Answer
It’s hard to say without knowing more about the situation, but here are some questions your vet will probably have — and I do think you need to take Moses to the vet if he keeps throwing up.
- Have you changed his diet recently? In what way?
- How frequently does he throw up other than this? Is it really common, or very unusual?
- When he vomits, do you see anything in the vomit? Pieces of toys, remains of any weird food, plant matter?
- Has he gotten into anywhere he shouldn’t have been in the last few days, like the garbage can or the garage?
My dogs throw up all the time, but it’s usually because they chewed up a toy and ate it and then threw up the pieces or because they got into the trash and ate something spoiled. Those times, they throw up once and that’s it. Any vomiting that’s ongoing is dangerous because it could signify something serious. It can also lead to dehydration.
When it doubt, call your vet right away. They won’t charge you for a phone call, and that may be all you need to solve the problem.
I hope Moses feels better soon. Let me know what happens!
