My golden puppy started throwing up this afternnon (around 1) and keeps doing so (about once per hour). It is a yellowish color and stinks badly.

The only thing he's had to eat today besides his normal food is a pig's ear.

My 4 year old golden, who eats pigs ears all the time began throwing up a few days ago as well. He's been throwing up less frequently (about once per day) and is not acting sluggish like the puppy is.

The puppy doesn't seem to have an appetite and won't even eat rice. He still drinks water though. He's acting sluggish.

Could this be associated with the pigs ears? or, is it something else? I don't know what to do.

it could be cause of the pigs ears. i would have the puppy checked by the vet and the other dogs also. they may need some meds to help them over this. esp. the puppy.

That statement would prompt me to get some testing done ASAP. If it's uncommon for the 4 yr old to vomit after eating pig ears, it's possible he has something wrong with him that the pup now has? Are they both UTD on all shots and such? Having normal stool? No blood, etc? Get into something in the trash? Antifreeze? Something under the sink/outside? Another animal? Not sure, but I would be cautious.

There is no way he could have gotten into something poisonous. Everything is high up and locked away. Both dogs are UTD on all shots, flea meds and heart guard. We are going to take him to the vet first thing tomorrow morning. Some of the things we think he could have are a bacterial infection or an intestinal block. But, since both dogs are vomiting we do not think it is the intestinal block.

Good to hear (about them not possibly getting into anything) and please keep us posted on tomorrow's vet visit! Good luck!

Blocked dogs vomit. The stuff in the intestins has to go somewhere and it backwashes into the stomach when its blocked.

If it was parvo he'd be vomiting blood and shooting blood and dirreah from his anus. He'd also be almost dead right now. They die rather fast.

He may have a virus, he may have an upset stomach, he may have a blockage. I never put blockages past retrivers. They eat way to much stuff.
