Vomiting Boxer

Question
I have a 14 month old petite female boxer. She has been vomiting frothy, bile like matter every couple of days for about 6 days.She has still maintained healthy eating habits ,and is still urinating and pooping regularly.Also she has been more than sufficiently treated for all parasites and viruses.We did recently change her food. Not the brand ,but the formula.Also we have done a lot of re-arranging of furniture recently. Could these be a reason why she has an upset tummy?

Answer
Julie -

I don't think that moving furniture would cause vomiting.  A change in food might cause stomach upset.  Have her retested for fecal parasites.  Often one series of treatment is not sufficient to completely eradicate intestinal parasites.

If she continues to vomit, I suggest that you have her examined by a veterinarian.  The veterinarian may also suggest radiographs or blood tests - both are valuable diagnostic tools and can help determine why your pup is vomiting.  Chromic vomiting is not good for the stomach or the esophagus; your vet can help you determine why your pet may be ill.
