My dog vomited pink and green after eating bones. Is this serious?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | neutered | 3 years and 1 month old | 19 lbs

My three-year-old schnorkie Jax vomited yesterday morning and this morning. Yesterday morning, the vomit was pinkish colored and had small white chunks and this morning it was green. This morning he did eat a breath-freshening mint treat (green) rather quickly. A few days ago he munched on the meat from both goat bones and ham bones and hadn't eaten kibble very well. However, last night, he ate kibble. Please let me know if this is serious or if he is trying to empty his upset stomach. Thanks!

It sounds like Jax may be suffering from either gastritis or even pancreatitis from goat and ham bones/ meat. Since this has been going on for over 24 hours I would encourage you to have him evaluated by your veterinarian as soon as possible. They may recommend an x-ray to look for an obstruction from the bones as well as blood work to see if he has pancreatitis. He will likely need anti nausea medications to help him improve. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.
