Yellow Bile

[sesar]

Hey everyone!

so my Kobe has had this problem since he was little, though it has become more frequent. In mornings he will sometimes wake up suddenly and throw up a little bit of yellow bile. It used to happen every few weeks but recently it has happened several times a week. He seems to be fine afterward and is hungry for breakfast a few hours later. Has anyone experienced this before? I am hesitant to take him to the vet since they will recommend a bunch of test and I do not think he has worms or anything.

Thank you for your help

Yellow bile is pretty common as long as its not frequent. I find that when their stomachs are very empty, that bile can happen. Does your beag eat twice a day or once? 2 meals a day with a few treats in between keep my girls from having that issue too often. I call it "the yack".

He eats twice a day, once around 9 in the morning and then around 7 at night...maybe I should feed him later?

Or give him a small 3rd meal/snack.

I don't think you need to change the feeding time, I would just add a snack like techie suggested. Even if its a bit of kibble and some veggies....just something to keep his stomach settled.

My dog has done what you described then seemed ok afterwards. It hasn't happened lately.

I'll give the snack idea a try! Thank you for your help!
