dog is throwing up, help!?

Recently my dog, a beagle, has been throwing up. Yesterday morning i woke up to one spot on the floor. It appeared to be brown with bits of food in it. She seemed okay and we later went on a walk that night. This morning I woke up to another two spots of the same substance. Our beagle happens to be heavily overweight. Because of this, we recently put her on a diet to lose weight. We have tried not giving her any human food at all, however, my mom occasionally gives her a bite of chicken or something. Her eating has now rapidly decreased. Our program is walking her once a day in the morning and feeding her 1 and 1/4 cups of dog food spread out through the day. It is possible that she broke into trash and had something. This diet started about one day before the throwing up. All help is appreciated. Thx!

    If you have reason enough for concern, its a reason enough to contact your vet who you have been seeing.

    If your dog is still eating as normal then allow it 1 or 2 more days until any immediate action is taken. Sometimes dogs just throw up for many reasons, it does not mean they are going to die.

    If your dog stops vomiting then let it go, however if the vomiting continues over the next 1 or 2 days then go to your vet for advice, explain the symptoms and they have have an underlying problem to resolve.

    You mentioned your dog being over weight, did your vet rule out type 2 diabetes? They may be something to consider if symptoms persist.

    good luck, i hope your dog gets better!

    She could be getting used to the diet, or maybe something in the food didnt agree with her.

    However, its also possible that she was hungry and decided to eat something outside she was on a walk, so if she keeps vomiting go to a vet.
