My puppy threw up after walk. Is it grass or does he need a vet?

Sonetimes dogs get a bit of a tummy upset called gastritis. It can be caused by eating something rancid or an infection. Sometimes they simply have too much acid. Eating grass is a sign the tummy is sore. He will likely be a little unsettled but if he is not continually vomiting I would let him rest overnight then take him to the vet in the morning g if he is still poorly. Don't feed anything At the moment.

There could be many things that are causing this in Loki. Less likely a foreign body especially since he bounces back right after vomiting. It can be viral related or just a gastrointestinal upset. We always are concerned about Parvo in an unvaccinated puppy since he is only 9 weeks but this is less likely if he is energetic and has no diarrhea. He can always have intestinal parasites especially in a young puppy. I would recommend a stool check, deworming, a bland diet and an antacid as long as everything else is ok.

It's hard to say. Some dogs will eat grass or leaves because their stomach hurts, as it often induces vomiting. Some dogs just like to eat these things and it doesn't cause any harm. I think it is worth discussing with your vet, especially if this is happening more than just occasionally.

Poor Ernie! I am worried he may have eaten something he shouldn't or got stung by something. I strongly recommend to take Ernie into the vey since he is small and constantly vomiting. He is at high risk for dehydration. Your vet will try to determine what is causing the vomiting and get him started on the proper meds to help him feel better. They will even be able to give him some fluids if he is already dehydrated. I hope this helps and he starts to feel better soon!

I am sorry Dozer threw up last night. Grass can definitely upset his stomach. I would make sure he doesn't eat anymore of it. As long as he is energetic and otherwise normal I wouldn't worry too much about a one time throw up. If this continues then I would recommend bringing him to a veterinarian.

I would let him do whatever he wants to without forcing him. Withhold food for the next 6-8 hours and then start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. I would definitively recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist or you notice diarrhea, more vomiting, lethargy or inappetence.

Hopefully, it is just dietary indiscretion but I am always concerned for intestinal obstruction in young dogs with projectile vomiting. If the vomiting continues follow up with your veterinarian to discuss abdominal x-rays.
