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?

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?

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

My dog is a 6 year old Papillon/Pomeranian mix. For the past 8 mo she has been vomiting yellow bile/foam. It can happen mid-day when we are at work, but definitely always between 12:30 am and 3:30 am. She will wake us up to go outside and start to eat grass to induce vomiting. If we don't get downstairs in time, she will vomit (without eating grass) in front of our door. We have had her on a grain-free diet for the last 4 years that she has been our dog and we have either fed her homemade dog food that I prepare (recipe received from vet) or Northwest Naturals raw food. It doesn't matter what she eats, she vomits. We feed her before bed and mid-day our dog walker feeds her. Its just odd that most of her vomiting happens in the middle of the night and not mid-day when we are at work. We have tested for parasites a few times, always negative. Vet has prescribed Cisapride 2.5 mg 2x/day and it DID reduce the vomiting. At one point she stopped altogether and we were able to get her off the drugs. That peace lasted about a month and we started up again and haven't seen a reduction in frequency since taking the Cisapride again. Vet prescribed Metroclopramide 1.25 mg 2x/day. It did not work as good as the Cisapride. I'm at a loss. My vet is very good, but doesn't seem to have any other tools in his toolbox. My husband and I are dealing with a lot of lost sleep (once you're up cleaning up vomit for 15 minutes, its hard to get back to sleep) and my dog is miserable when this happens. Help please!

Our dog was diagnosed with kidney disease and hypothyroidism a month ago. She has had seizures all her life. She takes meds for all three conditions and was put on k/d science diet can and kibble food. A week after changing her diet she started vomiting large amounts of bile & water every morning (and occasionally other times of the day) and now takes meds for that too. They don’t help because she is now no longer eating anything and I think it is like the situation the article mentioned about dogs beginning to have aversions to food because they know it’ll make them sick. We’ve tried smaller meals 3-4 times per day w/ the last meal at 10 pm and the first at 6 am. We’ve tried rice & chicken and used other foods to try and entice her. We’ve made another appointment with her vet but they seem stumped. Can you recommend other ideas or food options to help encourage her to eat. Also, she is drinking lots of water but she throws a lot up in the am and we’ve noticed blood about 3 times per week. Thanks for your time.
