My dog is throwing up tennis ball pieces. Should I see an ER vet?

Since this has been going on, I would recommend that she is seen by your vet as soon as possible. Vomiting could mean that she does have an obstruction causing her nausea and pain. An obstruction can be intermittent, and leaving her untreated could turn into an emergency if the foreign material abrades or perforates her GI tract somewhere.

Blood in the vomit is definitely cause for concern, as it can indicate stomach ulcers, stomach parasites, or even a foreign body. As puppies are prone to getting into things they shouldn't, Simba may have ingested a toxin such as human pain medication or a piece of a toy. It is concerning that Simba did not feel well after vomiting. I recommend having him seen by a vet as vomiting blood can be a sign of a serious underlying condition. Your vet can perform bloodwork and x-rays to rule out the conditions above.

My concern is that Axel has ingested a foreign object ( ball ) that could be potentially causing an obstruction. I hope this is not the case, he could have just some gastritis from the inflammation caused by the ball pieces. However, the presence of a potential foreign object in his tummy needs to be ruled out via a check up and x rays or other imaging, as it can be life threatening. Furthermore the vomiting will persist until the primary cause is addressed. While you search for a vet that can see Axel , offer him small amounts of water frequently , try not to let him drink a lot of water in one go as this will increase the chances of him being sick.

If this was an isolated incident, I would just monitor Simba unless you are concerned he ingested a foreign object. If he refuses to eat his next meal or continues to vomit, you need to follow up with your veterinarian for an exam and discuss bloodwork and x-rays.

Poor Simba! It sounds like he definitely has an upset stomach. You can try withholding food for the next 12 hours to give his stomach a chance to settle, then feed a bland diet of plain boiled chicken and rice for the next few days until things are back to normal. If this doesn't help, or if he continues to vomit or is acting lethargic or not wanting to eat, then it would be best to have him seen by a vet as these can be signs of a more serious problem.

It sounds as Enzo 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 urgently as vomiting blood is a serious symptom, 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.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Vomiting and inappetence can occur from many conditions such as foreign body ingestion and obstruction, pancreatitis, gastroenteritis, dietary indiscretion, among other possibilities. I am concerned that he could be showing signs of an obstruction which is something that requires therapy which sometimes includes surgery. I recommend that you have Jager evaluated by a veterinarian at this point for further assessment and treatment. This will likely require bloodwork and abdominal imaging in terms of diagnostics. Treatment would be based on findings. At the very least your veterinarian could start him on medications to make him feel better. In the meantime, keep water available at all times to try to prevent dehydration. Good luck and have a good night!
