Throw up

My 3 month old puppy had just thrown up brown liquid, do you know what this could mean?

Or is this okay? because this is the first time she's ever done it?



Hi Meagan
Vomiting can be due to something simple, such as your puppy eating something she shouldn't have (not usually an emergency unless the item/food she ate is toxic to dogs or could cause a intestinal obstruction.

However, it can also be one of the first symptoms of illness or disease. As your pup has vomited a 'brown liquid' I suggest that you call your veterinarian and discuss it with him/her.

This brown color could indicate that there's blood present in the vomit, this would need a vet's attention quickly.

Best of luck, hope your pup is feeling better soon.
