| Guy at work gave us a 5 year old lab yesterday. The dog is spitting up clear fluids every now and then. Is this anything to be concerned with? She is still playful and seems healthy. Shot history is unknown. |

Shot history is unknown. I'd start with the vet and shots. Puking multiple times in 2 days doesn't sound right. ETA: At 5 she should still be quite playful an active. |

dog food is crap, give her omnivore food, you know the stuff we eat but nothing that she can't have like onions http://www.pawnation.com/2012/06/05/the-most-dangerous-people-foods-for-cats-and-dogs/12 |

Is she barfing when her stomach is empty and is the fluid yellowish? If so, it could be duodenal reflux, where the intestine contents back up a little into the stomach and irritate it, causing them to puke. My old Lab had it, would hurl liquid bile at 4 AM a few times a week.
Adding another small snack at bedtime stopped it, by keeping the digestive contents moving southbound all night :). Get her to the vet soon anyway. |

Our Bassets used to do this. eat and then drink too much water. Then throw up 20ml or so on the floor. lots of mucus in it but they seemed to feel much better.
I could bank on it and chalked it up to the fact they never figured out that food would expand with water. The dog food swells and something has to go and the water is on top. Take a little food and let it soak for a few minuets and see the expansion. If you cut back on the dry kibble and let her drink her fill she will keep it all down. Your mileage may vary.
