He's 8 months old and is vomiting bile very frequently (4 days a week) before his food, despite the fact I've spread his meals out to 4 times a day.

    At 8 months old, and with them being sick with bile so frequently (4 days a week), I really think it warrants a vet’s opinion, even though their meals are already split into 4 feeds. The fact that it’s mostly in the morning on an empty stomach can sometimes be linked to an empty stomach, but it’s best to check there isn’t another underlying cause.

    In the meantime, keep a close eye on their appetite, stools, weight, and behaviour. If they are sick several times in a row, can’t keep water or food down, become lethargic, have blood in their vomit or stools, or seem to be in pain, I’d get them seen quickly. Best of luck, I hope you find out what’s causing it soon.

    Hello, What are you feeding him? Is it dry food? Have you noticed if the vomiting is accompanied by a change in his general condition (lethargy, for example)? An 8-month-old puppy vomiting bile four days a week despite having four spread-out meals needs to be seen by a vet quickly. At this age, while they are still growing, such frequent bilious vomiting can quickly lead to stomach irritation (gastritis), dehydration, or nutritional deficiencies. I would therefore advise you to consult your vet in the next few days so they can examine your dog and reach a diagnosis to help settle him. Best regards, Laure.
