I'm going to see about getting Colby into the vet next week, but until then does anyone have any ideas what could be causing these symptoms?

Urinating in the house
not showing as much interest in his food
occasional throwing up yellow bile

Those symtoms could be many things but no matter what I certainly would have a vet check Colby out.

Hey Jodie - if the symptoms have come on suddenly, I'd get him to the ve tonight. If it has been happening over a few days or weeks, my stand-by is boiled rice and chicken for a few days until the system settles or the vet has been seen. Since your note doesn't say no interest in food, as long as he's eating something I don't think I'd worry too too much. The urinating in the house could be an UTI, though which could have him off his food.
Here is a link that may be helpful

Is there an Emergency Vet you could call to ask if he should be seen?

Poor baby. Sending prayers and positive thoughts your way.

I agree with Sunrise's advice.


Did the symptoms come on suddenly?

How old is he?

These are things I've noticed over the past week or so. Not constant enough that I was immediately worried, but now that those things have occurred several times throughout the week I figure I better get him checked out and make sure he's okay.

When I feed him raw or homemade food he gobbles it up, and most of his kibble meals he's eating, but a few times this week he has kind of picked at the kibble like he didn't really want it and left some in the bowl.

The urinating in the house I'm not sure if it's because he really has to go or if he's just discovered that he enjoys marking in the house but I'm finding pee spots everywhere.

I guess the main one that's stood out in my mind and got my attention is the vomiting....it's occurred several times over the past week.

He'll be six on September 8 (well that's his made up birthday since he's a rescue)

Those symptoms are concerning.. I'd get to the vet.

You know, with all the recalls going on I'd be concerned you might have a bad batch of food .. I will admit to be biased against kibble though. But is he urinating or vomiting more after eating kibble than after eating raw? Or vice versa?
Have you opened a new batch of food recently?

Good thought. Do you think if it's the food I'd be seeing symptoms in the other dogs too, or maybe since he's smaller he's more sensitive?

The three symptoms may not be related.
The lack of interest in some kibble meals could be he is more interested in the raw meals and he is not hungry enough to "want" the kibble.
The peeing could be as you stated marking or it could be something going on.
The vomiting yellow bile means that when it occurs the stomach is empty. If there was an food in the stomach that would also come up with the bile. Is he eating grass/weeds prior to vomiting?
Whatever the case I would have him looked at.
