My GSD, 4 months old, once and a while vomits bile in the morning. She just did it 2 mornings in a row. Usually when she vomit, she would vomit bile with a little bit of whatever she chewed on and swallowed before I could get her to drop it. Leaves, small sticks, etc. The last two morning, nothing in it. Temp. is fine and she eats breakfast an hour later with no problems. No change in diet, eats a mix of Nunova,raw ground beef, plain yogart and a small amount of raw carrot or mix greens. Still very active. Anyone ever have this problem before?
That used to happen to my pup in the morning. Never did figure out why. For him it usually happened if we walked before he ate. When I made sure to feed him before our walk he had no problems. Maybe that will work for your girl too.

We've had that problem with a couple of our dogs, including our current one. It's usually because their stomach is empty too long. You need to feed twice a day with a snack before bed - I feed Kasey 2/3 of his regular size meal at about 5:30pm and then I give him the other 1/3 at bedtime. He completely stopped doing the vomiting bile in the morning.

Yes, that would be my suggestion, too. Very common on this board, and so far, it seems that keeping the stomach from that stage of emptiness solves it.
I'd rather feed deep-chested breeds twice, anyway.
Agree with the twice a day as well. We had a Shepherd that lived through two bouts of bloat. After the second event he had surgery to help correct the problem.
Anyway... back on topic. We had two half brothers (brothers from another motha LOL) The oldest would do this a couple of times a year and always in the morning. The youngest, knock on wood, has not had any problems. FWIW, they used to eat the same food and the same time.

Thanks everyone...probably because of no food in the stomach for too long. I realize when I give her some treats closer to bed time, she doesn't do it.
