my dog is throwing up
Hey,
My dog is a Whippet and she is 10 years old. Last night she threw up 8 times for no apparent reason. After the 8th time she tried to throw up again but nothing came out anymore. Tonight she just threw up again. She just had a vet appointment last week and everything was fine he said but why is she throwing up all of a sudden? We havent changed her diet in any way that would cause this..

No idea, but make sure you keep her hydrated at this point. She's losing a lot of liquid and dehydration can cause death.

We used to have a small dog. She was notorious for going to neighbors for treats. One elderly demented neighbor would throw their old spoiled food out in their garden hoping it would compost eventually. ONe day, we figured she must have gone too far from home and ended up eating what she found in this neighbors yard and got a severe case of food poisoning. We had to put her in the bathroom because she was puking and shitting (the runs) at the same time just as we were leaving for work. When we got home, it was no better. We waited another day hoping it would improve but it didnt. So we took her in. we called the vet the next day and when they saw her she was dehydrated severely. That is the danger you run right now with your dog if its not taking in liquids and keeping it down. They kept her overnight and watched her. She seemed to be fine once rehydrated and they gave her something to eat and she was able to keep it down so we were able to take her home again. If your dog couldnt get into any old food outside from a garbage can or something, then it could be something else, maybe an obstruction in her digestive tract, something she swallowed that is stuck.

Only a Vet would know. Call them up, and ask if they think it's anything specific. If not, as to take her in, and get her checked out.
It's the only way you can make sure she is OK.
Good luck!
