There are two possible causes of brown vomit. In many cases, this color is actually a shade of blood. If it resembles light coffee grounds, you should see your doctor as soon as possible. This may be the result of peptic ulcers, amyloidosis, or other severe underlying condition.

["you've been vomiting repeatedly for more than a day or two.", "you're unable to keep down any fluids because you are vomiting repeatedly.", 'your vomit is green (this could mean you are bringing up a fluid called bile, which suggests you may have a blockage in your bowel – see below)']

Postnasal drip. It's likely that you'll see mucus in your vomit if you throw up when experiencing postnasal drip. The glands in your nose and throat produce mucus that you commonly swallow without noticing. If you start to produce more mucus than usual, it can drain down the back of your throat.

This means that your dog's food had already started being digested before your dog threw it up. The presence of bile isn't necessarily a cause for concern, but it does mean that your dog's system is vomiting up stomach contents that had already started getting digested, which is never entirely normal.

Brown. Discharge is usually brown due to old blood leaving the body, which can be an early symptom of pregnancy. Brown discharge during pregnancy is not generally a cause for concern. However, pregnant women who experience dark brown discharge should contact their doctor.

If there's not enough of it to give your poop its typical brown color, it could be the sign of a problem along the way. Liver disease, such as hepatitis, can keep bile from getting into your body waste. So can a blockage in the tubes (called ducts) that carry bile.

If it's firm, tubular, and covered in mucus, your pal has probably regurgitated. Cat vomit is liquid-like, and the food is more broken down. Your cat likely had a harder time expelling (you'll notice the heaving and retching) if it was vomit. Food allergies can cause vomiting, too.

Vomiting can sometimes be a sign of an infection other than gastroenteritis, such as urinary tract infections (UTIs), middle ear infections, pneumonia or meningitis. Contact your child's GP if they're vomiting and experiencing additional symptoms of an infection, such as a high temperature (fever) and irritability.

Bile is usually yellow or green. Clear vomit is also caused by: Gastric outlet obstruction. This occurs when your stomach is completely blocked by something like a tumor or ulcer.

Your stools might be dark, bloody, black, or tarry. You may have frequent nosebleeds or bleeding gums. You may vomit blood or material that looks like coffee grounds. Alcoholic liver disease also can affect your brain and nervous system.

Since your baby hasn't yet learned to blow their nose or cough up mucus, they'll be swallowing a lot of the mucus, which might cause vomiting. This mucus can come up as a clear or cloudy liquid when they vomit. If your baby is vomiting and has fever and diarrhea, you may notice that the vomit is clear.

Vomiting blood (hematemesis) refers to significant amounts of blood in your vomit. Small streaks or flecks of blood in material you spit up may come from the teeth, mouth or throat and isn't usually considered vomiting blood. Blood in vomit may be bright red, or it may appear black or dark brown like coffee grounds.

Green or yellow vomit may indicate that you're bringing up a fluid called bile. This fluid is created by the liver and stored in your gallbladder. Bile isn't always cause for concern. You may see it if you have a less serious condition that causes vomiting while your stomach is empty.

You will know you are vomiting when you begin throwing up. You will know you have diarrhea when you begin having watery bowel movements. The main result or sign of both vomiting and diarrhea is dehydration.

Vomiting/Diarrhea Vomit may be clear or a yellow or brown color, and diarrhea will often contain blood and be a light yellow or mustard colored hue. In addition to vomiting frequently, your puppy may also appear to be drooling or foaming at the mouth as part of their parvo symptoms.

In adults, pink or red vomit is commonly caused by: Damage to your throat, mouth, or gums from coughing or vomiting. Small amounts of blood may not be reason for alarm. But if you see a significant amount or it looks like coffee grounds, call your doctor to rule out more serious conditions.

If your cat hasn't been chronically vomiting, brown liquid vomit may be indicative of internal bleeding further down the gastrointestinal track. This could be the result of something like a foreign body ingestion or a large hairball impaction that is blocking the intestines and creating inflammation and trauma.
