Bilious Vomiting Syndrome in Dogs

On Tuesday 18th July, 2017 my pet dog was not eating any food that was given to him. He have been consistently vomiting , like a foam and has diarrhea. Today this is still happening. What should I do?

Hi! Our dog,Wilbur, was a rescue from a horder. After 2 years of vbs, I am at my wits end! We have seen four vets, and a behavior therapist! He is a very picky eater, and we have tries everything from prilosec, to pepcid, to prosac, multiple probiotics, ect. to help him. And if he does not eat every 5-6 hours, he throws up. I can't board him because of his severe seperation anxiety, because he won't eat while away from me. We need to perhaps get him on a strict diet, he is not over or under weight, but we need to do something! His overall health is excellent, he even has his OWN therapy dog!! Which has helped somewhat. He has had numerous tests, bloodwork, stool samples, x-rays, ect. which have all came back negative. Any advice?

We picked up my dog after staying with family for a week. He was limping and we were told that two days ago he was pushed over by the other dog while going up the stairs. He was limping but otherwise seemed okay. He then threw up a few hours later, would not eat his dinner and staring shaking a bit. We brought him home and he still didn't eat, won't drink and he starting vomiting clear liquid, then white foam and now it is foam with an orange foul-smelling tinge. He can't seem to sleep and is very restless as well.

Two weeks ago I took a Yorkie to the vet because he was throwing up in the early morning, just bile! They took lab, he had no fever, running, no diarrhea, no bloat,all lab work normal, except the pancreas test it shown some abnormality. So put him on ID Hills diet with boiled chicken. A shot of antibiotics and came home. He started feeling better, then three days ago he started vomiting just in the early morning bile. Is this now BVS? I'm taking him to the vet tomorrow to find out if I should admit him for IV fluids and antibiotics or give me an RX for an H2 blocker of some sort. Thank you

I have a rough collie who is 5 years old. It's been almost a year since he started vomiting early in the mornings. We have tried to split his meals and it will look like this: first meal around 7 am, snack at nook, snack around 5, last meal around 7. Some days he'll be fine but recently he started vomiting again. He's had many blood test and they all look fine. He doesn't have diarrhea and it is, in general, a pretty healthy good with good levels of energy.
He's not taking any medication so I'd appreciate any suggestions for him. He eats Nutranuggets light and sometimes we'll add cooked chicken breast. Once in while he'll eat fruits like watermelon, apples, and melon. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.

My dog has had problems with vomiting for months. Every time she throws up it’s always in the middle of the night or very early in the morning when it starts. Usually it’s only once or twice, but she has had 3 different days where she has thrown up most of the day and vomited 5-11 times that day. One those days she doesn’t eat and it’s difficult to get her to drink but otherwise acts normal. She never acts sick and still seems happy and wants to play even on her bad days. She always vomits fluid which is usually yellow in color and doesn’t have diarrhea. Every test the vet has done has come back perfect. We’ve tried antacids and science diet sensitive stomach food but she’s still vomits. She can go a week or two without vomiting but then it will start again. She may only vomit one day or it could be for days in a row. I’m very careful with what she eats. I feel like our vet is having difficulty figuring this out and I’m desperately looking for answers. Could it be BVS?

My greyhound has been anorexic for over a month. We have tried flatly, steroids, Remeron and now Entyce. He is now refusing all food - canned, chicken, ground beef, tuna, freshpet,and dog biscuits. His lab work x2 has all come back normal and has negative xrays. He is now vomiting bile but no diarrhea. He has lost 20 lbs. He is ten pounds under race weight. HELP

Hi,my 3 yr old rough collie has BVS since a puppy - at first she also often had diarrea which was solved switching to Hil's i/d.But the early morning sickness has not been resolved even with giving her smaller meals more often together with antiacid medication.Otherwise she is perfectly fine healthwise. I read of someone using Fortiflora did the trick but not having problems with diarrea could it be of help or just a waste of time or worst of all cause problems with her poops. Thanks in advance for any advice

My Corgi is a 5 yr old female and 22 pounds. She had an episode of pancreatitis about 1 year ago and needed to stay at the vets over night. She has recovered from that and is now being fed hills science diet light. She has recently started vomiting yellow bile early in the morning. I've read about BVS and decided to try for feeding her more frequent smaller meals. She has no other symptoms and seems to improve when feeding more frequent smaller meals. Except this morning since it is the weekend I woke up later then usual and she vomited and I can fed her which made her stop vomiting. Once in a while I also give her a half of a pepcid. Should I do anything differently and do you believe it is BVS?

I have had my rescued pup since he was 3 months old. He was diagnosed with Parvo and received treatment from it. Since then the only issue I seem to have is that my dog has had issues in the past with throwing up bile on an empty stomach. After some time without eating, he is typically back on his feet eating. Yesterday he started to throw up bile to no end. He is still throwing up nothing but bile with the episodes happening between 1 hour to 3 hours. He is an otherwise healthy dog who is up to date with all his shots and preventative vaccines. He just had a visit to the vet due to allergies and was prescribed aboquel but that was it. Even while being sick he is eager eat ice and sip some water and is fully alert. No signs of lethargy. I am aware that he will need a visit, but I was just in there and he was considered very healthy. Is there anything that can help with this bilious vomiting.
