Causes of vomiting in dogs

1. Indigestion. If a dog eats food that is difficult to digest, it will spit out the indigestible food through vomiting.

2. Motion sickness. Dogs will vomit if they get carsick, just like humans.

3. Disease. Many diseases can cause vomiting in dogs, such as gastroenteritis, intestinal obstruction, etc.

How to deal with dog vomiting

1. Frequent vomiting: Dogs that often vomit will quickly become weak, especially older dogs with diseases that are more harmful.

2. Throwing vomiting: It may be gastrointestinal obstruction.

3. Lethargy and depression: This indicates that the dog’s health is affected.

4. Severe diarrhea: Severe vomiting and diarrhea can cause dehydration of dogs and affect their health.

5. Decreased urination: Decreased urine output is related to dehydration.

6. Abdominal pain and swelling: This situation usually makes the dog vomit more seriously.

If the dog has only vomited once or twice and has no other symptoms of discomfort, you can appropriately fast from food and water for half a day. If the dog does not vomit during this period, you can provide the dog with a small amount of drinking water. If the dog still does not vomit after 12 hours, you can give the dog some cooked chicken (remove the bones and skin). If the dog still does not vomit, you can gradually increase the amount of food to the dog in the past two days.

But please note that if the dog starts to vomit again during this process (about three days), you need to take it to the pet hospital for formal examination.

Methods to prevent vomiting in dogs

1. Eating habits should not change suddenly. It takes a while for a dog to adapt to a new diet, and changing dog food should be done gradually.

2. Pay attention to the toys prepared for dogs that are not easy to shed or break, so as to prevent the dog from swallowing the fallen hair or fragments into the stomach, causing gastrointestinal tract irritation or obstruction.

3. When feeding bones to your dog, be careful not to give it too big or undercooked bones.

4. Some foods that humans can eat are very dangerous for dogs, such as grapes, raisins, chocolate, xylitol, onions, garlic, leeks and high-fat items. Do not give them to dogs. .
