Intermittent night time vomits

[MrChew]

Every few weeks/months Chewie will wake up at say 4am, rush out of bed and vomit on the landing. It is almost always just mucous/stomach juices and he is otherwise fine. Usually goes back to sleep while we are still cleaning!

Could it be that he needs a snack before bed? It's worth a try I guess. If anyone has any other thoughts that would be great!

 

[SwampDonkey]

Yep he needs bed time snackipoos

 

[Stacia]

Yes, snack to go to bed. Rourke has three dog biscuits.

Reuben used to do this , and Sam before him . A small handful of kibble does the trick , just before bed x

 

[Aitch]

Yes. My lot get a bit of something or other before bed.

 

[HAH]

Yep - a bit of pre-bed snackage x

 

[VanillaBean]

Agree, need a snack. We found it was worse if Vanilla had a long walk/exercise before hand. So we introduced a 'Bed time Biscuit' after each night time walk. of course now both get it and if we forget we get a small 'grunt' and a look towards the pantry...

 

[Jacqui-S]

Yup, couple of gravy bones at bedtime is our fix.

 

[Charlie]

After I have brushed their teeth Hattie gets a few bits of kibble and Charlie gets a fish skin cube. Never had night time vomiting. x

 

[MrChew]

I'm sure Chewie will be pleased with this development!

 

[snowbunny]

I don’t give mine anything as a bedtime snack, but they don’t get dinner until 8-9pm, so that seems to tide them over well enough.

Chewie is going to love this!

 

[Granca]

Mine just have a small treat when they’re let out in the garden before bed and a kong with a bit of peanut butter smeared inside in their beds. That seems enough (except when Wispa eats something she shouldn’t in the garden!).

 

[Shaz82]

Yes, I have had (and still do occasionally) have this with Maisy, it's just bile from an empty stomach.
I give her a bonio biscuit before going to bed and it seems to work really well, our cue for this @VanillaBean is also Bedtime Biscuit if she's not already waiting by the box

 

[MellowYellow]

Good advice from all x

 

[Jen]

Yep Stanley gets supper.

If we’re not in bed by 10pm he gets really maaaad because he’s only staying up for it

 

[Atemas]

Red goes to bed at 9.00 cos she knows she gets 2 fish cubes. She can be timed to the second when she emerges from her dog bed in the sitting room and is staring to be let out to her bed time bed in another room. It makes us smile

 

[edzbird]

Our both get a small portion of their daily allowance for supper. Introduced when Belle was getting vile vomits in the wee small hours. Unable to un-introduce it now, it's part of the bed time routine.

 

[Selina27]

Cassie too gets a few bits of kibble at bedtime.

 

[M.F.]

Snowie used to vomit at 4am. So we made his dinner twice as big as breakfast plus he gets a bedtime snack, which has got progressively earlier! However, since stopping all tick and flea pesticides, he no longer vomits. So, I don’t know if it was nausea from the flea/tick preventives or actual hunger pukes.

Anyway, there’s no undoing these little snacks. He also gets a nib of butter for his pre-bedtime wee at 9pm. We can set our clocks by Snowie’s meal and snack times!

Yes, Finn gets a nighttime biscuit. Our first lab used to vomit on a very empty stomach in the morning. So now all our labs get a biscuit before bedtime
