Why is my dog throwing up and peeing so much? What's going on?

Chronic vomiting, has multiple causes but may cause an electrolyte imbalance which could account for the symptoms you are seeing. If he is drinking more water than usual, he should be seen by your vet for an exam and bloodwork to rule out kidney disease, diabetes or other GI issues. When a pet is vomiting, withhold food for 12-24 hours. Allow small amounts of water or unflavored PediaLyte. Resume feeding a bland diet (1:1 ratio of plain boiled boneless chicken and plain white rice). Feed in small, frequent amounts waiting at least one hour between feedings. If he won't eat, serve the food warm or mix in a teaspoon of baby food to stimulate the appetite. If the vomiting stops, transition slowly to the regular diet. If not or if the appetite does not return, then you will need to see your veterinarian.

Poor girl. She may have a urinary tract infection that has been going on for a while so now it is making her ill. Other possible causes of general illness in an older pet are: a closed pyometra (spontaneous infected uterus), or organ malfunction (liver, kidneys, etc). I would highly recommend taking her in to your vet right away for testing (urinalysis +/- bloodwork), to determine what the underlying problem is so that we know how best to treat her. Until you can get her seen you can try feeding her small amounts of boiled plain chicken and rice or slightly warmed cans of baby food to provide her some nutrition. I hope that your pet Poppy feels better soon. Take care.

This behavior is very common with UTI, but could also be caused by urinary bladder stones, kidney disease, and a few other things. I would recommend that you have Ruby examined by a vet. A urinalysis and x-rays of the bladder to check for stones are the first step.

I'm sorry to hear that Dakota is sick! Poor girl! I'm very concerned that she has vomited a blood clot and is having a hard time eating and urinating. Dakota needs to see a veterinarian right away to have these issues addressed. A blood clot in the vomit can indicate a severe GI ulcer or toxin exposure and subsequent bleeding. If she is unable to urinate she may have a severe UTI, bladder stone, or kidney infection. All of the above conditions require veterinary medical care. It is likely that Dakota may need blood work and a urinalysis to find out what the underlying cause is. She may need fluids and antibiotics in addition to other support care. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach and I'm hoping Dakota gets the care she needs and is on the mend soon!

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Serenity. You did the right thing by taking her into the vet when this first started. This behavior is concerning, and you may be right that there is something else going on. I'd take her back into the vet for bloodwork and a urinalysis. Call the vet tomorrow to make her an appointment. I hope this helps!

It is definitely an odd finding for the urine to be green in a dog and would actually be more suggestive of severe muscle or kidney injury. If this were a reptile or bird with green urine then I would be more suspicious of liver disease. I'm actually suspicious that the green frothy substance was bile-tinged vomit rather than urine. They can have vomit that looks like this when they are vomiting profusely and on an empty stomach. Either way, this is not a condition that I would wait on much longer. It's best if you can take your dog to an emergency vet as soon as possible. They will be able to have a better understanding of her condition and can at-least give some treatment to make her feel better. If you would like to discuss this more, you may consider having an online consult with one of our Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach Experts. I hope that helps and she feels better soon.

If Lillie is in that much distress I would seek out another veterinarian that is available, or an emergency clinic in your area, especially if she is heavily panting, painful, or unable to keep anything down. Be sure to let the new vet know what tests have been done, medications tried (and that they aren't helping) and any other symptoms you are seeing/for how long.
