Vomiting mucus in dogs

Common Questions and Answers about Vomiting mucus in dogs

vomiting

If your dog is coughing a lot prior to vomiting it could be kennel cough, or other upper respiratory infection. Vomiting mucus may be regurgitation or actual vomiting. If it is actual vomiting it could be a just a bit of indigestion. For simple indigestion, over the counter Pepcid may be effective at a dose of 10 to 20 mg first thing in the morning. Regurgitation could be secondary to an esophagus problem such as megaesophagus, which can be a developmental problem.

We have a male rottweiler who in the last month or so has started vomiting mucus, sometimes with a small amount of food in, no blood or anything untoward. He hasnt eaten anything he shouldnt and apart from the vomiting he is fine in himself. He does a slight hacking noise like he is clearing his throat and he seems to throw up after he has been laying down.

I have no idea how often though, but the vomit is clear mucus. I've observed that she plays and eats a lil bit less, like the other day, while 3 of the other pups where in the garden playing, she's laying around in the kitchen and wouldn't come when I called her. She's also been chewing on leaves, grass, twigs which might have something to do with the vomiting.

then vomits frothy mucus, and then finally vomits about a teaspoon or two of bright red blood. This happens maybe twice a month. He never vomits food and does this on an empty stomach. It is always in the morning soon after I get up and he gets out of his crate. I assume the blood is from the violent retching he's doing. I've never found a foreign body or anything to indicate why he's doing this. He does have a habit of licking his front legs excessively (nervous habit).

I don't want to panic, but my dog vomited a very large pile of bile (white). Before I rush him (30 lb Boston Terrier, 8 yrs old) to the doctor, I would like to know what to watch for and what some common causes might be. He is a very sensitive dog and gets upset easily. We are NEVER out late, but came home a couple hours later than usual last night and this morning he vomited. With his sensitve personality, I was curious if it could be related.

Ok, I have given this advice before and it has helped with these vomiting issues in a few dogs including my kid's dogs. Might be worth a try. There are a lot of good brand dog foods out there but you may want to give this a try for a few days to a week. Get a small bag of Pro Plan Salmon for sensitive stomachs. Mix it half and half with what you feed now for 2-3 days then try switching over. Feed at least two or three smaller meals a day. Continue to give the Pepcid.

She acts like something is stuck in her throat. I was walking her and she began to cough again and then vomited up white mucus. At night, she began to grunt softly. I would like to know if there is anything I could do to help her until I get her to the vet. She is only 2yrs old. She does not seem to be sick because she eats the same and is extremely playful. Please help me. I am very worried. I have heard from many people that they have fed their dogs children's cough medicine.

My dog was fine yesterday and running around playing. This morning he has vomited 4 times, 3 were food and brownish liquid, the last was a thick clear/white mucus. His eyes are pretty bloodshot and tired looking, and the bottom whites of his eyes are swollen and bulging out. He is a 10 year old rottweiler, somewhat overweight. I am wondering if this could be a normal virus, or maybe more serious where he should be seen???

When we got a new vet, she immediately treated his ears, and no more vomiting. It can also happen if your dog has bad allergies, from all that mucus draining into the stomach. You might want to check your dog's ears for a lot of wax or redness, and watch for a lot of scratching or biting to indicate allergies.

I guess a good sign is that the last 2 days when I wiped there would be what looked like lil boogers on the toilet tissue! LOL! Gross! I know from experience that it is from the mucus plug forming. Nothing like that today. I also did not take my progesterone last night. Starting around noon yesterday I began feeling very nauseous and it lasted all day and night. I feel sick as a dog again today. I would rather go thru labor all day then feel this debilitating nausea.

She wakes up during the night having coughing fits, she coughs to the point of tears sometimes, and on top of that, she will randomly vomit. At times the vomit accompanies the coughing, and just yesterday she threw up the most she's done up to this point, looking like stomach acid and mucus, no food involved, without coughing. She had a fever for one or two days a couple weeks ago (weeks after the coughing began). It's a little worrisome actually, so any help would be appreciated.

Went for morning walk and afterwards fed him breakfast. Within 2-3 minutes of finishing his food he began vomitting. After 3-4 times, vomit was mostly mucus. Then diarrhea started. Very violent and liquid. He became very lethargic and was whining. Took him to vet within 20 minutes. Heart rate was very low (30 bpm). Initial diagnosis was possible Addison's crisis. Test was negative and administered injection which brought heart rate to normal. All bloodwork is normal except for amylase.

My dog Parker starting vomiting last weekend. He had no appetite for food or water for over 24hrs. Brought him to the local vet hospital, we are in Montreal, Canada. The xrays showed dilated intestines so they suspected he had swallowed a foreign object. He was already starting to show signs of dehydration. Parker has never been prone to swallowing things, but the vet suggested surgery to ensure nothing was blocked. It was done under emergency and nothing was found.

