Puppy vomitting

I'm kind of worried now. My puppy just vomited his food, he's 18 weeks young and he vomited twice when we walked him for the first and second time(probably could find that thread down there about puppy scared of outside). However today when me and my girlfriend got back from work, he was very excited but he did not eat, so we handfed him and he ate somewhere about half of what he usually would have as well as some small amount of treats. After that he went running and jumping around, and then vommited twice. The first one is all undigested food, and the second one is some brownish liquid with some white foam. After that he seems to be really hungry, and is looking for food everywhere. we watched him for two hours and because he was whining, we gave him some canned food that we got from the vets(called Medical Development Fomula, we are from Ontario, Canada). After that he was just doing his normal things, chasing balls, playing with his favorite toy, etc..

We've booked an appointment with our vets but that would be on Saturday, since all other slots all filled.

I was wondering if anybody had any similar experiences?

Thanks
 
Mine vomit sometimes when they get really, really excited and do a lot of running around and playing. Maia, the younger of the two and the more excitable is the one that will get sick once in a while. If she's eaten, she will bring that up, if she hasn't, she will bring up a brownish-yellowy slimy and foamy substance.

My girls do this on occasion as well. Rasha more so than Marlie. Keep your appt. with the vet but at this point I wouldn't be overly concerned unless your puppy is laying around and being lethargic. Let us know that they say.
 
thanks, i skipped work today to take care of him. He was sleeping in the morning, got up, played a bit, and then vomited again. Most of the stuff is the canned food we fed him this morning. We called the vet and he told us it could've been some side effect because our puppy started taking some medicine two days ago, which is for giardia. He also told us Giardia could cause diarrhea or vomitting. He asked the puppy's poop and we told him it was very soft and had some liquid at the end. So he suggested to cook some white rice and white chicken breast and told us to watch him for another 24 hours.

Hopefully he'll get a bit better.

Ok, that explains a lot. The white rice and boiled chicken breast will help a lot. Good luck!
 
Thanks!
Also we are getting him a insurance, now we are trying to choose from $2500 per incident per condition or $5000 per incident per condition. would $2500 per be sufficient enough?
 
Hi! That depends. Is he a breeder puppy? Has he been tested for eye and hip issues? If he's a puppy mill puppy, you'll have more issues. No intent to insult -- I have two breeder and one rescue, and it's still sometimes a crapshoot! :rolleyes2:
 
You said you're from Ontario? Where exactly?

I'm from Ottawa and our vet bills are certainly substantially less expensive than the US.

As Chris points out though, alot of your decision may depend on where your dog came from. If from a reputable breeder, the chances of serious health issues that might require $5,000 of insurance is much smaller. It's no guarantee, so you have to evaluate the risk that pup could have significant health issues down the road, against the cost of the incremental insurance coverage.

I'm personally wishing I'd signed Bacca up for insurance. My forever pup was never sick until the very very end. But the bills are sure adding up with Bacca!
