She has started vomiting again.
Last time we went to the vets and he gave us some antacid and anti nausea medication and she's been more or less fine since.
She's been wormed recently, hasn't lost any weight, is eating, poohing and weeing normally. She's drinking a little more than usual but I think it's because the heating is on and it's warm indoors. She did the same in summer when it was hot. It's usually at night. She sleeps in the bed and gets warm. Great for us in winter! We have a big bowl upstairs and downstairs and she invariably gets up, demands a light be put on then climbs back to bed.
Today she's been sick twice. Once at 8:30 before brekkie and once at about 16:30. Her gums etc look nice and pink.
I am at a bit of a loss. I've nothing more I can tell the vet symptomwise that the last visit a few weeks ago.
The only other thing she is doing is rubbing her snout and chewing her paws (Bluebird is doing the same) and on Monday had a huge anal gland disaster on the bed.
There isn`t anything around your land that they could be walking on and/or eating is there?, or have you started using anything different to clean carpets which may account for the snout rubbing and paw chewing.
Sounds to me like hunger sickness if it's frothy bile, a friend of mine's Airedale suffered with the same symptoms.

Nat, I did try changing mealtimes but with four and a very regulated regime it's hard. The dogs get very agitated at minor changes to routine. Last weekend we had a huge storm that knocked out the power for 24 hours. We normally work but the lack of us being in the office and no power made them all extraordinarily unstettled even after the storm passed.
I might have to try putting them all on three smaller meals a day rather than doing something different for coco.
I was going to say the same as Nat because of the time frame being just before meal times. Could you try giving her a little more food at mealtimes to see if that helps? Or some dogs seem to shake the hunger sicks by being given a bonio or similar before bed... maybe a bonio at bedtime then a bonio at lunch time would be less disruptive than changing all their mealtimes?
