My recently adopted dog is throwing up. Is it stress or heat cycle?

Congrats on your new kitty. She does sounds a bit stressed, and moving into a new home is stressful. It's good that she is eating the food Pea got at the shelter, and the vomiting could have been caused by a change in diet if you were feeding her something different before. If she's not eating a lot, then she won't be pooping a lot. Reading your post, there aren't any huge concerns, so I'd just keep an eye on her for now. Eventually have her seen by a vet for a health check, even if everything is ok. I hope this helps!

Poor Sasha! Vomiting up blood is worrisome. She may have a stomach ulcer causing this or worse yet some type of bleeding disorder. The shelters do their best to assess pet health with what limited funds they have but underlying disease can go undetected. Huskies are also known to be quite anxious and the stress of the move could have caused a stomach ulcer. However, I would air on the side of caution here and take her into the vet right away for a full physical examination to determine what the underlining cause is. It is good that she is eating and drinking OK and stable for now. But we want to make sure to get her treated now and not let things get any worse.

It sounds as Jackson 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 vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better.

Hi there! I'm so sorry to hear about Kylo's issues. He could definitely have a little bug from the shelter. In addition if dogs are eating things that they shouldn't, they can get an upset stomach for sure. This can definitely last for a few days. I'd be concerned if it continues and have Kylo examined by a veterinarian. The vet can make sure he doesn't need any medications for his stomach or any diagnostics like Xrays or lab work.

Diarrhea and throwing up can be caused by a food sensitivity, dietary indiscretion, intestinal parasites, an intestinal blockage, bacterial infection, viral infection, the weather, food change, stress, etc.  I would fast Olive Oyl for 24 hours and then put her on bland food for two days, such as boiled white rice and boiled white boneless chicken meat, fed in small quantities over several feeds and then transition back to regular food slowly over a few days. If this does not clear up the diarrhea or if the vomiting increases, or if your dog gets lethargic, she needs to see a veterinarian for an exam as there may be something more serious such as an infection going on. Licking her feet excessively can point to an allergy.

If the energy level is normal for this kitten and he is acting otherwise fine, I would continue to monitor and maybe syringe feed some water if he is not drinking enough to help prevent dehydration. If he is lethargic and continues to vomit, then I would take him in to be looked at by a veterinarian so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Thank you for submitting your question. I recommend that your parent's dog is seen by a veterinarian. It is always a good idea to have an exam when a new pet is brought home. Hopefully this is just an adjustment period for her, but it is important to determine if she is ill or not. If she is healthy, then maybe playdates with your dog with help her to settle into her new home. I hope this information helps!
