Her head shaking and she is throwing up anywhere between 2 and 8 times a day. Her over all attitude is unusual. She seems down and out and distracted.
I'm sorry to hear that your pup isn't feeling well. Vomiting multiple times a day, especially over several days, along with head shaking and changes in behavior, can indeed be concerning.
Firstly, regarding the vomiting, clear and slimy vomit often indicates that your dog is bringing up stomach or esophageal contents. This can happen for various reasons, such as dietary indiscretion, gastrointestinal irritation, or even more serious conditions like infections or blockages. Since she's vomiting frequently, it's crucial to keep her hydrated. Offer her small amounts of water frequently, but avoid giving her food for 12 hours to allow her stomach to settle. After this fasting period, you can try offering a bland diet, such as boiled chicken and rice, in small, frequent meals.
As for the head shaking, this behavior often points to ear discomfort, which could be due to an ear infection, mites, or other irritants. Check her ears for signs of redness, swelling, discharge, or an unusual odor. If you notice any of these symptoms, gently clean her ears with a pet-safe ear cleaner, but avoid using cotton swabs inside the ear canal. If the head shaking persists, it might be necessary to have her ears examined by a professional.
Given the combination of symptoms and the duration, it's essential to keep a close eye on her. If her condition doesn't improve or if she shows signs of severe distress, it would be best to seek veterinary care to rule out any serious underlying conditions.
If you have any further questions or need additional guidance, please don't hesitate to ask. Thank you.
