greytpups Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Bailey often vomits bile but has been vomiting her stomach contents about 8-9 hrs after eating. I know this is not a good sign. I've tried feeding her more often in case it was from hunger, I've tried raw instead of kibble, a mixture of raw and kibble, just chicken and pasta, and she still continues to throw up 2 x day about 8-9 hours after eating. She has been on a low dose (25mg) of Deramaxx daily to help ease the pain (she limps from a toe amputation on Oct 2008). I've taken her off the Deramaxx for 2 days to see if the vomiting stops but it hasn't. Does anyone have any suggestions? She's house trained to vomit outside so you know how often if occurs however, we work so we're not here when she vomits in the afternoon. I'm taking her to the vet tomorrow. She seems fine otherwise. I think she's drinking ok. She's at play group right now but I'll check for dehydration when they return. I'm really really really worried Quote Jan with precious pups Emmy (Stormin J Flag) and Simon (Nitro Si) and Abbey Field.

Guest scfilby Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 If she is throwing up stomach contents, I would assume that the cause is not hunger related. I am no where near an expert, hopefully the vet can help, but I would guess at either reflux, or another digestive issue. Have you tried feeding bland and in smaller portions? Bland (rice and boiled lean ground) in small portions (1 cup) three times a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KennelMom Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 How long has she been doing this? We had a foster that started vomiting stomach contents after eating as a first symptom to a partial intestinal blockage. That's my only experience with vomiting undigested food hours after eating it. I hope it's something simple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batmom Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 If it's the Deramaxx, can take a couple days for that effect to go away. Altho 25mg is a pretty small dose. I would insist on x-rays. As KennelMom indicates, you don't want to chance that she's somehow gotten a partial blockage. Sending prayers!

GreyPoopon Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Could be the Deramaxx. Could be a foreign body in her stomach or somewhere further down. Could be IBD. The main symptom of Minnie's IBD was vomiting, although we didn't realize what she had until she also ended up with recurring HGE. If it's inflammation, either due to Deramaxx or IBD, a couple of days isn't enough for it to subside. I agree a vet visit is a good idea. X-rays and blood work might be in order. If it's the Deramaxx, some stomach protection might fix her right up. I hope the cause is quickly found and easily remedied.

Burpdog Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Stop the deramaxx! It can cause perferation of the stomach. I'd get her on some stomach meds. Quote Diane & The Senior Gang Burpdog Biscuits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Energy11 Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I would also stop the Deramaxx, and start Pepcid AC, (*generic is fine) twice a day, and see the vet, to be sure there isn't anything really badly wrong. Good Luck with this. Hope Bailey feels better, soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xan Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 No advice, but definitely echoing the vet, xrays, ultrasound, whatever you can afford. Blood tests. Early diagnosis before too much damage might be done. Quote My Inspirations: Grey Pogo, borzoi Katie, Meep the cat, AND MY BELOVED DH!!!Missing Rowdy, Coco, Brilly, Happy and Wabi.

greysandmollie Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Jan... How long has it been going on for? In the past week I have had similar issues with 3 out of 4 dogs. Mollie and Dylan mostly but Cody a couple times. I think they are all past it but Mollie did it last night. I had tried Chicken and rice with the same results. I fasted them and tried again. I assumed it was some sort of a bug as it only lasted 36-48 hours. for Bailey Quote Donna and...Lucy and Chubb Rascal H 10/1/91-5/22/04 My best friend and Bounty Boon 1/23/99-6/25/07 My boy with the biggest heart Cody 7/28/99-8/1/13 My boy that always made me laugh and Dylan 5/12/04-12/29/2017 The sweetest boy ever Miss Mollie 1/1/99-1/30/15 and Pixie -10/10/2017 Lincoln -2/14/2021 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No rice or pasta for this girl...she spits it out. I'm cooking some chicken in the slow cooker for 24 hours, the bones turn to mush, then I add rice and veggies and I'll try this too. Hope she can keep this down. It's the length of time after she eats and throws up that concerns me. Quote Jan with precious pups Emmy (Stormin J Flag) and Simon (Nitro Si) and Abbey Field.

greytpups Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 (edited) Bailey spent the day at the vets. Poor girl had some pretty exlosive diarrhea and gas so she also has some acute gastroenteritis going on. Our vet took x-rays and there's not obstruction *whew*. Right now her intestines are pretty irritated so she's on meds and special hypo-allergetic food for the next few days. He thinks it could be a food allergy or IBD. We're waiting to see if the food helps...no throwing up yet today but we still have a few hours to go. She's lost 3-4 lbs but I imagine she'll gain it back once she starts eating again. When I walked into the vets last night to pick her up he saw me and yelled over it's good news, so I guess it could be much worse. She's doesn't have much of an appetite, Ben finally got to eat in peace last night, no sister looking over his shoulder waiting for him to finish so she can like his bowl Thanks for the all the prayers and wishes...geez, they sure warm they way into your heart and you never want them to hurt or be sick.
