Common Questions and Answers about Vomiting mucus in dogs

vomiting

Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar n tn Bile is usually green or yellow, in our dogs experiences. If it was white and foamy, it could be frothy mucus...hard to really say. If it was a one time thing, just watch him carefully for other signs of distress such as abnormal panting, unusual behaviors such as rolling repeatedly or getting into the "praying" position often, diarrhea, not eating, or if he seems to be biting or bothering at his flanks, or tummy bloating.
1407641 tn?1281375294 Good show! This type of gastritis in young dogs is very common. The first action to take with short onset vomiting is to "rest" the GI tract by withholding food for 12 - 24 hours. This is also an inexpensive diagnostic test. Most dogs will improve as whatever debris or mildly toxic material pass from their GI tract. Those that don't, need veterinary attention.
Avatar f tn Since she IS staying at the vet I think her chances for recovery are quite good. Damage to organs from the dehydration caused by constant vomiting is what normally ends up doing them in, so as long as this is controlled and fluids are administered to prevent dehydration, the inflammation usually subsides a couple of days into the treatment and things begin to improve. Did the vet give you any kind of clue as to what type of bacteria is causing the enteritis?
Avatar f tn my 3 yr. old female chihuahua started vomiting up a thick white mucus n then a little later a greenish liquid. she has not been in a kennel or around other dogs except for our other 3 chis. which seem to be fine. should i take her to the vet? very worried..
4487133 tn?1355332064 Yes this does seem like a Bully thing! lol. I am just taking her to the vet again tomorrow. I'm sure he will check for GI infection, but her poop is fine ( no diarrhea or constipation or mucus/blood in poop) so I don't know the chances of that being the cause. She also acts fine, she has never acted sick or anything. It's just so frustrating, she throws up every day and about every other morning I have to wash her bed and blanket because she threw up some time during the night too.
Avatar n tn My dog is vomiting. I have a prescription for Ondansetron . It is 4 MG. Can I give it to my dog? He is 13 and weighs 7.9 lbs.
Avatar m tn It is not that uncommon for dogs to vomit yellow bile, which is usually a sign of an upset or empty stomach. Dogs will often graze on grass then throw up to help relieve an upset stomach. This can often be remedied by feeding smaller meals more frequently but not more food. Have you changed foods recently? This could be something more serious, of course. Any chance your dog may have ingested something in the house or outside?
Avatar f tn My jack russell terrier was in acute kidney failure last month and is now in chronic. Her blood work, off the charts in some areas, has normalised but her urine showed high protein and she has high blood pressure; she is taking enalapril for both of these. She is on Hills KD and has shown improvement in weight gain, appetite, zest for life, her coat looks fantastic. But I can't seem to control her vomiting for more than a few days.
Avatar n tn 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. She has never had this problem before, no allergies that we know of, all vaccinations are up to date. Shes not currently in school, so the only germs she is around are the ones that I also am.
Avatar n tn Yes, it's not always a sign they are unwell or anything like that. I too, feel that dogs just like to eat grass sometimes! I really do think it's as simple as that. I know there are times when, if a dog feels a little "yucky" it will eat grass. That, I think is similar to the times when a Human may feel a little sluggish internally, and eat a fresh apple, and feel much better afterwards. There are some dogs who vomit after eating grass.
Avatar m tn Post-nasal drip (PND) occurs when excessive mucus is produced by the sinuses. The excess mucus accumulates in the throat or back of the nose. It can be caused by rhinitis, sinusitis, or laryngopharyngeal acid reflux. It can be enhanced or sometimes even caused by allergies. Pls check out with an ENT specialist if you are having chronic sinusitis. If you have chronic sinusitis then it can lead to continuous production of mucus and less drainage leading to post nasal drip.
