Question
About two days ago, my dog has been vomiting a yellow, slimy substance early in the morning at about 6am.She also has diarhea.Can you help me??

Answer
Hi Angela :-)

A yellow coloured vomit is usually acid left over in your Dogs gullet which will cause him Heartburn. He is vomiting this up because he has no solid food in his tummy and this does happen unfortunately when he is constantly vomiting.

I would try giving your dog one teaspoon of Gaviscon. You can purchase this from your Pharmacist. Also give your Dog a mild diet to eat while he is vomiting..a scrambled egg or rice should be sufficent for this.

But because he has vomiting and diahreehea I would contact your vet as he may need antibiotics. This sounds like it may be a viral infection he has picked up.

Take care and all the best and please leave me a comment.
