I'm dealing with this too and it does seem to be hunger. We've been going through different foods to try to figure out an allergy and she won't eat some of them.

If it concerns you, call the vet. It may be nothing serious but better safe than sorry.

Hmmmm. The vomit sounds like it's from having an empty stomach, but if he isn't eating normally that could be a symptom of something else entirely, especially since he's not wanting to get up in the morning now. If it keeps up I would probably consider a trip to the vet...

My dog does that in the morning if he's really hungry as well (he's only 8 pounds). Our vet put him on pepcid (a 1/4 of a tablet) for 10 days and it made him better! Or at least, so far it has! Hope your pup feels better!

@Warbler: what kind of food does he eat?

@Warbler: @ValentineMommy: I was going to recommend Pepcid too! My dog will do this when she hasn't eaten but her stomach is upset (who knows why, but usually from getting people food. She has always had a sensitive stomach). We give her a 10mg Pepcid (she's 70 lbs) and she'll usually eat in a few hours. Good luck! I hope it's nothing!

@gingerbebe: that happened to my dog as well, but there were some drastic and scary behavioural changes that went along with it... Extreme lethargy, trying to go to the bathroom a lot, etc. I think as long as OPs dog is still eating, going to the bathroom and behaving normally, it doesn't point to an obstruction. That would be a worst case scenario, I hope, because it sure wasn't fun to go through!

Our pup did this when he was little and the vet said it was hunger/too long without something in his stomach. We knew he had a fast metabolism so we'd give him his daily amount of food in three meals a day. When he started throwing up the bile at night we increased the food amount by a bit and went to 4 meals, one right before bed. He's never done it since. Hope that's it for you guys!

Both of our dogs do this occasionally in the morning before they have had anything to eat. Have you noticed any other symptoms? If your dog isn't eating all his food, it's possible it could be upsetting his stomach.

Our dogs both have wheat allergies and the first sign we had for both was a rash on their belly. Our older dog stopped eating all of his food (we think because he wasn't feeling well after he ate).

I hope your dog feels better soon!
