Question
My dog Molly is about 5 0r 6 years old. We adopted her from our county pet shelter. We have no info on her life before us.  
She is throwing up yellow liquid before she gets up in the morning. It's not alot, but she is doing it more frequently. Have any Ideas?

Answer
Hi Annette!  Molly is vomiting bile.  This is very common.  Vomiting bile means that the tummy is empty!
How often do you feed Molly?  I have a Shih Tzu that used to do this too.  I fed him once in the morning and once in the evening.  I started giving him a treat before bed, and that stopped the morning vomit.
A little snack at night will hold that tummy over until breakfast. I hope this helps!
