skwo2 Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 I found that Chelsea has been vomitting yellow fluid out, and it is usually a day or 2 after she has the monthly worming tablet. I used Spectrum Interceptor for 4 - 11 kg, and Chelsea is about 5.2 kg. I am not sure if it is related to the tablet or just a conincidence. It has happened this month, last month, and the month before. The stuff she vomit out is just yellow fluid, no solid stuff. Has anyone has this problem?

Her Majesty Dogmad Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 I'd go to the vet and check it out, sounds like bile which wouldn't be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Anne~ Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 The bile is only because the stomach is empty. If the dog is not showing any other symptoms and is not still vomitting it might make it hard for the Vet to diagnose anything. It might be best having it checked regardless though even just for your piece of mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentbear Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 We have often biled dogs out and use salt and honey into a ball and chilled then pushed down dogs throat. However usually if a dog needs biling they like to eat grass, some graze away like a cow. However it may pay to change your worm pill just to see what happens. I like to give my dogs some weetbix and milk before worming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peigirl Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 I say its the wormer. I have a frequent vomitter who normal vomits the morning after a wormer or heart wormer - yellow bile vomit. Too much of a coincidence if it happens after every time you worm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vic2010 Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Some worming tablets require it to be given when the dog has a full stomach. I would check the instructions again just to make sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rappie Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 The parts of Sentinel that cover intestinal worms are not systemically absorbed, so they kill parasites by passing through the intetines and causing their effects locally. This does mean that they sometimes act as an irritant and cause vomiting. If you're only seeing it after dosing with Sentinel, then I would say that it is related. You can mix Sentinel in food if you need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skwo2 Posted August 17, 2007 Author Share Posted August 17, 2007 I give Chelsea the whole tablet. Yes, Chelsea like to eat grass and graze like a cow when I took her out for walks.(There is no lawn in my place) So what does that mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rappie Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 My mistake - serves me right for doing too many things at once (eating lunch at work, while posting, answering the phone, researching and writing records, lol). Interceptor Spectrum still contains praziquantel which covers tapeworm, just not lufenuron for fleas. May not be related to this situation at all, but is commonly why dogs vomit Drontal etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before Sentinel became 'Spectrum' I used to give Drontal every few months and the dogs always vomited. They've never vomited since they've been on Sentinel Spectrum though.

peigirl Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Mine vomits the following morning after Drontal or Proheart given the night before with dinner. He has eosinophilic ibd so in his case he is very sensitive and I attribute the reaction to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poodlefan Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 I give Chelsea the whole tablet. Next time give her half Skwo. At 5.2kg, a whole tablet is double the dose she needs. Provided you keep her weight no greater than 5.5kg, half a tablet will be a correct dose. If she get's heavier, give her 3/4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoobyDoo Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Without disputing any of the good advice already posted. We had a dear little female Shihtzu, Jess, who threw up yellow bile her entire 15 years, off and on. EVERY time she visited the vet, we asked about the problem, with no advice forthcoming. I believe, however, it had a lot to do with diet. This is something I have recently twigged onto, because our current male Shihtzu has a vomiting problem also, but not the same. But comparing the two, I truly believe, simply because Jess used to eat, as well as her dog food, everything we ate. Curry and chilli meals were her favourite. I mean that would make any self-respecting dog sick. Reflux - that is the answer. Keep the diet, low-fat, low spice, low salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogcop Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Adding to scooby's our Shih's also vomit yellow if they have been hanging on too long has predominantly been our cause. they also enjoy the curries etc Cheers Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
