Eight month old puppy throwing up.
Submitted by Jamesv8 on April 21, 2010 - 12:03am My eight month old puppy throws up all the time even after drinking water it is white foamy. And when she eats the same treats as my other three Bulldogs the chicken strips sometimes make her sick. I take them to Braums for vanilla soft frozen yogurt fat free and she loves it but throws it up right after she eats it. It Has never made the other dogs sick and I have had nine of them.I kept her because she was the runt of my last litter so she is smaller than the other one that I kept.They all loved it Thank Youhttp://www.network54.com/Hide/Forum/554615

One of the common indications of megaesophagus
is what's termed "projectile vomiting" meaning that the dog doesn't always gag slowly, but rather the vomit shoots out, and often its undigested. What happens is that there is a "pouch" of a few low-spots in the food pathway to the stomach and digestive acids lie there, causing some ulceration/irritation which prompts the projectile vomiting. I'm sure a vet can explain it more clearly, but there is no "cure" for this that I'm aware of, but rather management by altering the way the dog is fed (type/consistency, dish arrangement, frequency, possible anti-acids?) and its usually confirmed with barium-die x-rays taken over several hours (as is done when dogs have a suspected internal blockage and the exact location needs to be determined prior treatment/surgery). Let's hope that its something much simpler to treat...and I agree that an evaluation of her soft palate (length of it) should be a starting place. You'll need an experienced "bulldog vet" for this because its a comparative evaluation along with patient history, not something that can be measured externally.

It may be megaesophagus
you may want to ask your vet about this condition.

sounds like it could be soft palette....
that is one of the symptoms.. she may need it trimmed
i would have her checked by a vet if it is happening all the time. just my 2 cents...... hope they figure it out.