Avatar f tn I'm more concerned about the color of the stool. Light stools indicate a lack of bile, which gives poop its brown color. This situation is a little reminiscent of what happened to my first dog after eating one pork rib bone. He got pancreatitis and it was fatal. Of course, my dog was very old when that happened and his pancreas was probably already twitchy anyway and the bone and fat was just the last straw. It's something you need to be aware of though for future reference.
Avatar n tn You also want to watch for him going through the motions of vomiting without producing any vomit. If you see him doing this, put him in the car and head for the nearest vet. If it's during the night, head for the emergency vet. This action could mean that he is bloating, and that because of the large amount of food in it, his stomach has flipped over on itself and has choked off the entrance and exit to the stomach.
Avatar n tn Sometimes dogs will produce large amounts of acid if they go too long in between meals. While this is more common in bulldogs, it can happen in any breed. It sounds like this is what is happening with your lab. You can apply a quick fix to this by feeding him a biscuit or two very late at night. This should keep his hunger down and the acid in his stomach to a minimum until breakfast.
Avatar f tn Sorry, meant to add, obviously the vomiting and diarrhea are probably secondary symptoms, which means she is picking this infection up from something in the immediate environment. That means something in your home, your garden/backyard area, other dogs or other people that she comes into contact with, or her food or treats fed regularly. If you have changed food, try looking at other things she eats (treats) as a first priority.
Avatar n tn It still would be a good idea to have her checked over by a vet. Vomiting large amounts of mucus, unexplained neck swelling, loss of appetite, and lethargy are all symptoms which need proper attention. Yes, sometimes dogs have an upset, then get better of their own accord, and we are glad we didn't panic (and run up a bill at the vet's office!) Sometimes that happens. But it is a fine line to balance. In my opinion, anything that is pretty dramatic, of sudden occurrence, or worsening.
675347 tn?1365460645 interesting ....I just saw it in dogs that hadnt eaten their dinner or hadnt been fed, my dogs also threw up after eating grass so again if they were feeling Nauseus it was to make themsleves throw up....LOL if you get my drift..
Avatar n tn Has anyone experienced severe vomiting and diaherra around 26 weeks? I'm not able to keep anything down.
1086217 tn?1256696089 my 3 yr old shih tzu vomits yellow bile at times, i give him pepcid at times, i cook noodles with chicken,i make sure that he eats at night,but he still vomits in the morning, i feed him with Nutrish by rachel ray. the vet says that all bld works were all normal. they also ruled out pancretitis. the vet said that i shld try pumpkin to put in his kibbles, but he didn't like it, right now , i'm giving him pepcid everyday. is there any suggestions ?
Avatar f tn superintendant always let her three dogs out with no leashes. they attacked my cat. he was traumatized. since yesterday he is vomiting;alot or a little. i can't afford veterinary care.what can i do. is his vomiting caused by attack,i haven't seen no major injuries.
Avatar f tn Good suggestion. I will ask to have him checked for tick born diseases and parasites as well. We have thought about poisoning but can't think of what that could be. There is nothing in our yard, we checked, and we dont' live in a neighborhood where anyone would throw something over the wall. He also doesn't take "treats" from strangers. He is fed food that I cook for him. It was organic chicken, brown rice and carrots and some organic kibbles.
Avatar f tn Exposure to air while driving causes a continuous clearing of throat and mucus. Last week it seems to be getting worst as i find myself coughing for no reason, pain in my throat, vomiting and shortness of breath some times with a bout of hot flash.. I now have to travel with a bottle of water. Everything does not subside until i clear my throat fully of mucus. During this time, i cannot speak until i clear my throat.
Avatar m tn sometimes caughing makes the mucus worse for me, or hot or cold air. I have mild asthma and when the excess mucus comes I use my rescue inhaler, which sometimes takes about 5 minutes to work. Its very scary when it happens and it sometimes seems to come out of nowhere, although I do think it is some sort of an allergic responce as it has happened to me while doing yard work in the heat. It also seems to be aggravated by fresh cut grass.
