A dog vomiting does not necessarily mean that the sick dog is self-regulating vomiting. When eating something wrong, eating something exotic or toxic, dogs will vomit reflexively in order to clean up their stomachs; Dogs accidentally eat too much or eat too much, and they will spit out some food to avoid bloating; When the mother dog weans the puppy, she will spit out the food she has eaten and let the puppy eat it. If the dog has no other uncomfortable symptoms after vomiting and his physical condition has not changed, the owner basically does not have to worry. In this case, the dog's vomit is mainly sticky food residue. Strenuous exercise leads to vomiting. The digestive function of puppies is still not perfect. Once they get excited, they may vomit. Even adult dogs may suddenly vomit after strenuous exercise, such as running or swimming. If so, as long as the dog calms down, the vomiting will disappear. The way to prevent this kind of vomiting is not to eat too much before taking the dog for strenuous exercise. Dogs vomit after eating grass. When the dog's gastric mucosa is stimulated, he eats something he shouldn't eat and feels uncomfortable, he will try to make himself vomit. At this time, dogs will spontaneously eat grass to induce vomiting, which is why dogs prefer to eat grass during molting. Dogs in molting stage will inevitably swallow a lot of dog hair when licking their bodies, which will make dogs uncomfortable, so they often eat grass. But when eating grass, the owner should try to stop it, because we can't guarantee that the lawn touched by the dog when walking is clean and harmless. On the one hand, the pollution of pesticides and other pesticides is inevitable, on the other hand, grass is often polluted by the excrement of other dogs. What is even more frightening is that the grass may be mixed with poisonous plants (common ivy, morning glory and wisteria), which may be dangerous if eaten by mistake. The owner had better feed the dog before going out, so that the dog has no appetite to eat grass outside. We suggest adjusting the dog's diet so that the dog's stomach can rest. After the dog vomits, the digestive tract, especially the stomach, will become more sensitive. At this time, if you let him drink water or feed him food immediately, he may vomit again. It is best to let the dog be quiet for a few hours before letting it drink water, and it is best to wait for 24 hours before feeding. This is why experienced owners will ask the dog to fast and drink water as soon as they see the dog vomit. Don't worry, skipping meals all day won't have any effect on dogs with normal health. B these vomits show that there is something really wrong with the dog. Poisonous vomiting dogs are likely to vomit after eating poisonous things by mistake. The poisonous things mentioned here may be different from the owner's usual understanding. Many things that are harmless to humans are dangerous to dogs. Common items that cause dogs to vomit are: food: 1. Onions: Onions and green onions may change the red blood cells of dogs, causing anemia, vomiting, jaundice and other problems, and even death in severe cases. Many owners think it doesn't matter to eat less, but Tiandihui has been exposed to several incidents in which dogs were poisoned and died because they ate onions and fried mutton. Therefore, when feeding dogs, salads, hamburgers and soups containing onions should be avoided. 2. Chocolate: The main problem brought by chocolate is nervousness, which may cause convulsions or polyuria, and even lead to death in severe cases. Especially in summer, dogs who like cold drinks eat a lot of chocolate ice cream, which may also be dangerous. Plants: In addition to morning glory, ivy and wisteria that dogs may eat by mistake when eating grass, lily of the valley and yew can also cause poisoning, and dogs will have symptoms such as drooling, vomiting and shortness of breath. Daily necessities: Under normal circumstances, dogs will not take the initiative to contact daily necessities, but some naughty dogs want to try these things out of curiosity. If dogs eat cosmetics, various detergents, gasoline and even cigarettes, they will also vomit due to poisoning. Vomiting caused by digestive system disorder Many digestive system problems, such as gastritis, duodenitis, esophagitis, pharyngitis, gastric dilatation, gastric ulcer, gastric volvulus and intestinal obstruction, may cause vomiting. It is very important for the doctor to judge the location of the lesion if he can accurately tell the doctor when the dog vomits. For example, vomiting just after a meal may be a stomach problem, and vomiting after a few hours may be a duodenal problem, such as vomiting after eating for a long time, vomit and the smell of feces, which may be intestinal obstruction. Before going to the hospital, the owner should pay attention to whether the dog spits out water, food scraps or parasites, which can explain the different reasons for vomiting! Vomiting Because there are parasites in the body, owners who have just started feeding puppies are often caught off guard by roundworms. Especially after feeding insect repellent, the puppy may cough violently and then spit out white twisted ascaris. In fact, it is hard to avoid the occurrence of ascaris lumbricoides, which will spread through the placenta or the mother's milk. If you can't adhere to the instructions of insect repellent regularly, it may lead to death in serious cases. There are also some common problems that may cause vomiting. Swallowing foreign bodies, allergies and visceral lesions are all inducing factors. Specifically, what causes your dog to vomit needs to be taken to a pet doctor for examination and treatment.
