    If she is still playing and wants to eat, I wouldn't consider it an immediate emergency, unless of course, she is not able to keep any water down or is refusing to drink her water. But, if she has been vomiting after every meal for 2 days, it is time to call your vet and arrange to bring her in for a health check. She might have chewed on something that your are not aware of or she could have a simple virus. So, either leave a message with your vet's office tonight to see if they will take you tomorrow, or call first thing in the morning. Whenever you decide to call, make sure you explain fully her age, and what is going on. Please let us know what the vet says. I hope she is okay.

    Interesting, I would give her about half as much food as you are giving her and feed her more frequently.. perhaps she is just gourging herself and that is the cause of the vomiting issue.

    Although it is common for Labs to devour their food, they seldom seem to have problems. I saw your question last night, plus RubyPitbull's answer, and choose not to say more. It is also quite common for young Labs to eat anything and everything they find. This often causes a blocked intestinal tract, vomiting, and either a lack of bowel movements or diarrhea. Ruby was right, see the vet. Sudden changes in eating, almost always call for a vet check.

    At 6 months, I cut my Labs back to one meal a day, and already have them on adult chow to slow growth allowing more time to develop sturdy joints. If eating too fast is a problem, there are better ways slow them down rather than just limiting how much they wolf down at a time. You can spread the food out on a cookie sheet or something, many of my friends just throw it on the floor of their crate. Another way is to put large rocks, too big to get in their mouth, in the food bowl.

    Thank you for updating us! I am glad you brought her to the vet and that she is now doing well sammax. Enlarged pancreas? Did the vet say this was a genetic condition or did he mention what might have brought it on? That poor dog. Did the vet outline a bland diet for her?

    The Vet Said She Ate Something That Infected Her System. Not Sure What. She Is On A Diet Now And Is Doing Great! No More Rawhides Just Bones From The Butcher.
