My Shiba has recently started vomiting after being put back in his crate. I have let him out in the back yard (admittedly unattended), both last night after eating and this morning after awaking. Last night he came in and immediately vomited in his crate. I wasn't sure what to do so I cleaned it up and fed him again. As far as I know all was well through the night. This morning I let him out and when I put him back in his crate, he vomited again and proceeded to consume it. It didn't look abnormal, per se... no blood or anything obviously alarming.. Just looked like partially digested food. Anyway, my wife said he did this one time before.. a week or so ago. I wasn't really concerned until he did it again this morning. Any ideas?
Per usual, everyone is going to ask a ton of questions, before we can even come close to giving an unskilled answer.
How old is the dog?
What are you feeding the dog, what amounts, and at what times?
How long after eating is the dog vomiting?
What does the dog typically when it goes outside?
Is it vomiting or regurgitation?
Young dogs sometimes consume their food too fast, and then jump/run around too much, causing them to regurgitate their food to alleviate the pressue. Typically, they turn right back around and eat the vomit.
Some dogs also vomit on an empty stomach, but that doesn't sound like the case here.
If the dog will consume the vomit, that is usually a good sign that the dog isn't actually sick (virus/bacteria). That's not failsafe though.
Going back and reading your other post, which answered a few of my questions, it sounds to me like the dog is either A) not doing well on this food, or B) eating too fast.
Since it isn't happening every time he eats, I'd go with B.
Thanks everyone for your responses. I'm in agreement and that was the direction I was leaning as it seemed he really ate more than usual both of those times and a bit on the fast side. Those were the only changes about his diet, so I'll start regulating the amount of food more exactly and keeping him in his crate for a bit before letting him out (he's 3 years old, so should be no problem). It may be compounded by the fact he hasn't gotten as much exercise lately, so he may be extra bouncy when I let him out and with a full stomach it's making him queasy. I'll keep an eye on him and go from there. Thanks again!
