Many friends must have encountered dog vomiting when raising dogs. Many people were confused about the situation and rushed to the doctor. In fact, there are many reasons for dog vomiting. Generally speaking, vomiting in dogs is a normal phenomenon. There are many reasons for vomiting. The main reason is that they do not know how to chew slowly.
1. Dog vomitus is mainly undigested food
For dogs, if the vomiting is not accompanied by vomiting blood, fever, etc., and the vomitus is often mainly undigested food, this situation is okay.
Dogs vomit undigested food. This is mainly because when dogs eat, they do not chew carefully and swallow the whole piece. After doing strenuous exercise, sometimes you will vomit out what you have eaten, which is a normal rumination protection situation.
If the owner does not clean it up in time, the dog will eat it again and there is nothing you can do. This is caused by the dog's nature. Therefore, the owner needs to clean it up in time and feed it something else to eat. Add a few tablets of lactase or yeast tablets to your rice to aid digestion.
So, this kind of vomiting can actually be regarded as a relatively normal phenomenon for dogs. (Of course, this presupposes that there are no symptoms such as vomiting blood, fever, severe diarrhea, bloody stools, or lack of energy. If the vomit is only digested food, you can regard it as an instinct of dog self-protection, and don’t be overly nervous.)
2. Dog vomit is yellow water with a strong smell
There are basically two types of dog vomit: one is undigested food; the other is yellow water with a strong smell.
This situation often occurs when the dog eats very hard in the past few days: sometimes, the dog will have a particularly good appetite for several days in a row. On those days, no matter how much you do, he will eat as much as you like and he will also eat snacks. After a few days, it would secretly vomit yellow water all over the floor at night. This yellow water has a strong taste. This is a sign of gastritis. Over the next few days, your dog will lose his appetite.
At this time, the best way is to let it starve for a day. Some pet dog owners feel distressed that their dogs won’t eat, and they must let their dogs eat a little before they feel relieved. But actually this is inappropriate. Because dogs are a typical symptom of being afraid of being full but not afraid of being hungry. Being hungry for a day is no problem for a dog. And be very careful that dogs often get sick because they eat too much.
3. Pay attention to the different colors of vomitus
Therefore, if the vomiting occurs in the above two situations, dog owners do not need to be too nervous, as long as they stay away from it for a few days. But if the vomitus has a different color, you need to pay more attention. It is often caused by pathological changes. For example, if the color of a dog's vomit is yellow-green, it often means bile has been vomited out; if the color of the gastric juice is brown, it most likely means there is bleeding in the stomach, the most common ones being gastric ulcers and duodenal ulcers.
In addition, if you find that your dog that has just arrived in a new home has similar vomiting but cannot spit out phlegm, you must go to the hospital as soon as possible. This is likely to be a prerequisite for canine distemper, and in severe cases, it may affect the dog's life.
