LovelyMutt is Sick as a Dog - help, advice, wisdom?

My 8 year LovelyMutt has been vomiting on and off since Sunday (3 or 4 times a day). Just biley frothy stuff but her dinner is not staying down - yuck. Apart from that she seems happy, lively and hungry Confused. She wants to eat and tells me she wants to play and go for walks. She hasn't eaten anything she shouldn't have that I know of.

Aagh, what's going on?

Pimmsdog did this a few weeks ago. He had eaten sand out of the sandpit and it had compacted in his stomach. A anti emetic injection and some probiotic paste daily and he was back to normal in a couple if days.

Thanks both Pimms and Mutt. You've reassured me a bit.

I haven't gone the vet route yet because she seems so well apart from the vom. I keep telling myself she's better and then we have another episode of upchuck. I think I'll go tomorrow if it's still happening

Our Lab did this when she had eaten the 'core' of a sweetcorn cob without chewing it. She eventually vomited it up but there was no way it would have made its way down inf you know what I mean...Sad

Was just coming on to post something similar - I've got a rottweiler, and he has randomly vomited bile, but not food, 4 or 5 times in the last two days. He's eating and toileting fine, so I'm not very concerned. I think I'll give him a couple of days and see if he settles
