My dog vomits once a week. Is this normal? Should I see a vet?

The answer depends on how often Prince is vomiting. All dogs vomit at times in their lives, but it's not normal if he is vomiting on a weekly or monthly basis. Should he be vomiting that frequently, then yes I would think it's necessary for him to see a vet. He could be suffering from a medical problem causing the vomiting, such as irritable bowel disease. I would have him seen by a vet sometime this week if possible.

I'm sorry to hear that Chalula has been vomiting so frequently. This is not normal and she will need to be seen by her veterinarian. Depending on her examination findings, she may need laboratory work and abdominal x-rays. If it doesn't appear as serious she might be able to be managed with some medications and perhaps a diet change. I hope you can get her seen soon so she can get back to her normal self. Good luck!

If Leo is vomiting 2-4x a week routinely I would be concerned because this is not normal for dogs. In the pictures you provided it looks like the food is not fully digested. I would be worried about gastritis, a blockage, or irritable bowel disease. My best recommendation is to take Leo to the vet so the issue can be sorted out. They may recommend lab work and x-rays. I hope they can figure out what is going on with Leo. Good luck!

Poor Rocky! If this has been going on for more than 1-2 days and he's also not eating, then yes - I would definitely recommend taking him to the vet, as these can be signs of a serious problem. Your veterinarian can do a fecal exam for parasites, and may recommend blood work or other testing if needed to help diagnose the problem so he can be started on appropriate treatment.

There are too many possibilities to name that cause dogs to vomit. However vomitting that many times in a week is abnormal. I would recommend that you have Sammie see her veterinarian to make sure she is ok. Some common causes of vomitting may be dietary indiscretion (or being fed table food) that can cause gastritis or pancreatitis. Some intestinal parasites may also cause vomiting, GI foreign bodies, food sensitivities are all things to consider. Hope Sammie feels better soon.

Hello. Vomiting off and on could be a problem with the diet (food allergy or a gastritis often seen with raw food or bones in the diet), or could be due to a problem in the kidneys/liver, or could be due to an obstruction (for example- if he ate a tennis ball and it is bouncing around in his stomach and intermittently blocking food from moving through). A dry nose while sleeping is normal, and the white stuff could be nothing. If there is a lot of discharge, and if it is yellow/green or continuous, or if Marshall is having issues breathing, then I would have him seen right away. Otherwise, I would try changing the diet to a good quality dog food, and also feed two meals a day, with a small snack right before bed. This may help with the vomiting. If the vomiting persists then x-rays are suggested. Good luck with Marshall.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Bentley. I do recommend that he sees a veterinarian. That is too much vomiting for a cat. He will likely need bloodwork to determine an underlying cause. Vomiting is a vague sign and can be related to many diseases. It is important to diagnose though so treatment can be started. Some disease can get worse if left untreated. I hope this information helps!