I've had my dog for about a week and I've been feeding her dry food and can food. The second night she threw it up, I figured she just ate too fast. I stopped with the can feed until a two days later when I gave it to her once then mixed it with her dry food (kibbles and bits). She started getting the runs. I figured it could be the can food so today (Saturday) I didn't give her the can food just dry mixed with water. She ate and a few minutes later went out and pooped.

-) My dog is over 13 (near as we can tell). She has always had a somewhat touchy digestive system for as long as we've had her. Every so often, she'd go through a few days of diarrhea and/or vomiting, but never lost her appetitie or energy. She's always been a "type-A" personality and interested in everything that happens around her. Four years ago she blew out her ACL and had TPLO surgery. Recovery went well and she was back on 4 legs again.

I have a male golden retriever, he is 11 years old and I'm extremely worried. My dog hasn't been eating properly for the past few weeks, he refuses to eat his normal food so we've been cooking him rice/eggs/meat/liver etc. Then after a while he doesn't eat himself unless we feed him by hands..and now he doesn't eat at all. Though he does eat some type of snacks. Now, he doesn't seem to have the energy to get up. He would try to get up but his legs seems to be weak or something.

Never had any health issues other than ear infections. On Monday he started vomiting every once in awhile; usually clear mucus with red or brown specks in it. He went on a walk, was fine. Then suddenly on Tuesday, he looked like he felt bad, stopped eating, and throws up every time he stands. Now the vomit is darker in color almost black, with dark specks. I took him to vet and they said that he has an infection but could not determine what was the cause.

Some people say it's because they want to make themselves vomit. But I have seen dogs happily eat grass without vomiting (or any nasty experiences from the opposite end) Also it's suggested they do it because they need extra fibre. But if you are feeding them a perfectly balanced dog food with sufficient fibre, and also they get some vegetables with their meal, then can that be true? It's not always sick dogs that do this. Many healthy ones do it too.

or anything that doesn't automatically get better within 24 hours needs veterinary attention. The skill is in knowing your dog. What signs mean your dog is ill? What signs mean your dog has just had a bit of an upset, and will be just fine after a night's sleep...? You have to use your instincts and your wits.

She got to feeling better about a week after we had some meds in her system. We dealt with mucus in her stool and vomit every 3 weeks or so. She is on a compound steriod that she drinks because she can't take prednisone. It makes her really ill too. We have not given her allergy shots since November.

Vomiting will not help with suboxone since it's absorbed through the mucus membranes of the mouth. 1 mg is a HUGE dose for a 10 lb dog, and a dam big dose for an opiate-naive human. Call your regular vet clinic. There should be an outgoing message instructing you what to do in an emergency. THIS IS AN EMERGENCY so please do it now!

my 7yr old pitbull lost apetite for 3 months now he coudnt drink, he chills cant breath well , mucus vowel and vomit yellowish and most of the time color brown and his balls is redish watery and its like peeling... the vet said those are only symptoms it can be his intestine or lungs or heart cause his illness the vet also said theres a water in his stomach and my dog is 50/50 and needs to take blood test...

Im so sorry to hear about your dog getting sick. I have had my first battle with Cdiff and I am still in the healing stage.It is very sad how much the Drs dont tell you or they dont know. I usto work in the hospital and so did my mother for years and neither of us knew just how bad this bug is and that you dont even have to be in a nursing home to get it. Why there isnt a warning or suggestions for probiotics to take with the Flagyl antibiotic Is dumbfounding to me.

Please, do not guess or hesitate, any longer....The shortness of breath is serious/along with the vomiting.....The mucus is coming from her lungs...It sounds as if she's suffocating! This would be an awful death for her....You must seek treatment immediately & not let her suffer any longer....I hope it all works out...Bless her heart...

Won't eat anything else, cries all day long, vomited 4 times so far (vomited up the motrin I just tried giving her). Medications are very hard to give to her, as she gags and vomits, and refuses to take it. I took her to doc today and he gave me antibiotics and said she has a lung infection. The cough is keeping her awake tonight. They want to see her tomorrow to see if she has lost weight (for dehydration). I am a first time mom and have delt with many challenges having a preemie.

I have an 8 yr old Boxer, 4 days ago, he was playing ball, going on walks, etc, suddenly he has stopped eating, been vomiting clear mucus with red or brown specks in it, won't even get up when anyone comes in door. He has never had any health issues. I took him to the vet and was told he has some kind of infection (but no idea why or from what), he has a high white blood cell count, but that was the entire explanation.

When I'd drink a coke, it would totally foam up in my stomach and mix with the slime and I'd cough a couple of times then it would come flying out of my mouth in a huge slimy, foamy vomit cluster (try dealing with this in the car!! I always keep a box of Kleenex around!!) I do feel 100% better immediately when it comes out though. Like the world has been lifted off my shoulders.

Hi Joe & welcome.....Has your dog ever done well on any particular food? Do you remember that maybe even one time he seemed to do better than usual? Do you remember what food it was? Although I am a fan of grain-free, in dogs with sensitive digestive systems, I have found that some brands are too rich & DO cause longterm digestive upsets.....What other brands have you tried? Any? Have you tried just a bland diet of chicken & rice for any length of time? Did he do better on it?
