Dog throwing up

13:27:55

Question
My black Lab has been throwing up almost everyday.  It is mainly in the morning before he has eaten.  Somebody told me that Labs to that quite frequently if they have an empty stomach as they produce alot of bile.  Is this true or could it be something different?

Answer
Hello Tina -

I have a few questions:

How long has he been vomitting on a daily basis?
What does his diet consist of?
Is there blood or mucous present in the vomit?
Is he a very excited dog?
Does he lick his fur alot and vomit "hair balls"?
Does he have dry skin?
Is he kept indoors for long hours during the winter months?

Please answer these questions, the best you can and I will get back to with a response.

Thanks
