My puppy threw up egg-like vomit, acting normal. Is it concerning?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 5 months and 19 days old | 10.6 lbs

I think my puppy just threw up and it looked like what the inside of a boiled egg looks like. She didn't make any sort of gagging noises I just saw it fall out of her mouth and it was the size of a dime. She hasn't eaten a boiled egg so idk where this came from. She has been acting completely normal since then so is it something I should be concerned about? She's drinking water as well her next feeding isn't until 7pm. She ate at 7am so is it just that she's hungry?

As long as Snowball is acting okay and does not continue to vomit, I would not worry too much. It is not unusual for puppies to vomit occasionally especially if it is been a long time since they've eaten. If Snowball becomes lethargic, develops diarrhea or continues to vomit, she should be seen by a veterinarian. Potential causes for vomiting besides that described above include parasites, eating something irritating to the intestinal tract, infections or metabolic issues such as liver and kidney problems.
