Puking up Yellowish bile (old post) - Page 4

Here it is.  Nothing too major, i am just not a fan of giving medication just to treat a symtom and not the issue.  
There have been occasional reports of changes in behavior and mental states. 
Dogs and cats: Signs of neurotoxicity may occur in both dogs and cats at therapeutic levels. These signs usually will resolve within a few days of discontinuing the metoclopramide. Diphenhydramine may help reduce movement disorders, such as twisting movements of the face, neck, trunk or limbs, as well as CNS depression, nervousness,

Good morning.    Interesting:  although I've had Metoclopramide once myself, for nausea,  I haven't come
across it being prescribed to animals, although my knowledge about veterinary drugs isn't all-encompassing !
Can see why it could be prescribed for dogs as an anti-emetic.

It seems to be quite a sensitive drug that interacts with several others, although sometimes the intereaction
is to increase the effects, and sometimes to decrease them.  There is a potential problem in humans, much
as you described: spasms of the head and neck particularly, but this seems more or less confined to the
young, not very serious, and pretty rare.  So overall, like you said, not really major worries.

How is Rose now, has she thrown up this morning ?

(My boy just chucked his whole breakfast today - but I'm pretty sure that is down to my having wormed him
yesterday ...) 

Ewww, isn't it fun to clean up?  So far ok.  

(Today, my joy is having 2 six month old puppies testing me and my patience )

Sorry for answering late...you can get fresh dandilions at the salad bar in your grocery store, if you are lucky. Otherwise, you can get dried dandilions from an herbal/natural store and boil them up like tea, let cool down and water the food with it.
Bile can be yellowish/brownish/greenish, that's normal.
Instead of pepsid you could also use apple cider vinegar (one table spoon in the morning, not more), but dogs usually hate it.

No, worms would also show in stool and with itchiness.

Does your dog chew on anything (toy, carpet etc)?

She chews mostly on beef bones and rawhides.  Her vomiting is not a frequent as it was a week ago.  I have to go to Dallas and Chicago next week.  I will hunt down some dandilions there; I can usually find them at Central Market or Whole Foods.

Thank you

Have you had her bloodwork checked for liver/kidney function levels? The bile can be a symptom for issues there.

Ohhh...rawhides! Leave them away! Rawhides can contain lots of bleaching chemicals. I am almost certain that that is the reason for the puking! Here is a link with more info, but if you want to google "chemicals in rawhide" you will find lots.

I agree with taking away the rawhides. From my readings they are nothing but crap wrapped in poison from China.

hmmm.  did not know that about raw hides.  thank you for the info.  tossed them all out tonight.
