If he throw up the yellowish stuff it most likely bile. I have 2 chis that bring up bile every so often. The pawing maybe he wanted out my little ones sleep with me and if they throw up in the night they always get off the bed and when done they come right back up. I have stairs by the bed for them. As for the growling right after, he may have felt like he was going to spit up a little more. You did the right thing in letting him slowly go back to his bed. Barbara Blackburn

He threw up yellowish gold stuff. I can understand lots of reasons for him to throw up, but what do you think the "pawing" was. Maybe he just didn't want to soil his bed?

My chi, Monster, throws up occasionally this clear white stuff and sometimes yellow stuff. Most of the time its from eating something he shouldn't have and sometimes I don't know the reason. He's 5 years old and perfectly healthy.

He can just have aten something you didn't see and that can have been on his stommage to. Especially if he's fine now. If you are scared now just go in for a check up. Not all dogs die after throwing up you know. People should think first before scaring somebody. --- On Sun, 10/3/10, C.M. <[email protected]> wrote: >From: C.M. <[email protected]> >Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] A very scary experience >To: [email protected] >Date: Sunday, October 3, 2010, 9:47 PM > > > >Oh No!
