Guest smarthound Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Josie throws up water every day or two. I am taking her to the vet to have her checked out but I was wondering if anyone else has had this experience with their dogs. She is acting and eating normally. No food comes up, just water and a little white foam. She's the chewer in our house so I try to keep a close eye on her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahicks51 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Happens all the time 'round here when the dogs "discover" the water bowl and try to fill up... and up. Helps to break their concentration if they've been drinking too long. If there's no food coming up (which could indicate the onset of megaesophagus), I wouldn't be concerned at all.

Guest michael_roberts Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Star is a big fan of emptying the water bowl, and then racing down the spiral stairs. He never fails to urp up all the water on the floor at the bottom. He also has a little separation anxiety and will do this if he has just had a bunch of water and then realizes he is about to be left.

Guest ArtysPeople Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 "Cacking" is a great term for it. Happens here, too, and I've always just chalked it up to too much water too quickly. Please let us know if the vet says otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gretzky Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 The same thing might be happening here. Haven't actually witnessed anything but have found the evidence shortly after a trip outside, which is when the most water is consumed. It just started so we are keeping a close watch as well. Please let us know what the vet says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElizabethGPAPS Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Simon's been doing that for 10 years. I call it his "drinking problem". I don't worry about it...I just try not to step in his little warm slimy puddles in my socks.

Guest luckydog Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Put ice cubes in the water dish with a little bit of water in the bottom. The dog can still hydrate, but can't drink large amounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ss556 Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Alan, too, spits up water a lot of times. He just eats and drinks fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DundeeToddsMom Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Roxy Eve does it here too. Drinks too much water way to fast. I thought she was the only silly girly with this issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krissn333 Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Simon's been doing that for 10 years. I call it his "drinking problem". I don't worry about it...I just try not to step in his little warm slimy puddles in my socks. I have done that too many times to count, thanks to my little one. He just gets SO excited about EVERYTHING, including me filling the water bowl, that he gets himself all worked up and then drinks a whole bunch reallyreallyfast...and then, the *cack*...and then the puddle (it always seems like an awful lot for such a little guy too!)...he is just so excitable. The big kids do it on occasion, but it's usually after they've just come in from a play session outside and are all wound up as they're drinking.

Guest smarthound Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 It sounds like this is nothing to worry about. I'm monitoring Josie so see if there is a pattern. Guess I'll wait for the next vet visit to ask what causes this. Thanks for the input everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
