dogs here and believe it goes indiagnosed too often.
please take steps to ruke it out first:

Raised feeder that keeps neck straight whime eating/drinking

No immediate activity after eating/drinking

We use a water bottle not a water bowl

Check your food for irritants.

I give my dogs mother's apple cider vinegar.

So glad you know about Nutrical already.
