Types of dog vomit
The four types of dog vomit by Dave Schuler on December 4, 2005 It’s an oldie but a goodie. I don’t know the original source of this but it’s pretty wellknown to dog lovers. YELLOW URKA-GURKA Dog runs around the house and hides under furniture while making a prolonged ‘uuuuurka-guuuuurka, uuurka-guurka’ noise. (This noise is the only thing guaranteed to wake up a true dog lover who is hung over from a post dog-show celebration at 3:30 a.m.) After mad scrambling to capture the dog and drag him outside, the episode ends with an inaudible ten yard slimy yellow froth from the living room rug to the back door. BLAP DISEASE Dog exercises hard and (a) eats large mouthfuls of snow (winter Blap Disease) or (b) drinks a bucket of water (Summer Blap Disease). Within two minutes of returning inside, the dog spews out large amounts of clear slimy liquid while making a distinctive ‘blap’ sound and a sharp percussive noise as it hits the linoleum. GARKS Dog suddenly clears his throat with loud and dramatic ‘gggaark, gggark’ noises generally followed by prolonged ‘iiiksss’ and then loud satisfied smacking noises. There is nothing on the rug. Don’t investigate, you don’t want to know. RALFS Apropos of nothing, the dog strolls into the dining room and waits till the innocent dinner guests are all watching him. Then, with a single deep gut wrenching ‘raaaalff’ dislodges the entire weeks’ contents of his stomach on the dining room rug. Variation: Then he eats it. In all the above events the dog is entirely healthy and indeed deeply pleased with himself. |

Yummy...   |
| So since we are on the subject..... What is the difference between the yellow gooey frothy vomit and, say, a pile of regurgitated food? Empty stomach vs. full? |
| ^^^^^ Yep. An empty stomach contains mostly bile, otherwise known as the "yellow stuff". Laurie and Oscar |
| There are two really sad yet important points to be made here. 1. I read the title and then eagerly OPENED the post. There's something really wrong with me, and if you're reading this, there's something really wrong with YOU, too. People....it's a post entitled "Types of dog vomit."  And here we all are!2. As I read it, without even a moment of "ick" or "blech" I conjured in my mind specific incidents from the past where those exact types of vomiting happened. I could remember the dog, the setting, and even the sound with perfect clarity, and I nodded in eager agreement throughout the whole article. In fact, I found it hilarious. I need professional help. Really. We should look into a group rate.   |
| And how about the sad case that originally posted it.......thinking it.....informative, amusing? That's the wonders of certain dog owners who are not put off by natural ......and sometimes not natural......emissions from our hairy buddies. I too remember examples of each........  |
Ah, I also eargerly opend this post  I might add my two cents...Some fo the "vomitting" is really regurgitation. Actual vomitting is a very distinct sound of hacking first. followed by usually debris of food particles...Dogs that were out running and come in and drink alot of water will often "vomit" but its from drinking the water too fast on an exercised stomach. Very different than actual vomitting...If your dog is "vomitting" after drinking alot of water after exercise, simply hold off water for a few minutes until dog calms down before giving water. Then give a small amount, wait and give more. If your dog is actually vomitting after eating, or is vomitting a few hours after eating, that may be a symptom of an underlying illness.. |
I wanna know if you have a tiled floor why the hell do they chuck on a mat or rug or there dog bed !!!!   Way easier if they did the Ol Heave Ho on tiles to clean up  Syd brought up a hair ball, shaped like a log, HUGE He managed to do that all over his bed and not the tiles, hence the washing machine and out onto the clothes line to dry. Darn it, it would of been better if he heaved Ho on the tiles then a simple wipe up then |

| Yeah Tracie you're so right. It's 8.25pm on Friday night and I'm not only sitting here reading this but I'm cracking up. DH says he doesn't want to know. Can you see if they'll include e-counselling in the group rate for me. Lisa, they don't barf on the tile because that night "splat" sound is the sound of it bouncing and they don't want barf splatters on their legs. Far better to aim for the rug, bedding etc as it absorbs the bounce nicely. |
Then there's the super lazy.... angle your head off your's & your upright's bed and Heave Ho.  Yep, not only do they favor the carpet, they avoid the throw rugs placed over the carpet to catch such emissions.......successfully hitting the few inches in between or against the wall. When they do hit the tile, you want to cheer.  The worst is when they come to you with vomit breath and you don't know where to begin looking...... |
| UUUUGGH ! I started this post with a strong stomach... now I'm not sure if I'm going to Ralf, Gark, Blap or Urka-Gurka!!! |

Then there's the ever-popular middle-of-the-night barf, usually taking place ON the bed...during which you (the dog owner) are desperately trying to simultaneously kick the dog OFF the bed, find the light switch, and examine the puke for evidence of whats wrong before dog # 2 EATS it.  Tracie: your comment had me laughing so hard I think I did myself an actual injury |

But I agree that there's something wrong about this. 2. Yes, me too! LOL |

| Ditto here. One gift outside my bedroom door, on the throw rug Long ago learned to wait..........10 minutes later another on another throw rug Then I got up. |
