What causes yellow vomit?

About two hours ago, Boo threw up quite a bit of yellow vomit. I was surprised by the quantity since her last meal was her dinner on Monday night, about 20 hours earlier and she had pooped twice since then. I thot maybe her stomach had settled by now, but when I put everyone's dinner out for them tonite, she did not even come to the kitchen, which is extremely rare for her since she is usually the first one there. So I opened up a can of Science Diet I/D and tried to entice her with that, but she wouldn't touch that either.

Any ideas about what might be the problem? Thanks.

Same as above

I agree with what everyone has been saying, could be an empty tummy, or something more serious.

My bully sometimes does this if he only gets fed once a day.... I tend to settle his tummy with some cooked ground beef and potatoes and a little bit of steamed kibble all mixed into a warm mash. I've never had it where he has lost his appetite though, that's a bigger concern IMO.

hope the problem has been solved by now, but if not...

you will need to "force" some antacid into her to settle the build-up in her GI tract/stomach. I suggest a Tagamet perhaps put into a small square of cream cheese or another soft cheese...pop it into the back of her mouth while you have her head tilted upward, hold the jaw closed and massage the throat so she will swallow. That small amount should, hopefully, stay down. Wait about 30-45mins and it should take effect, allowing her to eat a small amount of enticing food (hope the ID canned will interest her...maybe if you warm it a bit?!!) and if she keeps that down, then repeat again before next meal...one more antacid, wait a bit, then feed. If she approaches this second meal receptively then I would consider her 'back to normal'...but this is how I treat my older dogs when they get upset stomach. Obviously I agree with the others who said that the yellow vomit is from an empty stomach...and what caused that, exactly, could be many things including eating a 'bad leaf' in the yard or anything minor like that.

Don't have any advice, but hope she feels better soon!

that would be a concern..

especially since he's already had two dogs who had pancreatitis.

do you only feed once a day?

All of my dogs vomit bile if they don't eat within 12 hours. They eat at 5PM, snack at bedtime, breakfast at 7AM. No way could they go 20 hours without food. Belle has the most sensitive tummy. She has to eat dinner on time or she vomits yellow bile.

The fact that she hasnt eaten and continues

to not want food, is a huge concern.

I've had 2 dogs with pancreatitis, both vomited yellow bile and both refused any type food enticement.

bright yellow, is most the time from empty stomach

try giving her some chicken noodle soup, like 1 cup and a piece of bread soaked in it, and see how she holds it down. you can also give her some saute'd chicken with fresh ginger diced up, and see if it will settle her stomach.

Might involve the liver

My first concern would be pancreatitis.
