Morning Sickness At Night?

Two nights in a row, after eating her food Vega tossed her kibble. The first night it happened several hours after she ate. Last night it was almost immediate. But she's shown no other signs of being sick. She's perky, playful and attentive.

As I was researching the possible causes on the Internet, I found an article by a veterinarian who said that some pregnant dogs experience "a lack of appetite and something approaching morning sickness" three to four weeks into pregnancy.

The timing is right. So, maybe this means Vega is pregnant!

However, PETMD.com offers other possible reasons for vomiting that include: change in diet (no), gobbling food/eating too fast (possibly), obstructing objects (unlikely), acute inflammation of stomach, parasites, tumors and other diseases I'd rather not contemplate. By the way, what's coming out the other end is perfectly normal.

Barring any additional symptoms, I'm going with the pregnancy theory. Today, I fed her three small portions of chicken and rice and she's been fine. I plan to transition her back to her regular food in the next day or so but continue to feed smaller portions more often.

If she really is expecting, by the end of August Vega's pregnancy should start to become more obvious. The "morning sickness" should be gone and her appetite will start to increase - a lot. She could be eating two to four times the amount of food she ate before she became pregnant.

But I'm not getting too excited yet. Tonight, I'll be happy if she makes it 'til morning without getting sick.
