Is it normal for a dog to often throw up water after drinking?
My (bleep)zu maltese often does this after alot of exercise. She runs around, has a drink, then throws the water back up shortly after?

You need not bleep anything, the correct spelling is Shih Tzu. There could be a problem with a dog doing this, but it would take evaluation by a veterinarian to find out. Meanwhile, I'd try to slow her down a bit on drinking too much too fast after running.

Mine used to do this -- at some point she stopped. I never figured it out. It's not normal though.
