My dog heaves after eating, no vomit, just mucus. Should I call vet?

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Marla. If she vomits up the breakfast she ate, becomes lethargic or develops blood in the stool or vomit, then I recommend you seek emergency veterinary care today. This is assuming that she is otherwise healthy. I hope this information helps!

If Mack has a habit of eating things that are not food, that could be causing the coughing, gagging, and vomiting. He may have eaten something that has upset his stomach. I do think he needs to see a vet for this, and I think it would be best if you take him into the vet first thing in the morning. X-rays are a good idea to see if there is anything in his stomach that could be causing this. I hope this helps!

It sounds like Maximus may have a respiratory infection such as kennel cough, which often causes coughing and gagging without anything coming up. Or, he could be feeling nauseous and trying to vomit - if his stomach is empty, sometimes this gagging can be non-productive. If he is acting normal otherwise and this problem just started today, you can try withholding food for the rest of the day and offering a small amount of plain boiled chicken and rice this evening to help settle his stomach. If this doesn't help, or if he continues to have repeated episodes of coughing or gagging throughout the day, then I would recommend having him examined by a vet - he/she can determine whether Maximus has a respiratory infection or a stomach problem and get him started on appropriate medication to treat it.

Poor George! If he's eating and drinking, isn't having trouble breathing, and is otherwise acting normally, this can wait until the morning. Should he not be eating or drinking, has trouble breathing, and/or is very lethargic, take him into an ER vet right away. Best of luck.

It sounds like Biggy (love his name!) is nauseous and may be dry heaving. This sounds most like an intestinal issue to me, but take a quick look in the roof of his mouth to make sure there isn't a toy or stick stuck there. He could have a foreign body, a functional or mechanical blockage, irritation from intestinal worms or eating some different/bad, stress, toxin, or other issue. If he looks like he's trying to throw up and nothing happens, I would recommend taking him an emergency clinic for an exam and x-rays. If he's not retching and he's eating, it may not be an emergency, but I would want him to be evaluated first thing on Tuesday. Any change in appetite, vomiting or trying to vomit, diarrhea, or lethargy means he needs to go sooner. I hope Biggy is back to normal soon!

It could be Misha is feeling a bit nauseous. I'd keep an eye on her tonight. If this behavior continues tomorrow, she starts vomiting, has diarrhea, has a loss of appetite, or is lethargic, take her into the closest vet to you.

Drooling and dry heaving are both signs of nausea in dogs. It sounds as Ace is suffering from a gastrointestinal condition, possibly an infection. it could also be due to ingestion of a foreign body material. i would recommend taking him to the vet the first chance you get, he will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection he will need an anti nausea injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better.
