Oh goodness. My pretty baby just threw up a clear liquid all over my bed, and she's been wheezing from time to time and like burping. Nothing unusual today - 1/4 cup of kibble when she woke up, 1/2 cup + a little chicken broth at around 12, and she's been on 2 walks. Oh, and she got some cheerios. We went down to the beach and she was digging a lot -could she have eaten some sand? There was some sand in the area she puked in, but I thought it might have been from her feet though, cuz I haven't rushed her out yet. I can't think of anything she might have gotten into - a little bit of a cooked carrot that I dropped, but would that be bad? Let me know what I should do please. I'm so so worried. If she doesn't get better within like a half an hour I might call the vet, but right now I'm just waiting it out.
Help!

Brinkley did this once and freaked me out! He had eaten/swallowed the cardboard toiletpaper roll! Like almost the whole thing! I had to take him to the vet, and he gave him some peroxide to drink...and that made him throw it all up! It was scary!
I would watch her close and take her in if it is concerning you! Brinkley would hack/wheeze, throw up...drink tons of water, and then start all over.

It's not unusual for a healthy puppy to vomit occasionally. Even adult dogs do so to purge when they have either overeaten or eaten something that upsets their digestion. This usually comes with a little wheezing.
I wouldn't worry if it is just once and she seems otherwise perfectly normal.
However, if it is more than once, and/or she starts acting in any way unlike herself, and/or is lethargic (limp, wanting to sleep all the time), I'd rush her to the vet asap.
Frequent vomiting is the first sign of parvo and other life threatening diseases.

Oh no! I hope Lucy is feeling better!!! Sorry I don't have any useful info, but do check her gums to make sure they are still pink. If they look off, a little gray or pale you should call the vet asap. Big kisses for Lucy

She's acting totally like herself - begging for treats, frolicking around the living room, trying to jump up into my lap
Thanks for the info, you definitely calmed me down a little
It sounds like you mothered her so well. Rocking her, spooning her water. She's so fortunate to have such a devoted mommy. If she's playing and jumping, she should be fine. I agree with the others, it's not so much that she threw up, it's more important whether her behavior is normal or not.
Of course, there's always the possibility that the next time she needs some cuddling and rocking, she will make herself throw up again.

Just kidding.

:lol: You never know... she sneezes when she wants my attention coz of course I'm gonna run over there.. Or she'll jump up on the couch (her new favorite trick) but she can't jump down, soo she knows I'll come running when she barks

And so she jumps up, 2 seconds later she barks. I scurry on over there and bring her down and she proceeds to try to play. Gotta love that.
