A good point about the drugs, it makes me think of another thing invloving Bailey.
I have realized that because he is on Rhymadyl (some kind of NSAID, like asprin) he will throw up some time later if he does not eat his breakfast with his morning pill. Especially if exercise is involved. The doctor has him on an antacid, but that does not work as well as eating at the right time. Eating works every single time, 100%. So does not eating.
I might not have figured this out, but I have exactly the same problem, including the exercise making it worse. I could see another dog owner missing this point, because the vomiting happens at different times. Bailey does better with three meals a day instead of two, it keeps the food level in his stomach more even. Of course he gets tested periodically to see how the Rhymadyl is treating him. This is important too. The Rhymadyl is a huge help.
