Hi there, I’m just after some friendly advice please. My Dobi is just over 14 months old now and for as long as we’ve had him he quite frequently dry heaves and retches to the point that he has got everything up and throws up a very small pile of a frothy yellow liquid. It doesn’t bother him in any way he goes straight back to jumping around playing with our other dog.
Firstly does anyone know why he does this/what could be causing him to do this so often?
And secondly, is it something I should be worried about or is it quite a common thing? I haven’t ever worried about it as he’s always his crazy self so he’s not in any kind of pain or unhappy in anyway.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you 🙂

well it might not be what was wrong with my dog but he also did that and his was caused by a heart mermer not sure that’s how its spelled it doesn’t hurt I do not think but it like when they get to playing a lot makes there heart beat really fast will cause them to throw up fluid take him or her to vet and have it checked. I would so you a pic of my Teddy Bear but he has past.

We had an older dobe who did that ALL the time! The rescue league said it can be due to alot of acid in their stomach. We consulted our vet who told us to give her pepcid twice a day and it worked!

It could be allergies. I would try digestive probiotic powder and add organic whole fat plain Kefir. Add a tbsp. Try a grain free diet and give a little organic virgin Coconut oil. You can even throw a pinch of ginger powder to ginger tea in the food. Have to experiment to see what works.
Or you can ask this excellent animal communicator, psychic and medical intuitive, Shirley Scott from Oregon. She is the best and gives phones readings and is not expenisive. She helped my dog and 2 of my friends dogs.(541)-577-3051

What a beautiful dog. I would suggest you have your friend looked at by a vet. My best buddy started exhibiting that after suffering an allergic reaction at age 11. He got progressively worse, and while I didn’t notice for quite some time he was vomiting his food back up when outside and started losing weight. It became critical after two years and even though I tried Pepcid and anti histamines he continued to get worse until I took him to the vet who gave us no option other than invasive surgery. We couldn’t get a guarantee that the surgery would help and we made the heart breaking decision to not put him through that and eased his misery instead.
Had he been younger there would have been no question as to what I would have done for him, so I urge you to have a professional check your friend out. It could be a simple fix but if it’s not you don’t want their health to suffer to the point that that they won’t be able to stand the treatment if it’s more serious. Wishing you all the best -
First off, as the last poster said, have him checked by the vet.
I have had many dogs do this, and it seems to happen most often if their dinner has been delayed. I feed the dogs late at night, and I often give them each a large biscuit in the morning. Another poster mentioned stomach acid. I do not know if that’s the cause, but a biscuit seems to help settle their tummy. Good luck…he’s beautiful! 🙂
