Puking Chihuahua

Have you ever seen vomit that looks like this?

Wow, I actually have seen barf like that before, but I usually identified it as poop 'cos of the shape. That's strange, though. Considering it started recently, I think it would be something he ate. I know nylabones cause some issues with my dogs (but so do greenies)...

I can't be of much help, because I don't really know what could be causing it. But hopefully someone here will know, or you can take him to the vet if it continues. Good luck

He doesn't get nylabones or greenies, just bully sticks. I'm concerned he may have eaten something weird too.

looks like recently chewed food.
my dog had that a bit before i switched her brand of kibble. it just wasnt agreeing with her

The weird thing is that he pukes hours and hours after eating. And he's been eating this food for 4? months without any problem.

Lol, I'm used to puke being a lot runnier and not so solid.

My cats have vomit like that once in awhile. There's usually hair in it.

He has special hair vomit that is different from this. The little bugger likes to eat hair, it's very annoying cause he hates it when a piece of poo hangs by a hair from his butt and he's running around like a maniac trying to get it off while I'm searching for a leaf(if outside) or tissue to grab the poo and pull it off.

Could potentially be a partial obstruction, straining to poop could be caused by that and puking can also be caused by that as well. I would suggest taking him to the vet just to make sure it isnt something really bad.

Just got back from the vet and I am posting an update.
