hyperion 122 Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 Don't know if I should be worried of not but skye my old lurcher that I rescued last summer wont stop puking, she is somewhere between 10 and 13 (or possibly older) and seems to be in good health but she just keeps on being sick. This has been going on for about three weeks now, she is eating and drinking fine, passing good solid stools with no sign of being wormy and the vet hasn't been able to fine anything wrong either but she is sick at least twice a day almost every day and some times more than twice a day, no reching or anything just Blurgh pile of vomit and then back to being fine. Any ideas? Cheers Pete Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hyperion 122 Posted July 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 She has just been sick for the fifth time today, no blood out of either end, just bright yellow vomity bile. I wouldn't normally bother and say she was just being a bit sicky but its becomming far to regular now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malt 379 Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 Is she eating grass Pete? My dogs spew up foamy yellowy greeny shite when they've been at it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hyperion 122 Posted July 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 She does but not today, I always let them eat grass if they want and they normally keep it down but just the last three or four weeks she has started being sick almost every day like clockwork.

hyperion 122 Posted July 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 Old Dog - Gall stones ? might just be Heartburn/Indegestion... Never gave that a thought, could be worth looking into more, I cant see it being heart burn or indegestion as its been going on too long Quote Link to post Share on other sites
riohog 5,895 Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 starve the dog for 24 hrs , then give it a small portion of rice and boiled chicken , see if it holds that down ... dogs eat grass to remove the bile from there stomaches , most dogs do it but not every day ,, oh yeah try giving her a spoonfull of kaolin to line her stomach might help 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nope different vet this time, they have taken blood tests to test for liver and kidney function and the vet reckons it could be either liver/kidney failure or more likely a stomach ulser. Just got to wait for the blood tests to come back now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
