Morning throw ups

[Rebecca bratter]

Does anyone else's doodle have an issue with morning vomit?  I will post in the food group also as I wonder if it's tied to diet.  This is something new that started in the last year, I know it's due to acid build up in Madiba's tummy and we try to give her a few pumpkin snacks early in the morning but she does about 13 hours between dinner and breakfast.  If we don't catch her early, she will vomit bile.  We switched her to a raw diet and added slippery elm bark and a digestive enzyme supplement and for a month, she was not throwing up in the morning but it has started again if we don't get something in her belly after about 8 hours.  I can't figure out how to control the acid build up in her tummy/digestive system.  I also wonder if there is any connection to the PROIN she takes for her leaky spinchter, she has been taking this most of her life, she leaks pee at night if we dont give this to her.  This started almost from when she was 3 months old and prior to her spay.  I had her on some alternate natural supplements but when we weaned her off the proin completely, she started leaking again.  We are working with a dog nutritionist and are now ordering a bio identical hormone supplement for her.  This makes me nervous, but I am learning that the Proin is really bad.  Any insights?

This sounds like Madiba.  My only remaining question is what causes the acid build up in the stomach, not all dogs get it, why do some?  Is that just like asking why do some people get acid reflux?  This is a new thing for Madiba so something has changed, or she just getting older?

Nobody knows why some dogs have this issue and others don't, much like most other health issues. But it seems to be pretty common. And digestive issues can start at any age.
