Vomiting pale yellow fluid for about half a month, but energy is still good
Based on your description, the dog has vomited for about half a month but remains energetic; this is mainly considered to come from diet issues, chronic gastroenteritis, or intestinal parasite infection. If the diet is greasy or hard to digest, it burdens the gut and can trigger vomiting and other digestive problems. Second, chronic gastroenteritis can also cause frequent vomiting; in that case give some anti-inflammatory medicine and probiotics to improve it. In addition, if the dog is infected with internal parasites, the multiplying parasites damage the gut environment and cause vomiting. Find the cause of the vomiting first so you can apply the right treatment.
