Hi Folks, i wonder if anyone can help me. I have a smooth fox terrier (rosie) who is now 3 years old. She is on dry food for her meals, and is fed at dinner time and tea time, we changed from wet food after she was having gastro problems. She was fine on the dry food and picked up really well at first. Now she vomits every morning (bile) and eats grass until she vomits again. After that she is her usual bouncy self. Thanks for any help you can give me. :grin:

Sounds like an empty tummy. Give her breakfast as soon as she gets up, perhaps inplace of dinner.
If this doesn't work, off to the vet.

Thank you for your reply. Once she has Vomited it`s back to her playful self. I`ll give that a try, many thanks:grin:

Does she have anything to eat last thing at night? Something simple like a couple of small dog biscuits. See if that stops the empty tummy bile vomiting

My westie had this a lot and it was cured by giving him a biscuit or two at night before bed. Its too long to go before the next meal for some dogs and they get a build up of bile.

My Lab used to vomit bile in the night.  I gave her a Bonio at bedtime and that seened to do thebtrick.  I agree its due to an empty tummy!

My oldest standard poodle does this sometimes. A bonus or a couple of smaller biscuits after his last thing toiletting does the trick.

I don't understand your feeding schedule - dinner time and tea time - oh wait, dinner = LUNCH?    If this is going on, it could suggest an empty tummy so why not feed breakfast around 7 am and the second meal around 5 pm.   That should make for a more even spread of food.

I occasionally got this with my hounds - middle of the night bile upchuck and my current one started doing this until I worked out that giving him a small amount of tinned Chappie just before he went to bed, around 10 pm, stopped all that.   I did have to reduce the amount in his normal 2 meals or risk him putting on too much weight :grin:
