    If you dog is vomitting, what do you do? How long do you give to see if it settles before you go to a vet?

    BTW: The answers have no bearing on what we have done, but I'm wondering what other people do?

    I normally leave it well overnight as such if they started that evening.. Or if there is any blood I would take them in straight away..

    Like this one time :) well there was a boil water notice and I just did not think (as we had a filter on the tap) that it would effect us with the filter but sure it did and the dog got sick from it, same with after a bone sometimes she would get sick..

    Personally unless they were extremely lethargic and have bad Diarrhoea as well, i would probably wait until the next day before bringing them. Or if they were vomitting that morn and still doing it that night i would bring them to the vet as dehydration can be quite serious.

    Give him only water and maybe a small bit of dry chicken breast for a day or so, he might have a small stomach bug, if he's constantly getting sick I'd bring him the vets after that

    It depends for me - if they're throwing up something that didn't agree with them eg Bailey eating seaweed :rolleyes: I usually wait until it's all up. If it's random and I think they're sick I'd wait and see how they got on - maybe skip a meal and feed small amounts often and watch them closely. We're lucky enough that our vets would be open until 7:30pm during the week and its open at the weekend too so we can take a wait and see approach and if we think they're getting worse take them straight over.

    Bailey can resource guard his puke and eat it again which complicates things. We had to induce vomiting twice where it was just a cycle of him puking, eating and puking again and just easier and safer to bring it all up and be done with it!
