What Is Retching In Dogs - Web dry heaving refers to retching or attempting to vomit without actually getting stomach contents out. Web dog retching is the precursor to vomiting where the abdominal muscles forcefully contract in an attempt to expel contents from the stomach upward through the esophagus. This means you may hear the typical “honking” noises dogs make before they vomit, and see their head held low, their mouth open, and their stomach muscles contract as the body tries to push the stomach contents up and out. However, the stomach may not contain anything to expel.
