My dog, Earl, has been throwing up bile some mornings and it’s getting worse. I know it’s bilious vomiting syndrome and we already talked to the vet about it and she just said to feed him more often, which we did, but it’s still getting worse. Not only that, but his appetite is decreasing. He’s outright refusing to eat now so I’m guessing his stomach doesn’t feel good. What type of food would help the acidity and make him want to eat again? High fiber? Low fat?

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Earl. I would actually recommend that he sees his veterinarian. While bilious vomiting syndrome can cause vomiting in the early morning or after periods of extended fasting, appetite level is not commonly affected. Therefore, I suspect something else is causing his current episodes of vomiting. Based on his exam findings, diagnostic testing may be recommended. He could also possibly benefit from a prescription low fat diet. These are highly digestible diets that are easy on the gastrointestinal system. I hope this information helps!
