My dog is vomiting white sticky stuff, has diarrhea, and won't eat.

Updated on September 23, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Golden Retriever | Male | 11 months old | 73 lbs

My 111 months old golden retriever just vomited a white sticky stuff plus food. And the stool is bit fluid. He's not well since couple of weeks. He's not even eating his meals probably. Help me understand this! Do I really need to worry?

I'm sorry to hear Comet isn't feeling well. If he is not eating well, vomiting, and having diarrhea I would be concerned. I have 2 golden retrievers myself and if they didn't eat, I would know something isn't right. We need to rule out intestinal parasites and if that is negative, I recommend an x-ray of his abdomen to rule out an obstruction. I recommend an appointment soon to get to the bottom of Comet's illness. Good luck and kisses to Comet!
