she just started throwing up today. she’s still playful and acts like she wants to eat but she don’t and she’s threw up 7 times today.
It sounds like your dog is experiencing some discomfort, and I understand how concerning that can be. Vomiting in dogs can stem from various causes, such as dietary indiscretion, infections, or even stress. The fact that she's vomiting yellow fluid suggests her stomach is empty, leading to bile being expelled. It's reassuring to hear that she remains playful, which indicates she might not be feeling too unwell overall.
Here are a few steps you can take at home to help her:
Firstly, it's a good idea to give her stomach a break by withholding food for 12 to 24 hours. During this time, ensure she has access to fresh water to prevent dehydration. After this fasting period, you can gradually reintroduce food by offering her a bland diet, such as boiled chicken and rice, in small, frequent meals. This can help settle her stomach.
It's also important to monitor her for any additional symptoms, such as diarrhea, lethargy, or changes in behavior, as these could indicate a more serious issue. Make sure she stays hydrated by offering ice cubes or small amounts of water frequently.
Since she has vomited multiple times and is experiencing a loss of appetite, if the vomiting continues into the next day or if she starts showing signs of lethargy or other concerning symptoms, it would be wise to consult a veterinarian. They can perform a thorough examination and possibly run tests to determine the underlying cause.
If you have any further questions or need additional guidance, please feel free to reach out. Thank you.
