Guest argolola Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Ok, I am freaking out just a little bit. Lola is used to eating several times a day in small doses. When I got home today, she threw up two little tiny piles of yellowish liquid. Since DH had the day off, I asked him if he had been feeding Lola all day and he said he forgot. Could lack of food cause this? She did eat a little grass earlier, but just had her supper and gobbled it down. Thanks...as always you GTers rock!

TheFullHouse Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Yep, she's hungry and needs something in her stomach. Lots of greys will vomit bile if they're hungry.

DustysMom Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Dusty did this every morning for awhile until I started to make sure he had something to eat (bread, biscuits) right before bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Luvgreys Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 One of our recent foster hounds would vomit a little bile every morning until we started giving her two large biscuits right before bed time. Apparently for her our feeding times were a little too far apart (we feed around 6:15 am and 5:15 pm). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sheila Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Yep. and not only greys do this! Yep! Even ppl do it. I'm bad about remembering to eat and when this happens I have become nauseous and gotten a little *pukey*. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IrskasMom Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Now this is really Interresting . I had no Idea . I will from now on feed in shorter Time span . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greysmom Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Yep. She needs something in her tummy. Even just a cookie or a small handful of kibble. Feeding more often in smaller doses should help with her pancreatitis too - not such a big "load" of food in her system all at once.

Guest Energy11 Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 In HER case, I'd say ... feed lots of smaller meals! Good Luck and Have a Happy, SAFE, HEALTHY, New Year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JillT Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 You may also want to watch her with the grass eating . . . Neither of my hounds have had pancreatitis, but they both went through a couple bouts with HGE and have always had "sensitive" stomachs. One of them used to graze grass like a goat, and my vet said I should definitely NOT let her eat grass. I do know that dogs will sometimes eat grass in cases of stomach ache/upset stomach (and, I think, sometimes just because they like it!), but I have to say that both of my hounds have done very well, stomach-wise, since I started making sure they don't eat grass. There seem to be mixed views about grass eating, but I thought I would at least pass this on as something to consider, since Lola was so sick recently . . .

Guest DunksMom Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Yup! I agree with splitting up meals. Dunkin' used to get up in the middle of the night and puke up a little bile. Our vet suggested breaking up his meals and he's been fine ever since. We feed at 6am, 5pm and 10. Some of these guys are hungrier than others... I think mine may be the hungriest of them all!
