Methods for treating dog vomiting

When a dog vomits, you should first pay attention to the frequency and number of vomiting, as well as the color and quantity of the vomit. If you vomit 1 or 2 times without any other abnormal symptoms and continue to eat after vomiting, it is mostly physiological vomiting and can be ignored, but this situation is relatively rare. In addition to excluding physiological vomiting, if vomiting occurs, the following measures are generally taken.
1. Generally, vomiting does not affect eating and does not require special treatment.
2. If frequent vomiting affects eating, fasting and drinking should be avoided for 4-6 hours to prevent accidental entry into the trachea. After vomiting stops, eat gradually, or supplement nutrition and water intravenously.
3. Sedation and antiemetics, such as oral administration of vitamin B6, diazepam, metoclopramide, atropine or the human drug domperidone, or oral administration of chlorpromazine, intramuscular injection, or intramuscular injection of Emol to stop vomiting.
4. If you vomit frequently and for a long time, do not eat, or vomit immediately after eating, and are accompanied by other abnormal symptoms, such as lack of energy, elevated body temperature, etc., you should be sent to a doctor for treatment in time.
5. Dogs often vomit, and the vomit is not food and has a different color. Gastritis, foreign bodies in the stomach, gastric volvulus, food poisoning, drug poisoning, or the early stages of canine parvovirus may be suspected.
Overall, dogs often act as if nothing happened after vomiting. In fact, in addition to physiological vomiting problems, it is safer for owners to take their dogs to the hospital for a checkup.

Pay attention to the color of the vomit when a dog vomits

1. If the dog vomits food and eats the food back immediately, then he will be fine. This kind of vomiting is physiological vomiting, that is, vomiting similar to rumination. There is no need to see a doctor for this kind of vomiting.
2. If the spitted out saliva is mostly due to an esophageal problem. Such as: foreign body in esophagus.
3. If the color of the vomitus is transparent or white and thin, this is gastric juice, which is the gastric acid secreted by the stomach. This type of vomiting is most common in acute gastritis. If everything feels normal after vomiting, you don't need to see a doctor yet, just fast for 12 hours. If vomiting persists, you still need to see a doctor, because vomiting may be caused by foreign objects blocking the gastrointestinal tract, or caused by liver, kidney, or pancreatitis.
4. If the color of the vomitus is yellowish-greenish, it means that bile has been vomited out. Usually when you see vomiting of this color, you need to see a doctor, except that it may be a problem with the liver, kidney, pancreas, etc. , as well as ulcers in the gastrointestinal tract.
5. When the color of the vomited out is brown, it is not the color of the feed or food, but the color of the gastric juice is brown, which means there is bleeding in the stomach. The most common ones are gastric ulcers and duodenal ulcers.
6. If it is bright red, it means acute bleeding and you need to go to the doctor quickly.
