Vomiting

Post by Lady Krimson »

Will a dog vomit if he or she does not get his or her way?

Heh, sorry. Sometimes, before meal time (morning or night), my dog will throw up this yellow foamy stuff and then she is just fine. There are no other symptoms and no warning before it happens; however, about an hour before meal time, she will be very pesty.

So, do dogs use vomit to make a statement? I am disputing this with my partner.

That sounds like what dogs do when their tummy is empty, what times do you feed her?

Dogs do bring this sort of thing up when hungry, I have had several who do this.

Yes, that is bile. Try feeding her an hour earlier, and give her some vegetables too.

Dogs don't throw up as a statement, but sometimes will if extremely stressed. This sounds like empty tummy, not stress.
