Vomiting?
Hello everyone!
I have recently been getting really worried about Penelope. Ever since I got her, she has been vomiting a few times a week, usually after she eats. Last night, she vomited after I gave her a treat, which was about 3 hours after eating dinner. Throughout the weeks that she's been vomiting, she hasn't been lethargic, or anything, just her normal self. Which is the main reason why I haven't been too worried about it. She's been on Purina Pro Plan puppy formula (Chicken and Rice) since we got her. I don't know if it's an allergy to her food, but I was thinking of changing it up and seeing how it worked out.
Her vomit always varies from undigested (plumpy round, that looks like it was soaked in water) to partially digested (tubular shaped mixed with plumpy round). Like I said, she's just her normal self before and after she vomits, so I don't know if it's anything serious. I don't think she has a blockage because she's been having normal bowel movements too.
Hope to hear some suggestions from you guys. Everyone on mycorgi is always really helpful! :)

Hm. Not sure. Does she eat really fast? Is she really gassy too? Maybe try one of those bowls that slows them down eating. Try to feed her less amounts more during the day. Or try to switch to different food. Are her bowel movements normal color and smell? (I know that's gross, but you can tell a lot). Is she peeing normally? I'd at least take her to the vet and let them help you sort it out...

She actually eats really slow. And she doesn't usually finish eating her breakfast, but finishes her dinner. She does tend to be gassy, and I can tell you, they are HORRIBLE, lol. I only feed her 1/2 cup in the morning and a full cup at night. Her bowel movements have been normal, formed and smell like they've always smelled. And she does pee normally. Basically, everything's been normal. Yeah, I'm gonna try to send her to the vet soon.

I would definitely take her to the Vet's office, as they will be able to examine her and determine the likely cause.
However, it is possible that she has an allergy. My aunt's dog used to throw up quite often and she eventually discovered that it was chicken that made him do so. It's also possible that she's eating too quickly, as Jennifer said. Yuki used to do that every now and then as a puppy and he'd throw it all back up within 30 minutes.
If you're worried she's not keeping enough down, then put her on a bland diet until you can get her into the Vet's office. Boil up some hamburger and rice and then feed it to her when it cools. Alternatively, you could use cottage cheese and rice. Definitely get her in to see the Veterinarian, though.

I would try wetting her food so it is softer and easier to digest. I would also check with the vet to make sure that she has been apropriately treated for worms. They can really throw a puppy for a loop and it is not unusual for there to be issues long after removal from mom and the liter.... Hang in and give your baby a hug!!! ^,,^

Potus was on the same food and was a vomiter as a pup (though typically because he ate something he shouldn't, like peg or bug). His vomit would be different depending on how long the food had had to digest. I would get her checked out though to put your mind at rest.

Her stomach may be irritated for some reason (gastritis) and the Vet can help with that. As for the gassiness, you may have to experiment with different food brands.. I add protein ( meat or hard boiled egg ) to my dog's evening meal. One of my dogs was very gassy 2 DAYS AFTER I fed egg. It took me awhile to figure it out, even the smallest amount would do that. Now, no more egg, no more problem.
